You say you love the rain, but you open the umbrella.

You say you love the sun, but you're looking for a shady corner.

You say you love the wind, but you close the windows.

That's why I'm scared when you say you love me.

~ William Shakespeare ~

Sometimes we know deep down in our being

what we really should do,

but we are afraid to do it.

Take risks and get out of safety

of the world we've always known

is the only way to grow,

although without risk there is no reward.

~ Wil Wheaton ~

“Sometimes, success doesn’t come quickly;

comes after a long way,

journey with patience,

persistence and a silent faith”.

“There is a kind of sweet innocence in being human, 

in not having to be just happy or just sad, 

in the nature of being able to be broken 

and whole at the same time”.

and guide them towards their fullest 

potential that they do not even know”.

“Rediscovering hope not only makes

the challenges we face be bearable,

but he also feels the basis for believing

that circumstances can change”.

Life is too short to waste time

wondering what others think of you.

First of all, if they had better things in life,

they wouldn’t have time to talk about you. 

The important thing for me it is not 

the opinion of others, but my own.

~ C. JoyBell C. ~

“I give without expecting anything, 

because the universe always finds 

a way to return everything I need 

and more without me asking.”

My friends, love is better than anger. 

Hope is better than fear. 

Optimism is better than despair. 

So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. 

And we will change the world.

Elegance is a radiant inner peace.

Grace is the ability to give, receive and thank.

Mystery is a hidden laugh always ready to emerge!

Glamor only radiates if there is sublime courage and bravery

inside: glamor is like the moon;

it only shines because the sun is there. 

~ J. JoyBell J. ~

You may be the only person 

left who believes in you, but it's enough. 

Just one star to cross a universe of darkness. 

Never give up.

~ Richelle E. Goodrich ~

Life is made of failures and successes. 

I know the person who cheers someone 

on both ends of the spectrum, as life 

is never perfect 100 % of the time.

~ Torron-Lee Dewar ~

Kindness can turn someone’s 

dark moment into a ray of light. 

You will never know how much 

your affection matters. 

Make a difference today.

~ Amy Leigh Mercree ~ 

Everything you learn becomes your wealth, 

an unmovable wealth; whether you learn it in 

a school or in life. Learning something new 

is an eternal pleasure and a valuable treasure. 

And not everything you learn is taught to you, 

but many things you realize you have learned yourself.

~ J. JoyBell C ~

“My friends, love is better than anger.

Listen with curiosity. Speak with honesty. Act with integrity. 

The biggest problem with communication 

is that we don't listen to understand. 

We listen to respond. When we listen with curiosity, 

we do not listen with the intent to respond. 

We listen to what is behind the words.
