Anybody think they/the world would be better off if they were never born?

I'm never going to cure any disease. I probably not going to save a life - I don't know CPR or anything. I don't volunteer at a soup kitchen. Yet I've had positive impacts on many others in my 50+ years on this planet. However brief, it all adds up to me being on the positive side of Karma. But I don't have to convince anyone of that. I certainly don't have to convince myself - I just have to know it through my actions.

You just do what it takes. Interact in the positive. Small steps. Share a funny picture - make someone laugh.

And then how can you deny the world that moment of joy? How can you say it would have been better without the laughter?

Your mind is more powerful than you can imagine.
If you think you can or you think you can't, you are probably right.

Shit thinking leads to shit.
If you plant ice you are going to harvest wind.

The following statement is true.
The proceeding statement is false.


Follow this advice and I guarantee you will be better in a week:

Every night before you go to sleep think of three positive things you did that day.
It can be not much like making a sandwich for someone or going for a walk.
did the dishes, exercised, cleaned up, made something, went to work, let a guy in while driving...
Even the shittiest people do some positive stuff each day, you just have to recognize that you actually do positive things.

Your mind is more powerful than you can imagine.

What on earth makes you feel like that? Life is what you make it and everyone makes mistakes in their life and do things that other people don't like them for, so you have to learn by your mistakes and do things that people will like you or remember you for and they don't have to be huge things just a little kindness goes a long way give it and you wil receive it. Where is your family and you must have friends when your feeling like this you need company or go see a doc, just someone to offload your feelings to will make you feel better. You are special and you have been put on this earth for a purpose you just have to find it, the holiday season can be a depressing time I'm not keen on it myself and I think those that aren't do tend to have negative thoughts on accasion but its over now so onward and upward my old mum used to say if you do want to talk pm me I'm willing to listen.

The video clip from....whatever that tv show is called with the baldwin dude in it....hits close to home.

I'm just a big fuck up. I have good intentions most of the time, but bad descicions is usually all that come of them. If it wasn't for my child, I'd say that there is nothing good that has come from me. I'm almost30 with nothing, NOTHING, to show for it.The only thing I have succeded at in life, is getting in trouble, and having a child. Everything I have, has come from my family supporting me....I'm not sure the impression you all will get from this, it would be hard, to put it all in to text. There is too much to say.

I'd never kill myself because I would not, COULD NOT, leave my mom, dad, brother, grandmother like that. It would be too hard on them and I could never stoop so low.

On the bright side, my brother is starting his own business and I'm gonna get to work with him starting next week. So I guess there is a ray of hope through all the clouds that surround my life. And I honestly think that I've come to the point in my life where I can actually succeed at something.

I dunno.... I get kinda overwhelmed by all of my failures sometimes. Everytime I go out or visit family, I am reminded, by there successes, how much of a failure I am.

Thanks for all the kind words RIUers.

I'd like to think If I wasn't born there would be a few less happy occasions in the world without my smoke

Well their you go the world wouldn't be better off without you, that would leave your child without a father and your parents brother and grandmother heartbroken this is the beginning of a new year make this your year a year you will remember as being a good successful one. You have already started on the journey ahead by starting a new job next week, keep this positive attitude and you will succeed 30 is still young and your family obviously love you and have supported you now it's time to make them proud and set a good example for your child it's all up to you now,but rest assured you are not a failure to your family we all make mistakes and sometimes follow the wrong path but it all comes right in the end. Good luck and let us know how you go with your job.

Let me ask you new souls.

What do you feel like when you see large bodies of water? What emotions does it give you? Study water my friends. Be water.

you are initially scared of change and growth, but you learn to embrace it. Water is always changing and forming differently.
