Be the hero of your children’s story. Never let them believe for a minute that honor, courage and doing what is right is only reserved for other fathers and mothers.
You will know you are in love when it doesn’t matter if you sit in heaven or hell with that special someone just as long as they can make you laugh, while you put out the fires.
Sometimes the truth is so deep that it takes someone with the same depth to see it, while others can’t see past the level they have never moved from.
The right man in your life will fly across the world to say hello, instead of saying goodbye.
Seek a man that doesn’t ask you to prove your love. Seek a man that will prove God’s love.
Quitters always believe the lies they tell themselves because delusion is easier to live with than the reality that they settled for an easier path.
Are we not all books waiting for someone to pick us up and read the pages that people missed?
When things don’t add up, either you don’t have a calculator or you forgot to use commonsense by simply asking.
Live is not about constantly fighting to keep someone in your life. It is about constantly fighting for a better life together.
Family and friends become oppressors the moment they teach you that loyalty is more important than what is done to people outside your social circle. What they are really saying is this: Save yourself because God is more interested in an intact family or social circle that looks righteous, rather than you being a person of integrity that has compassion for others. It is this absurdity that teaches the wrong version of God and creates the next generation of “me” centered individuals.
You can’t have the rainbow without the storm.
The cure is as simple as this: Live your words and live your belief system.
When you least expect it is when the person you always dreamt of will finally show up.
Sometimes your inability to let go has nothing to do with real love and everything to do with what that person represents in your life. Why do you give them so much importance? Why do you believe that God doesn’t love you enough that he would not bring someone else into your life? Why do you put up with less than you deserve?
No one would have guessed that the jagged pieces of our soul fit the puzzle in this box. We were considered the left over remnants that had no place, except the picture we wanted to create together.
It is a strange thing that the human species can only go three days without water and three weeks without food, before the body dies. Yet, so many people can go years hanging onto pain and feeling emotionally dead inside. I suppose if it was the other way around more people would go to school to be morticians because of the booming business, or pastors would have to hand out Valium with the sacrament, just to keep the census high.
The empty spaces of your soul are the ones you search for, pray for and want so desperately to be filled. They are also the spaces that will never be filled, until you are ready to do something you have never done.
Happy people can look back and say they chose their life, not settled for it.
Every journey taken always includes the path not taken, the detour through hell, the crossroads of indecision and the long way home.
When you invite people to share in your miracle, you create future allies during rough weather.
