Thank you guys!

Intro information can be found here: 
Praising Life ProjectWelcome to the Praising Life Project

It's really hard for anyone to stay positive all the time. I definitely agree with that.
However, when things go wrong, it's so easy to forget how much you've been blessed. It's amazing that we have the internet, people who care, and hope...
Although there is a lot of bad in this world, there is also beautiful joy and countless things to appreciate. :love:
And that makes me praise life.
The memories, the laughter, the joy, the hugs through hard times.
In this life, we only have one chance! I think one of our life purposes is to spread love throughout this world and leave it in better shape than before we were here. 

It would be much appreciated if you help spread the word! (:+fav: & Comment!)

KaineKamui"I Will See:
The sun falls
Night it rises
But I will see sunlight again
The clouds darken
Rain begins to pour
But I will see blue skies again
Hopes shatter
Despair grips
But I will see my dreams again
I will fall
Fall like there's no end
But I will see myself rise again
I will see myself someday
As everything I've wanted to be
I will see.

Tartelii "Life has its ups and downs, 
The best part of life would be for me when you can face the problems and even though there doesn't seem like there is a way back up at the time continue to see it through instead of giving up and making it back up. That is the best feeling for me, even if I'm scared or uncertain, to see something through when I said I would do it is amazing :D (Big Grin)"

Resonance21 "The best part of life is simply being alive~ To wake up each morning and feel the warmth of the sun on your face and the breath in your lungs. To stand on your own two feet and face the day with a smile. Life has not always been easy for me, and there have been many times the doctors told me I should not have lived this long, so I am careful to appreciate the beauty and majesty of creation every day.

I love to feel the rain on my skin on a warm summer night, the pleasant tingle of a first kiss on my lips when I fall in love. Every sunrise, every sunset is a gift. We all get so wrapped up in the busy-ness and hardships in life, it can often be hard to find the beauty in every moment.

I feel I have been given a rare opportunity to see the world through eyes that are never sure when they will close for the final time. I drink life in with a thirst that I can never quench. I try to make the best of every day, treat others with as much respect and love as we all deserve and make the world a better place one day at a time.

My main goal is to leave this world in better shape than I found it. I love projects like this for that very reason. Thank you for doing this! It's an honor to be a part of something like this Heart "

linneaphoto "Me and my life have a bit of a love-hate relationship. There are many things about my life I can't stand but there are many things about life itself that I love and I'm happy to be alive. What ultimately makes life worth living despite all the downs I've had in my life are those things I love the most and what I'm passionate about. My family, fiancé included, mean the world to me and I never want to part with any of them. My passions for animals, photography and nature is what brings meaning to my life other than being with my family. There's something about animals that just fills my heart with joyous love, much like euphoria, and thanks to the medium of photography I'm able to share this passion with the rest of the world."

Camyza "The best of life for me is the friends I make.  Even though some drift away, there are always those who I am close to that I can share my troubles and joys.  Having someone to talk to that will give an honest opinion/advice has been an incredible experience for me.  Then, there are those who have helped me big time along the way by deciding on what to do and what not to do while few may not give the best advice.  The biggest one getting me interested in a animation series that led me to making sites.  From there, my love of creating and designing sites that I wanted to do it for a living.  I love creating the appearance of a site and interfaces that varies from applications to simple profiles in video games and apps on mobile.   It doesn't matter how many friends you have.  Even one is incredible to know that they're for you like another family."

Hazelstar67 "The best part of life is the mystery. No one knows what lies ahead, we only know whats in the now. To me, nothing compares to the thought that you never know what is coming up next. Any day could be the best day ever, if you only open your mind and let it happen. ^-^"

fav.me/d3jsaql <-- absolutely stunning piece of art, the concept is great and conveyed beautifully
"Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself." -George Bernard Shaw
Sometimes we feel lost in life and desperately search for a direction to turn to; in reality, we don't need to go anywhere, we can live our lives right where we stand and build our own castles from the ground. C:
Even in the harshest deserts life finds a way to flourish, so hey, who says we cant? Well, time to prove them wrong! :]
We all live our own lives, and that is the best part! :>
also the castle-building was totally not a reference to frozen //coughcough elsa and her ice castles XD
random thoughts, sorry if they don't really piece together >n<"




CalicoNorth "The best part of life is getting to live it. Sometimes it's rough and messy and makes you feel like you want to either take a long hot shower or dig your own grave and lay in it, but it also is full of magic and hope like first kisses and your favorite song and getting to pet a cat. I guess, for me, it's the challenge of life itself that makes it so much fun, but also difficult, but at the same time exciting. =D (Big Grin)"

kraxchet "I think the best part of living is getting the chance to live at all after all we've done in sin and greed."

AlexanderPaupoff "The best part of life is conveniently always yet to come, so it can be quite elusive.
However, I find that quiet cup of afternoon tea while watching the clouds drift by to come remarkably close Tea"

ethereal-dancer "I believe the best part about life is the good things! It is so rewarding and refreshing to see the good things in life! Whenever I'm in a bad spot I've made a habit of finding the good things and it always lifts my spirits a little :) (Smile)"

Coughing-Corpse
"Life may seem hard at some points but also amazing at some points. But thats the point of live. How would you know if you're having a good day when you've never had a bad one. Think of it as life would just be boring, yes being happy all the time and a wonderful day everyday seems like absolute heaven. But if you think about, that would just get boring after awhile, because you wouldn't learn lessons to help you get through life. So again think of bad days, as a day you learned a lesson. For example, lets say a family pet died, yes you'd be upset but that helps you get stronger for the harder times. So basically what I'm try to say is, we all have bad days, so we can appreciate when we have good ones. Just remember to stay strong even when it gets tough. Thats best advice I can give...just stay strong and you can accomplish a whole lot more then you could've thought possible. "

AppleLily "The Best thing about life, is LOVE... (well to me), it's the easiest and yet the hardest to cope with... comprises of both negative and positive emotions, ups and downs, smiles and frown.... life wouldnt be life without it... friends, family, spouse and pets (all of the animal kingdom really)...
"Live, Laugh and Love"...."
xXEclipseTheCatXx "
I have a quote from a very wonderful movie I'd like to share, "The greater the struggle, the more glorious the triumph." It's one of my favorite quotes in life so far, as it really hits home to everyone, no matter who you are. Everyone has their struggles, but everyone also has their achievements.
fav.me/d7o0m7l"

mondscheinsonate "Life is great, because it has created everything we know and so much more. It has shaped you and me and everyone around you, and has thus created so much variety. I adore that.
Life isn't necessarily good or bad, it can even be both at the same time. But the important thing is what you decide to do with your life.
Life has brought you here, and I hope it continues to take you wherever you wish to go. :) "

MissTicci "Life is both good and bad, it may seem painful and lonely and it may seem cheerful! But, the best thing about life is having it. The people in your life too! Both co-workers, friends and family. "

RogueMudblood "I write a lot of dark things. I write some horror stories, and I admit that I make some very cynical observations about life in general, and some aspects of it in particular. For me, life is a challenge every day. I don't want to share the particulars (no offense), but even with my disadvantages, life is a brilliant and wondrous thing.

Life can be difficult, but that's perfectly all right. That's why we have art - to vent our frustrations in a healthy way. Life is about expression. It's about sharing and caring - even when we don't understand."

SilverTurtles "I think life is worth it in many ways that we cant understand."

Shironaii "Life is full of both good and bad, for sure, but hanging on for the ride is the best part! It may feel hopeless and painful at times, but there will always be another side to that, and another happy day to come- you just have to wait for it."

Sabbelbina "Life can be full of bad things and work. One thing I saw when I made my first comment at this jounal was, that life can be everything. There are good and bad parts. Here I've found some of the good ones. A journal that makes me smile again. At the moment I've much work and less time than ever and my thoughts are often very sad or angry, but time will heal the wounds and help me to let the bad feelings go. That's what I praise."

Candyfied "I find that too many people are trying to suicide and having negative thoughts, where did all this go wrong? I think people need to find a hobby to keep them happy (like creating art La la la la). Creating something you love and labouring on it for quite some time will remind people that perhaps, the best part of life is doing simple things."

PainbowCrash "I think the best part of life is finding things that make you happy! :) (Smile)"

JoyoteTheCoyote "I think the best part of life is having a life at all. You're lucky to be here, you're a gentic winner, you were the tiny sperm in your mother's womb who won that huge, life-changing, life-BRINGING race. You managed to survive when you were conceived, you managed to re-arrange your blood and breathe so you could start up your body for the life ahead of it. You're the one who accepted to eat, drink, put on clothes and survive in general to get to this point. So don't give up now. You're your own miracle in your own way, and think of it that everything can be achieved if you work for it.

Everything."

Amarantheans "You should always be thankful of the time you spend with your family and friends because you never know when it will be your last chance!"

skullabaez "You should cherish every single day because you never know if it'll be the day someone discovers an actual unicorn c:"

tanasha67 "Find what's yours and make it magical!
Glowing Fairy by Lolita-Artz

To be a two sided coin is to live Life...
This photo has inspired me to a quote: Shadows are beautiful by tanasha67
            "Even shadows are beautiful, in the right light."
                                                                          N.G.V.R.

For me, this photo represents all of the good and beautiful things in Life. When you have survived some of Life's hard challenges, you become deeper and more beautiful - like the shadows in my photo! :) (Smile)
So keep your head up, even when have a hard time - it makes your soul shine...
Heart"

Saptarshi-Nath "It's amazing to see what a positive comment or feedback can do to an artist! It doesn't hurt to give, but you can get happiness in return"

TheOtherKilroy "God loves you more than you know. Remember that the things that make you smile are blessings in disguise."

leiyue "Every sunrise brings new hope! Tomorrow is a new day and you can make anything out of it. Love"

Kmacmcglikesart "fav.me/d7rs27x  Keep calm and carry on. Everything will be alright, just hang on :) (Smile)"

Windklang "Two things: Give every day the chance to become the best day of your life - It has the potential!
and second - it is my personal motto:
I will leave this world a tiny little bit better than I entered it."

LivelovelifeEleni "The whole reason I created my da account centres on my wanting to help others see the beauty in life and give a little hope and happiness. Life is a truly precious gift
 Everyday is. I'm just really happy to see all this positivity and people appreciating life on here!! Just in general, life is what gets me up. All the good stuff about it.even though there is bad in the world..the good is what keeps us going and there are tooany things to list that help make life truly worth it because it is!! I'm a Motivational Speaker and this is literally one of my purposes. Advocating in showing others the beauty of life! You can find I spiration anywhere and everywhere even in the darkest corners!! You can always find some sort of light even if its not there asap.<3 there is always hope
 Life is beautiful"

MaggiefromSpace "Sometimes the smallest things can make me ridiculously happy - little moments that always take me by surprise. And then there's the big thing, the knowledge to be a part of this biosphere and a cousin to all known lifeforms, each a preciosity."

OnTheMountainTop "Never give up. If you don't try, you fail by default."

Talexior "I find that in life, things can always come to you in ways you did not expect. Your journey can be tougher than what you thought or take you down ways you did not foresee. 
When and if this happens, I find that hope is something you can always hold on to and believe in. Hope that you will make it through, hope that you will grow, hope to not give up.
Such as sadness and hardship comes, so does happiness and love. Live for this. For the good and the bad. For the experience and mystery, for all that is to come.
Life is exciting, isn't it?"

moon-rabb1t "Life is a very interesting thing, it has it's ups and downs.
Its joys,
Its sadness.
Its creation,
Its destruction.
But most of all, life is an experience. It's something where everyone's life can be similar, or vastly different, and with each life there's so much uniqueness in it. There's never real wrong or right guideline for it, which makes it even more enjoyable."

lykosonette "I've been through depression.. almost killing myself once by hanging, overdosing another time, so this project is amazing <3
~Lykos"

cyanoscarlet happiness is in five-minute catnaps on the desk that end up becoming a full night's rest. (not sleep, because it's for the weak.)
"happiness is in the butterflies in your stomach as you (don't) await the scores for tests you pulled all-nighters for, yet remembered nothing about. 

happiness is in the times anxiety turns into relief when you learn that you passed, after all. (just barely, but better than the alternative.)

happiness is in getting over your nerves in presenting clinical cases and demonstrating a physical examination, hoping you know exactly what you are doing.

happiness is in getting to know various people in the ward, in touching their lives and making them whole again. (it's actually more fulfilling than tiring, you come to realize, despite all your complaining in between.)

happiness is in returning home as exhausted as ever, knowing there is much work to do, and little time to rest.

happiness is the smile that unconsciously graces your gaunt face as you dream transient dreams you will hardly remember the next morning. (they do say that to realize your dream, you must first wake up.)

happiness is in the journey, the vocation, the great satisfaction despite the great sacrifice, because life is worth living, and you wouldn't have it any other way."

"It's not going to be easy, but if you trust in Him, it'll all be worth it. Celebrate life. Be inspired. Inspire others. Give thanks for blessings and for beauty. Llive the life only you can live. See what only you can see; do what only you can do. God has given you this gift of life. Don't blow it."

 The Original Artist: Praising Life Project

And this is a song by Superchick called "This is the Time"

This is the story of your life
A movie starring you
What's the next scene have for you to do?
Leave the dishes in the sink
Leave your fear there too
Live the story you would write for you

Say hey hey wake your heart
And break break break apart
The walls that keep you from being you
And walk walk towards the light
And don't stop till you live your life
Like someone died for you

This is the time to try
Step out your life is waiting
And as you fall you'll find
That you can fly

This is the time to try
Step out your life is waiting
And as you fall you'll find
That you can fly

You can find a million words
To build a wall of fear
Safe behind that wall imprisoned here
Take that someday step today
To who you're meant to be
And turn your dreams to plans
So you can breathe

Say hey hey wake your heart
And break break break apart
The walls that keep you from being you
And walk walk towards the light
And don't stop till you live your life
Like someone died for you

This is the time to try
Step out your life is waiting
And as you fall you'll find
That you can fly

Ask anyone whose time is up
What they'd give for what you've got
And how they'd live your life
Live like your life's worth dying for
You've just walked out that prison door
And you'll know how to live your life

This is the time to try
Step out your life is waiting
And as you fall you'll find
That you can fly

This is the time to try
Step out your life is waiting
And as you fall you'll find
That you can fly
