To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded. (Source)
I’m not old enough to play baseball or football. I’m not eight yet. My mom told me when you start baseball, you aren’t going to be able to run that fast because you had an operation. I told Mom I wouldn’t need to run that fast. When I play baseball, I’ll just hit them out of the park. Then I’ll be able to walk. (Source)
I am so beautiful, sometimes people weep when they see me. And it has nothing to do with what I look like really, it is just that I gave myself the power to say that I am beautiful, and if I could do that, maybe there is hope for them too. And the great divide between the beautiful and the ugly will cease to be. Because we are all what we choose. (Source)
As I grew up, I’ve learnt that…
Even the person that wasn’t supposed to let you down, probably will.
You’ll have your heart broken, and you’ll break other’s too.
You’ll fight with your best friend.
You’ll cry because time is flying.
So take a lot of pictures, laugh too much, forgive and love like you have never been hurt. Life comes with no guarantees, no timeouts, no second chances, so live it to the fullest. Tell someone what they mean to you. Dance in the rain. Hold someone’s hand. Comfort a friend. Take chances. Fall in love. Live every moment… Because every moment you spend is a second of happiness that you will never get back!!

We are travelers on a cosmic journey, stardust, swirling and dancing in the eddies and whirlpools of infinity. Life is eternal. We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share. This is a precious moment. It is a little parenthesis in eternity.(Source)
Why do we start our days in the morning? No doubt we should feel fresh when we wake up so that we can make use of that day to its fullest, but why are mornings called the start of the day? The start of a successful day should rather be just before we go to bed. That’s actually when we plan for the next day, after we’re done with whatever we had to do for the day that just ended. We should actually look forward to the sleep and to the dreams we’d be seeing while asleep instead of looking forward to the morning. A sleep is where we can dream big, where we can plan about what to do the next morning, where we can decide what is it that we want done next. That way, when we wake up, not only will we be fresh, but we’d have a set goal for the day as well. We should not wake up to think about what to do, we should instead wake up to make our dreams a reality.

Love and relationships are never like the movies no matter how much we want them to be. But when something beautiful ends, for whatever reason, it’s most important not to be disappointed that it’s over, but glad that it happened at all. (Source)
I’m thinking that sometimes you just have to make the decision to be happy. Just realize that things aren’t ever what you hoped they’d be. Not ever. For anybody. The only thing that separates one kind of person from another is that there are some who stay angry about it and there are some who accept what comes their way. (Source)
