here are some words i have collected over time. some are cliché, some are unique. if you know your quotes and sayings you might recognise ones from buddah, oscar wilde, peter pan, audrey hepburn, walt disney and marilyn monroe however most are unknown. they all meant something to me at one point in time, whether for me or someone close to me, and reading back over them many still speak to me. words like these (and so many more out there) can be so powerful, moving, motivating and uplifting. if only they stayed with us a little while longer after we had read them...
oh and p.s. a few metaphors snuck their way into this post!
what you think you become...
what screws us up most in life is the picture in our head of how it is supposed to be...
if you look to others for fulfilment, you will never be truly fulfilled...
experience is simply the name we give our mistakes...
we are shaped by our thoughts, we become what we think, when the mind is pure joy, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves...
don't let the past and useless details choke your existence...
if you have food in your fridge, clothes on your back, a roof over your head and a place to sleep you are richer than 75% of the world. if you have money in the bank, your wallet, and some spare change you are among the top 8% of the world’s wealthy. if you woke up this morning with more health than illness you are more blessed than the million people who will not survive this week. if you have never experienced the danger of battle, the agony of imprisonment or torture, or the horrible pangs of starvation you are luckier than 500 million people alive and suffering. if you can read this message you are more fortunate than 3 billion people in the world who cannot read it at all.
be nice to people. it's a wonderful legacy to leave behind...
don't let anyone ever dull your sparkle...
learn to be alone, it helps you grow...
he is the richest who is content with the least...
love is like water. we can fall in it, we can drown in it and we can't live without it...
never say goodbye, because saying goodbye means going away and going away means forgetting...
everything will be okay in the end. if it's not okay, it's not the end...
i believe in pink. i believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. i believe in kissing, kissing a lot. i believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. i believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. i believe that tomorrow is another day and i believe in miracles.
life is short. break the rules. forgive quickly. kiss slowly. love truly. laugh uncontrollably. and never regret anything that made you smile...
life is like a mirror, smile and it smiles back at you...
live, don't just exist...
if you can dream it, you can do it...
every saint has a past and every sinner has a future...
i believe that everything happens for a reason. people change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.
love a lot, trust a few, but always paddle your own canoe...
goodbyes are not forever, are not the end; it simply means i'll miss you until we meet again...
always remember you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think...
follow your passion it knows where you should go, help people, explore, play, laugh, enjoy, move more, stress less, set and celebrate milestones, you have to put something out there to get something back, everything you want and need is up to you to make happen, carve a niche get it out there, make your own path, define what success looks like for you then go after it, do it now, collect experiences not things, ignore doubters even when they're in your own head, believe in yourself, simplicity is key, nourish your mind and body, take time out often, be your own hero, give yourself permission, trust your instincts, take one step at a time, leverage everything, build your days around what is important to you, when you're doing what you're passionate about you're making the world a better place, never stop learning and experimenting, the less you spend the more you have, be thankful, look at your goals every day.
a man who does not think for himself, does not think at all....
live and let live...
everything happens for a reason...
