Not Everything is Easy

"It's difficult to make someone happy, as it's easy to make someone sad.
It's hard to say I love you, as it's easy to say nothing.
It's difficult to appreciate love, as it's easy to lose it forever.
It's difficult to thank for today, as it's easy to live another day.
It's difficult to see what life brings of good, as it's easy to close your eyes and cross the street.
It's hard to convince yourself that you are happy, as it's easy to find that always it's missing something.
It's difficult to make someone smile, as it's easy to make someone cry.
It's hard to put yourself in someone else's place, as it's easy to look at your own navel.
If you made a mistake, apologize...
Is it difficult to apologizing? But who said it's easy to be forgiven?
If someone made a mistake with you, forgive him...
Is it hard to forgive? But who said it's easy to repent?
If you feel something, say it...
Is it hard to confess? But who said it's easy to find someone who wants to listen?
If someone complain about you, listen...
Is it difficult to hear certain things? But who said it's easy to listen to you?
If someone loves you, love him...
Is it difficult to give up? But who said it's easy to be happy?
Not everything is easy in life... But, of course, nothing is impossible.
We need to believe, have faith and fight,
not just for dreaming, but also to make all those desires become a reality!"
