During construction,
sometimes, a tearing down
is necessary before
a building up can occur.
In life, to attain a new level,
certain things are needful to
be torn down, like -
repressive beliefs and ideologies
past hurts and failures
doubts and fear of failure.
Patching can sometimes
hinder a total transformation
from taking place.

It is often said that you should help the needy
But did you know help is not limited to money
Some people just need someone to listen
Some need a reminder that they matter
You probably know someone who needs a hug
Or someone who needs to be shown some love
Some help can be given at little to no cost
Reach out to help someone today.

Every new day presents
new opportunities to
put a smile on somebody's face.
Little acts of kindness
can go a long way in
brightening
another person's day.
Make an effort each
and every day
to be an agent of hope
because what you do to others
will surely come back to you
in multiple folds.

...And this time
She didn't want him to fix her situation
She only needed him to listen carefully
To understand her feelings & emotions
without him trying to offer any solution

But his brain was like a search engine
Busy scanning and searching for answers
Thus, failing to make an emotional connection.

*******... She reached for the door
But he was wise enough to not let her go
Then he asked where he had gone wrong
With tears in her eyes, she said...
Empathy means more to her than a quick fix

And he totally agreed that he had flawed
He then listened intently to her, knodding
his head as she poured out her heart
And that night ended with a warmly hug
That's all she desired & she slept with a smile.
