• 9 yr old daniel cabrera’s father died in prison, his mother makes $1.77 a day n their house burned down but he still uses the light from the local McDonald’s to do his homework every night. A photo of him went viral n ppl donated cash, school supplies n even a college scholarship.
• I am bored is a useless thing to say. U live in a great, big vast world that u have seen 0.1% of. So u shd never hav nothing to do. Learn sth, go somewhere, think abt all amazing possibilities , so u don’t get to say , ï am bored
• U do not need to know precisely what is happening, or exactly where it is all going. What u need is to recognize the possibilities n challenges offered by the present moment n to embrace them vth faith, courage n hope.
• Most of our problems in life vld disappear if we stopped talking abt each other n started talking to each other. - Build a bridge, not a wall

• Never forget those who helped u up.
• Note to self: u don’t want to do the right thing in the wrong way.
• You are not for everyone: the world is filled vth ppl who, no matter what u do, vll point blank not like u. But it is also filled vth those who vll love u fiercely. They r ur ppl. U r not for everyone n that’s ok. Talk to the ppl who can hear u.         Don’t waste ur precious time n gifts trying to convince them of ur value. They won’t ever want what u r selling. Don’t convince them to walk alongside u. U vll be wasting both ur time n theirs n vll likely inflict unnecessary wounds, vch vll take precious time to heal. U r not for them n they r not for u, politely wave them on, and continue along ur way. Sharing ur path vth someone is a sacred gift; don’t cheapen this gift by rolling urs in wrong direction.
• Some ppl r old at 18 n some r young at 90… time is a concept that is not bound by age.
• We all begin n end in the same place. Love each other along the way.

2 rules to limit stress and anxiety

• Never judge the moment (When we judge the moment we stop a curse from turning into a blessing and often don't anticipate that a blessing can turn into a curse. Know that if you don't judge you can grow more )
• Never forget rule 1 even when things are bad

• The most beautiful moments in life are seeing a smile on a person’s face and knowing that you have contributed to his/her happiness.
• Life has taught me that you can’t control someone’s loyalty.; No matter how good you are to them, doesn’t mean they’ll treat you the same. No matter how much they mean to you, doesn’t mean they’ll value the same. Sometimes the people you love the most, turn out to be the people you can trust the least.
• Clarify your purpose; what is the why behind everything u do? When we know this in life or design it is very empowering and the path is clear.
• One  of the most expensive things u could ever do is pay attention to the wrong people
• Love doesn’t hurt. Rejection hurts. Abuse, being ignored, complacency and indifference hurt.

Stop talking to your exs

• Hoping they will change
• Thinking it might work out the next time around
• When u miss them
• When u r lonely; learn the difference b/w being lonely and being alone
• Just coz u feel like no one else will ever love u . your feelings are a direct result of their inability to love you fully.
• Even when u know they have moved on
• When u know they r not gud for u
• Stop giving  people who hurt u a million n once chances. After one or 2 chances  n no change. They are not going to.
• Stop using “ they were my everything     “ as an excuse to not come to terms with what is now.

• I was told a long time ago ; it gets easier ; they are wrong ; it does not; it never gets easier; we only ever get stronger; i just thought u ought to know; oh n tk u
• He said there are only 2 days in the year that nothing can be done. One is called yesterday n the other is called tomorrow, so today is the right day to love, believe, do and mostly live.
• IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOU WANT;  Experience with people n their uncertainty has taught me that  when i hear “ i don’t know what i want” it’s best give that person space. Sometimes, this means ending the relationship n letting the person figure out what they DO want without hurting me in  the process; without me trying to force my worth down their throat to “make them see”. I refuse to let anyone’s uncertainty make me feel UNCERTAIN about myself. I don’t want to grow attached to someone who isn’t trying to figure themselves out because if someone can confuse you, they can manipulate and use you. Horacio Jones  # I am the love of my life     
• The best kind of people are the ones that come into your life, n  make u see the sun where u once saw clouds, the people that believed in you so much, you start to believe in YOU too. The people that love u , simply for being YOU. the once in a lifetime kind of people.

• Forgive anyone who caused you  pain or harm; keep in mind that forgiving is not for others. It is for you. Forgiving is not forgetting. It is remembering without anger. It frees up your power, heals your body, mind and spirit. Forgiveness opens up a pathway to a new place of peace where you can persist despite what has happened to you.
• Walk towards the good in life and one day you will arrive.
• I gave wrong people the right pieces of me
• Relationships are harder now; bcoz conversations became texting, arguments became phone calls, feelings became subliminal messages, sex became easy, the word “love” is used out of context, insecurities became a way of thinking, getting jealous became a habit, trust is hard to come by, being hurt became natural and leaving became the only option. Sad but true, so if you have something that’s worth it, don’t take it for granted, fight for it and don’t let it go.
• I am learning to love the sound of my feet walking away from the things not meant for me.

Stop allowing someone from your past control your present

• I once read a quote by Mary oliver somewhere, n now i think of it when  i am thinking about past relationships
• Someone i loved once gave me a box full of darkness, it took me years to understand that this too, was a gift
• You have been through darkness and you will be stronger for it. You are important. You are capable of loving n being loved. U deserve great things. U r enuf , it’s time to move on. U can do it.

• Whatever the present moment contains, embrace it as if u had chosen it yourself
• Whatever we think about and thank about we bring about
• There is a story behind every person. There is a reason why they are the way they are. They are not just like that bcoz they want to. Something in the past created them, and sometimes it is impossible to fix them.
• Don't look to be completed. You're already complete. (From Milk & Honey by Rupi Kaur); i don’t want to have you to fill the empty parts of me; i want to be full on my own; i want to be so complete i could light a whole city and then i want to have you coz the 2 of us combined could set it on fire
• Change the stories you tell yourself ( Can i do it?  To I can do it)

• If i got everything i ever wanted in life, i would never be in the incredible place that i am today. It’s ok to not get what you want.
• Don't put your happiness in someone else's pocket ; Be with someone who makes you happy
• Be patient for big things and impatient for the small things ;No great thing is created suddenly; It takes time to build a relationship , a career, a house. If we try to speed the process up, we are likely to become frustrated. Worse, we may build something that is less than what we have hoped for. As i put together the pieces of my life, i recognize that i cannot --& should not -- hurry the important things. I want whatever i build to be sturdy n long-lasting.
• Be confident; Too many days are wasted comparing ourselves to others n wishing to be something we are not; Everybody has their own strengths n weaknesses, and it is only when you accept everything you are - and aren’t - that you will truly succeed.
• Sometimes it’s like people are a million times more beautiful to you in your mind. It’s like you see them through a special lens - but maybe if it’s how you see them, that’s how they really are.
