• Never settle for anything less than butterflies

  

  I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness for it shows me the stars.

  
  

  Life isn’t about keeping score. It’s not about how many people call you and it’s not about who you’ve dated, are dating, or haven’t dated at all. It isn’t about who you’ve kissed, what sport you play, or which guy or girl likes you. It’s not about your shoes or your hair or the color of your skin or where you live or go to school. In fact, it’s not about grades, money, clothes, or colleges that accept you or not. Life isn’t about if you have lots of friends, or if you are alone, and it’s not about how accepted or unaccepted you are. Life just isn’t about that. But life is about who you love and who you hurt. It’s about how you feel about yourself. It’s about trust, happiness, and compassion. Life is about avoiding jealousy, overcoming ignorance, and building confidence. It’s about what you say and what you mean. It’s about seeing people for who they are and not what they have. Most of all, it is about choosing to use your life to touch someone else’s in a way that could never have been achieved otherwise. These choices are what life’s about.

  
  

  You have to go through the falling down in order to learn to walk. It helps to know that you can survive it. 

  
  

  We can never turn back the pages of time, though we may wish to relive a happy moment, or say goodbye just one last time, we never can, because the sands of time continue to fall, and we can’t turn the hourglass over.

  
  

  Being beautiful is more than how many boys you can get to look at you, or how much makeup you can wear. It’s about what you live for. It’s about what defines you. It’s about the heart that you have and what makes you special. It’s about those little quirks that make you, you. It’s about going against the flow, and living out what you honestly think. And that is a beautiful thing.

  
  

  If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.

  
  

  When you’re at that point, when you feel it’s all pointless… It’s not. The trick is to just keep doing it, that’s how you succeed in the end. It’s the secret to life, do anything often enough, and for long enough, and you get good at it. So keep on. Keep writing. Keep painting. Keep singing. Keep dancing. Keep fighting. Keep on.

  
  

  You have people come into your life shockingly and surprisingly. You have losses that you never thought you’d experience. You have rejection and you have learn how to deal with that and how to get up the next day and go on with it. 

  
  

  Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.

  
  

  Open your eyes, look within. Are you satisfied with the life you’re living? 

  
  

  You cannot hold onto anything that wants to go. Do you understand what I’m saying? You just got to love it while you got it, and that’s that.

  
  

  No matter what you do, bad or good, people are always gonna have something to say about it. Just remember this: if people always have something to say about your life, that’s saying little about their own. Keep your head up, stay strong, and just breathe. Live. If you needed some encouragement today, this is it. So don’t waste it. Pass it on, spread it, but most importantly believe it.

  
  

  One must desire something to be alive.

  
  

  Every tomorrow has two handles.  We can take hold of it by the handle of anxiety, or by the handle of faith.

  
  

  Time is like a handful of sand- the tighter you grasp it, the faster it runs through your fingers.

  
  

  Success is the journey, not the destination.

  
  

  I learned pretty quickly that you have to be careful who you trust.

  
  

  I’ve come to believe that each of us has a personal calling that’s as unique as a fingerprint – and that the best way to succeed is to discover what you love and then find a way to offer it to others in the form of service, working hard, and also allowing the energy of the universe to lead youLive with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate you friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
