When You Believe

There are two ways to live: to live as if nothing is a miracle or to live as if everything is a miracle.

The miracle of the seed and the soil is not available by affirmation but is only available by labor.

I have found in life that if we want a miracle we first need to do whatever it is we can do - if that's to plant, then plant it; if it is to read, then read it; if it is to change, then change it; if it is to study, then study; if it is to work, then work; whatever we have to do. And then we will be well on our way of doing the labor that works miracles.

Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see.

WHEN YOU BELIEVE - Mariah Carey & Whithney Houston

Many nights we've prayed
With no proof anyone could hear
In our hearts a hopeful song
We barely understood
Now we are not afraid
Although we know there's much to fear
We were moving mountains
Long before we knew we could

Chorus:
There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will, (Now you will (3rd Chorus through))
You will when you believe

In this time of fear
When prayer so often proves in vain
Hope seemed like the summer birds
Too swiftly flown away
Yet now I'm standing here
My heart's so full, I can't explain
Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought I'd say

Chorus

So in times when all your hope is gone
And you go through life afraid
In your heart there lies a hopeful song
That is there to guide the way
And all the hurt and all the pain
You soon will learn was not in vain
For all your prayers, they will be heard
They'll come to pass through faith

Chorus

I Have Nothing

Being in love, it makes us so vulnerable. It opens our chest and opens up our heart to allow someone get inside us and mess us up. We build up all defenses, build up a whole suit of armor so that nothing can hurt us but love takes hostages. It gets inside of us and leaves us crying in the darkness ... ... It hurts. Not just in the imagination, not just in the mind but it's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain ... ...

The truth may hurt for a little while but a lie hurts forever ... ...

"Dance as though no one is watching you. Love as though you have never been hurt before. Sing as though no one can hear you. Live as though heaven is on earth."

I HAVE NOTHING - Whitney Houston

Share my life, take me for what I am
Coz I'll never change all my colors for you
Take my love, I'll never ask for too much
Just all that you are and everything that you do

I don't really need to look very much further
I don't want to have to go where you don't follow
I won't hold it back again, this passion inside
Can't run from myself
There's nowhere to hide

Well, don't make me close one more door
I don't wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Or must I imagine you there
Don't walk away from me...
I have nothing, nothing, nothing
If I don't have you, you, you, you, you, you...

You see through, right to the heart of me
You break down my walls with the strength of your love mmmmm...
I never knew love like I've known it with you
Will a memory survive, one I can hold on to

I don't really need to look very much further
I don't want to have to go where you don't follow
I won't hold it back again, this passion inside
I Can't run from myself
There's nowhere to hide
Your love I'll remember, forever

Don't make me close one more door
I don't wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Or must I imagine you there
Don't walk away from me...
I have nothing, nothing, nothing...

Well,don't make me close one more door
I don't wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Or must I imagine you there
Don't walk away from me no...
Don't walk away from me
Don't you dare walk away from me
I have nothing, nothing, nothing
If I don't have you, you
ooohhh, ooooh
if i don't have you, oohh...

I Will Always Love You

I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU - Whitney Houston

If I should stay
I would only be in your way
So I'll go but I know
I'll think of you every step of the way

And I... will always love you, oohh
Will always love you
You my darling you
Mmm-mm

Bittersweet memories
That is all I'm taking with me
So good-bye please don't cry
We both know I'm not what you you need

And I... will always love you
I... will always love you
You, ooh

I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you've dreamed of
And I wish you joy and happiness
But above all this I wish you love

And I... will always love you
I... will always love you

I, I will always love you....
You darling I love you
I'll always
I'll always
Love you..
Oooh
Ooohhh

The Greatest Love of All

Spending our time searching and waiting to be loved, hoping that special love will find us one day. Feeling empty and lost without it, wanting someone to give us love and fill us up. Sadly to say, that’s not how life works. We will draw exactly what we create in life, and what we believe we are worthy of.

Personally, I like the illustration by Leslie Karen Lobell, M.A. in her blog - The Art of Loving. Our life is like a vessel, if we keep giving to others without giving to ourselves, it is like pouring water from a vessel and eventually, the vessel will be empty if we keep pouring and pouring without ever refilling it.

Used to think that by giving endlessly all we have is a way to show love, kindness and unselfishness. However, that's not true as it should be giving out from our surplus. Is only when we are overflow and that's when we will have the energy and love to give to the people who we love around us and to the world.

"We have to learn to be our own best friends because we fall too easily into the trap of being our own worst enemies." ~Roderick Thorp, Rainbow Drive

"Greatest Love of All" is an inspirational song beautifully delivered tribute to love ourselves for who we are written by Michael Masser and Linda Creed. The song was the fourth and final single released in April, 1986 from Whitney Houston's.




THE GREATEST LOVE OF ALL - Whitney Houston

I believe the children are our are future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
Everybody searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone to fulfill my needs
A lonely place to be
So I learned to depend on me

I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all

I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be

And if by chance, that special place
That you've been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love

When The Last Teardrop Falls

We dont realize we love someone untill they have gone from our sight. As I listen to the song, my heart is aching and tears falls down like rain ... ... as it sings right from my heart.

I love you for who you are and how you make me feel. Eventhough our love is short but is amazing that it grows so deep inside me. I asked, "What makes you love me?" and you said, "There's no reason for it and I love you as a whole package". It touches me for what you said and I fell in love with you who willing to accept and love me for who I am.

WHEN THE LAST TEARDROP FALLS - Blaque

It's so hard to lose the one you love
To finally have to say goodbye
You try to be strong but the pain keeps holdin' on
And all that you can do is cry
Deep within your heart you know it's time to move on
When the fairy tale that you once knew is gone

When the last tear drop falls
I'll still be holdin' on to all of our memories
And all of what used to be
When the last tear drop falls
I will stand tall
And know that you're here with me in my heart
When the last tear drop falls

So now I'm alone and life keeps movin' on
But my destination still unknown, oh yeah
Will there be a time when I'll fall in love again?
When I was meant to walk these streets alone
If there was just one wish I could be granted here tonight
It would be to have you right back by my side

Now it's time for me to find my happiness again
And the emptiness from missin' you
Will never ever end, baby

Because You Loved Me

"Because You Loved Me" is a hit song from Celine Dion's album "Falling Into You" which released as the first single on February 19, 1996 in North America and Japan.

It was written by Diane Warren as a tribute to her father for his encouragement and was featured in this romance film - Up! Close & Personal directed by Jon Avnet (released on March 1996).

Love this song, especially the lyrics which touches my heart.

BECAUSE YOU LOVED ME - Celine Dion 

For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful baby
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through through it all

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
