♦ If a person close to you has pain in his heart and emptiness in his soul...

People tend to make mistakes
People tend to hurt themselves
Bare heart on a bare stone,
And then the wound remains -
A heavy scar remains
And not a bit of love. Not a gram.
A man freezes in silence
People are starting to run away
And icy wolf melancholy
In the middle of the night he knocks.
He won't fall asleep again until dawn,
He will crumple cigarettes in his fingers.
There's no point in waiting for an answer
To made up questions.
He won't say a word now
He is all in distant thoughts somewhere.
Don't judge him harshly
Don't blame him for this.
Don’t be overly invigorated in front of him,
Don't teach him patience -
All examples you know
They will be forgotten, unfortunately.
He went deaf from extreme pain,
From furry animal misfortune.
He is sad - gray with salt -
I met you on a long road.
He's frozen. Forever? Who knows!
And there seems to be no way out
But one day he too will thaw,
As nature told him.
Gradually, changing colors,
Imperceptibly changing rhythms,
From the cold season of January
In the blue weather of May.
You see - snakes change their skin,
You see, the bird changes its feathers.
It's happiness that pain can't
It always nests in a person.
He will wake up early one day
Knead the silence like dough.
Where the wound used to hurt,
It will just be a smooth place.
And then through the city to summer,
Running along the main street,
The man will smile at the light
And hug him like an equal. (Sergey Ostrovoy)

And finally, a few more good thoughts, quotes, advice about life and about life:

♦ “The essence of this lifestyle is not to build endless imaginary alternative scenarios of events happening to us and not to produce endless “could have been...”, “if only it was”, “it’s a pity that it’s not” and “it would be more correct” "Instead, we should try to get maximum pleasure from what we have here and now." Writer Vladimir Yakovlev

♦ “When you feel bad, find someone who is even worse and help him. You will feel better.” How simple it sounds! But why go and help someone if I feel bad?
My wife left me, my children forgot, I was kicked out of work - my life is falling apart! Everything is bad. But if you find a person who needs your help, if he is worse off than you, your adversity will move aside. By dealing with the pain and problems of another person, you switch and forget about your difficulties and adversities.
Remember: negative emotions accumulate, positive ones do not. Helping someone else gives you positive emotions. You helped, you see: your help was needed. You were able to, you took part in someone else's fate. When you feel bad, find someone who is even worse and help him - you will feel better.

♦ "Live in the present and use it to shape your future to your liking. If you don't change now, the future won't get better. If you are passive and inactive, who will help you? Ultimately, everything depends on you. If circumstances do not spoil you, do not give up, but plan, plan and plan again. Do everything in your power, and luck will come to you - it comes to everyone, to everyone who wants it. This is the law of life. And also, do not delay for tomorrow what you can do today. God help you"

♦ “The past is already over, this thought must be accepted. There is only the present and also the future, which we are creating now. Therefore, the past must be understood, accepted and forgiven. Let go of your past from the present back to the past, that’s where it belongs” Psychologist Andrei Kurpatov (Bestseller “Happy of my own free will”)

♦ “Just retire and list everything you have, what you believe, remember everyone you loved and love. And remember that above your head there is always a huge endless sky and the sun, however, sometimes it is hidden from us by clouds, but this is temporary, and it is still there, even if it is not visible now. Think about what you have, and then you will understand what you need." Psychologist Andrei Kurpatov (Bestseller “Happy of my own free will”)

♦ “Perhaps you demand from life that your desires be fulfilled? But these demands are also absurd, we can only rely on ourselves and do what depends on us, and the result is always a confluence of many circumstances, the demands here are meaningless. And finally ", the third area where your demands can lead to unnecessary problems: maybe you are very demanding of yourself? You need to rely on yourself, not demand" Psychologist Andrei Kurpatov (Bestseller “Happy of my own free will”)

♦ "Remember - fear loves those who look into the future, instead of relying on the present. Fear loves those who feed on dreams, instead of doing what he can do under the conditions that exist at the moment. So "Don't wait for the situation to change, then you will no longer be able to do what you can do now. If you constantly behave like this, then you will never, I emphasize, never really do anything!" Psychologist Andrey Kurpatov

♦ "We are all human, and bad things happen to people. When something bad happens to you, it only proves that you are alive, because as long as you live, bad things will happen to you. Stop thinking that you are the chosen one, to whom nothing bad can happen. Such people do not exist, and even if they did exist, who would want to communicate with them? They would be so boring. What would you talk to them about? How wonderful everything is in their life? And Wouldn't you like to hit them?"

♦ “Learn to downplay rather than exaggerate your problems. For our psyche, which itself does not understand anything about this matter, it is better to hear that the problem is trivial than gigantic. And instead of thinking: “My life has no meaning,” think, that your problems are deprived of it. If we can so easily devalue our own lives, then why don’t we redirect our accusatory sting and devalue the problems that devalue our lives?.."

♦ “Not only does life affect you, but you also affect life. So consider that you were just dealt bad cards. It happens. Take the cards, shuffle them and deal them to yourself. It’s your responsibility. Don’t wait. Don’t whine. "Good things don't just happen. You have to make them happen. Think about how you can start living the life you've always wanted. If there aren't many bad things happening in your life, then there's not much happening at all." Larry Winget ("Stop whining, keep your head up!")

♦ “This is a variant of the famous formula that the doctor Emile Coue developed for his patients: “EVERY DAY, ALWAYS AND IN EVERYTHING, MY THINGS ARE GOING BETTER AND BETTER.” Repeat this phrase out loud fifty times in the morning and evening, and throughout the day - as much as you can. The more often you repeat it, the stronger its influence on you will be." Mark Fisher ("The Millionaire's Secret")

♦ “Never forget that life is an opportunity. This thesis may seem like a philosophical delight, but it really is. When one thing doesn’t work out for us, something else will definitely work out. As the song sang, “I’m unlucky in death, will be lucky in love." On all fronts without exception, life never loses. And wisdom consists in always being on the front on which the troops are going on the offensive. The ability to switch is a great and necessary skill for us. If somewhere or in "If you're chronically unlucky with something, do something else. You won't notice how life is getting better on the front you left!" Psychologist Andrey Kurpatov (“5 saving steps from depression”)

♦ Don't forget about family. Parents are the only people who love you unconditionally, simply because you exist. Communicate with them more often - it will not only give you energy for life and work. When dear people leave this world, they will live on in your memories. Let there be more of these memories.

♦ Complaining about life is a waste of time. Build a conversation constructively, talk about something interesting. Your problems are not interesting to others, and receiving useful information during a conversation is much more valuable than meager words of sympathy.

♦ There is enough grief in the world; don't exaggerate it. If you can, BE KIND, and you can't, or are going through a hard time, then at least try not to be a complete jerk.

♦ Life is an unknown road, immeasurable length. Some travelers take a long time, while others take a short time. God only knows the length of the road, sending us on our worldly journey, and the person walking does not know the duration of his earthly life.

♦ Remember - everything passes and is constantly changing. What seems important now may turn out to be meaningless after a while. Stop focusing on problems, do something useful.

♦ “You can wait until things calm down. When the kids get older, work becomes calmer, the economy picks up, the weather gets better, your back stops hurting...
The fact is that people who are different from you and me never wait for the time to come. They know this will never happen.
Instead, they take risks and begin to act, even when they have no sleep, they have no money, they are hungry, their house is not cleaned, and it is snowing in the yard. Whenever this happens. Because the time comes every day." Seth Godin

♦ Eventually computers break, people die, relationships fail... The best thing we can do is take a deep breath and reboot.

No matter how bad life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at. As long as there is life, there is hope." Stephen Hawking (brilliant physicist)
