Thought and Memory, my ravens, fly every day the whole world over. Each day I fear that Thought might not return, but I fear more for Memory.
Why do we close our eyes when we pray, when we cry, when we dream, when we kiss because the most beautiful things in our life are not seen but only felt by heart.
No matter how good or bad you think life is, wake up each day and be thankful for life. Someone somewhere else is fighting to survive.
It came to me that every time I lose a dog they take a piece of my heart with them. And every new dog who comes into my life, gifts me with a piece of their heart. If I live long enough, all the components of my heart will be dog, and I will become as generous and loving as they are.
The beautiful thing about life is that you can always change, grow and get better. You aren’t defined by your past. You aren’t your mistakes.
Stop beating yourself up. You are a work in progress; which means you get there a little at a time, not all at once.
The older you get, the more you choose calm over chaos and distance over disrespect. Drama becomes intolerable to you and your peace becomes your ultimate priority. You start surrounding yourself with people who are good for your mental health, heart and soul.
We don’t know what tomorrow will bring. So don’t stay mad for too long. Learn to forgive and love with all your heart. Don’t worry about the people who don’t like you. Enjoy the ones who love you.
Never give up. You can be grinding for 4 years with no results, and on the 5th year become the biggest thing on the planet. The power of never giving up is real.
Laugh when you can, apologize when you should and let go of what you can’t change. Kiss slowly, play hard, forgive quickly, take chances, give everything, and have no regrets. Life is too short to be anything but happy.
It will hurt. It will take time. It will require dedication. It will require willpower. It will require sacrifice. You will need to make healthy decisions. You will need to push your body to its max. There will be temptation. But, I promise you, when you reach your goal, it’s worth it.
Monsters don’t sleep under the bed, they scream inside your head.
If you text me first you make my day, but if I text first I feel like I’m annoying.
Do not be afraid to stand for what you believe in, even if that means standing alone.
No longer will I allow the negative things in my life to spoil all of the good things I have. I will choose to be happy.
Thank God for what you have. Trust Him for what you need.
Count your blessings. Practice kindness. Let go of what you can’t control. Listen to your heart. Be productive, yet calm. Just breathe.
Don’t be afraid of losing people. Be afraid of losing yourself by trying to please everyone around you.
The mark of a mature man is a certain scar he bears: the memory of a perfect woman never won, or of a once-true love forever lost. However much he may love you, he is only here because she is not.
Life is like a camera. Just focus on what’s important. Capture the good times. Develop from the negatives and if things don’t turn out – just take another shot.
