Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside while still alive. NEVER SURRENDER!

                                    ~Tupac 

Take chances, take a lot of them, because honestly, no matter where you end up and with whom, it always ends up just the way it should be. Your mistakes make you who you are. You learn and grow with each choice you make. Everything is worth it. Say how you feel, always. Be you and be okay with it.

“Later that day I got to thinking about

 relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that’s just fabulous.” – Carrie Bradshaw, Sex and the City

"If you can't fly then run,

If you can't run then walk

If you can't walk then crawl

But whatever you do

You have to keep

MOVING FORWARD!!!!"

"There are 6 billion people in the world. 6 BILLION. Of those, there is one person for you. Maybe you'll meet in a small little coffee shop or at your favorite book store, a concert, or maybe you'll even meet on the train, or bump into each other in the supermarket. No matter what or how you meet there is someone out there, looking for you just like you are looking for them."

"God gives us hopes and dreams for certain things to happen in our lives, but He doesn't always allow us to see the exact timing of His plan. So be encouraged, patient and know that it is all going to come together one day."

"Chin Up, Head High, Smile Bright. Make Them Wonder Why You Haven't Given In."

"A flower starts deep under the dirt and has to fight against gravity in the darkness before breaking and opening its bloom to the sun. You may feel like you're in darkness, and everything around you is muddy, but keep pushing toward the light and when the time is right, you too will bloom"

"You are one of a kind, a true original, a masterpiece of incomparable value....And without you, the world would be incomplete like a puzzle missing a crucial piece. Right now in this one profound moment in time, you are perfect. As perfect as you were created to be. You are infinitely smarter than you give yourself credit for, and a thousand times more capable of achieving your dreams than you believe yourself to be.

Never, Ever, Doubt your own worth because even in those moments when you feel it the least, you are still wonderfully made and there is within every single cell of your being enough power to light the world. God placed if there the day you were born. Every loving thought you think radiates forward, brightening the world and making it a better place to be. That's how powerful you are, that's how loving you are." ;)

Everything Happens For A Reason

"Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there. They serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are, or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be; your roommate, neighbor, long lost friend, lover, or complete stranger but when you lock eyes with them you know that very moment they will affect your life in some profound way.

Sometimes things happen to you and at the time they seem horrible, painful and unfair, but in reflection you realize that without overcoming those obstacles you would never have realized your potential, strength, and will power. Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good or bad luck. Illness, Injury, Love, Lost Moments, True Greatness, and Sheer Stupidity all occur to test the limits of the soul. Without these small tests, life would be like a smooth, paved straight flat road to nowhere. Safe and comfortable but dull and utterly pointless.

The people you meet who affect your life, successes and downfalls you experience they are the ones who create who you are. If someone hurts you, betrays you or breaks your heart....Forgive them, for they have helped you learn about trust. If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally not only because they love you but because they are teaching you how to love.

Make everyday count...Appreciate every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again. You can make of your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out and live it and remember EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON!!!!! ;D"
