Whether you believe in God or not, you have a purpose, and life is much easier and happier when you think of yourself as a holy vessel who deserves to thrive. When you study the global ecosystem, the whole biosphere, you see how closely all living things are connected: Each organism has a vital role to play in the web of life, and you realize just how valuable you really are.

You have a right and a duty to love and accept yourself in a healthy and unselfish way so that you can shine and be what Nature wanted you to be. God, or Nature, or the cosmic force, wants you to live! That’s why you were programmed with a strong life force and a self preservation instinct.

It is profoundly tragic that so many people are committing suicide because their life force has been sucked out of them by bullies. Kids are too young to know that life doesn’t always have to be a stormy nightmare. It can just as easily be a sunny, beautiful experience when you don’t give up and you stick around and wait for the sun to come out.

For every sick bully who tells you to kill yourself, there will be at least one other person who will think the world of you and will want you to live at all costs. For every sick bully who asks you why you’re still alive, there will be at least one other person who will treasure you and your life. Don’t give up!

The twelve-year-old Florida girl who recently jumped to her death did not deserve the horrendous bullying that made her give up on life. It doesn’t matter what your enemies tell you. When you listen to your heart, you learn to totally love and accept yourself and shine like a star. The world needs your light. Don’t give up!
