When all is said and done, everyone should be able to look back on their life and know that they made it exactly as they wanted it to be.
Love is not a purpose, it’s a paradox; it’s not an end-goal, it’s an auxiliary fuel source to help get there.
It is unwise to waste in thought what could be earned and secured in action.
Perhaps we don’t progress, because there are so many views – so many paths to peace and happiness – that we get hung up on each path’s differences. Trying to sort out right from wrong when the rights mean so much to us that we can’t look at them objectively.
Fear is for the powerless. Fear is for the alone. But as you stand together now, you are neither of those. Together, you amplify each other’s strengths; you nullify each other’s weaknesses.
Our unity will always be a greater force with mixed ideals than if we demand that others change for us, to what we believe.
Never give up on the possibilities or accept what is when you can see it for what it could be.
Like waking up in our home one night to find ourselves in a blazing fire, we must be arsonists of emotion, forcing ourselves to grab only what is truly important to us before our life-rafters collapse in on us and we can no longer escape alive.
Being an authority on paper does not immediately grant you authority over a group until it is earned by you and given by them.
Once you start settling, and letting others control your life, it can quickly become a habit, so it’s best to avoid such things altogether.
Change isn’t always comfortable, but it always teaches us something of utmost importance – usually about ourselves – and we become better people for it.
This day, you are free, because you have chosen to be free – and because of your choice, your days of insignificance are over.
They say you can’t change the past despite the fact it never stops changing you – but that doesn’t mean we have to sit back and take it. It may change us, but we have ultimate control over how we let it.
The power of an idea is never to be underestimated. Many a thought has survived long after its host has ceased to be. It is the power of an idea that no shield can defend against, nor sword divide, nor poison infect. As such, we must aspire to create ideas, rather than preserve life. In a sense, this is how we achieve true immortality and live on past our time.
We are but cells living in a much larger organism, however, this does not make our existence less significant – for an organism without cells is no organism at all. We define it; we make it what it is. We are responsible for its health, its functionality, and above all, its purpose. A lone cell can restore the others, or a lone cell can spread a plague.
All things are possible; if something seems like it’s not, it’s only because enough people aren’t being deceived into the possibilities yet.
Our destinations are Booleans – we reach them or we don’t – but our journeys are spectrums, because there are so many paths we can take to our destination that make getting there that much better.
The path of destiny is not always paved smooth with gold.
If something needs to be done, do it. If something needs to be said, say it.
The strong will always rule the weak.
