“Life here is short, and regret lasts forever.

Perhaps happiness is now, happiness for a moment,

is all we truly get. Eternal happiness

seems like an unreasonable demand in a world on fire.”

~ Kristin Hannah ~

I apologize when I’m wrong.
I do not apologize
when I’m provoked.

You lit the match,
now eat the fire....

“You will find out that it is necessary

to stop doing these things;

simply because they are heavy.

So let them go, let them go.

“I don’t tie weights to my ankles.”

~ C. JoyBell C. ~

I knew that sometimes 

a little fear can be a good thing.

When you fear things will get 

worse if you don't do something,

it can motivate you to act.

But it's not good when fear prevents 

you from doing anything.

~ Spencer Johnson ~

"The world is indeed full of perils,

and in it there are many dark places;

but there is still much beauty, and though in

all lands love is now mingled

with sorrow, perhaps it grows even more."

~ J.R.R. Tolkien ~

Never be
A prisoner of your past,
It was just a lesson,
Not a life sentence...

"It is interesting to observe that where life 

is simple and natural, and where children 

participate in the lives of adults, 

they are calm and happy."

~ Maria Montessori ~ 

“The greatest tool of injustice is fear.

People use fear to control.

They use silence to protect power.

They use ignorance to ensure obedience.”

~ Hagir Elsheikh ~

“True happiness is directly proportional to gratitude. 

To be truly happy, we must be grateful for what we have, 

instead of constantly striving for what we don't.”

~ Lloyd Mullins ~

"I am not the man I was when I failed,

but I wouldn't be who I am without those failures.

I didn't evolve despite my darkness;

I evolved because I faced it,

understood it, and refused to let it define me."

~ Gideon Smith ~

“Read books. Be interested in things. 

Get excited. Try not to be too hard 

on yourself. Enjoy the ever-present 

game of knowledge.”

~ Hank Green ~

I don't block. I don't rant.
I don't stalk.

I just vanish
like you never existed.
That's not petty, that's power.

“If you truly listen, if you pay attention

to the poignant beauty of the world,

your heart will often break.

In fact, your heart is made to break;

its purpose is to open itself again and 

again so that it can hold ever more wonders.”

~ Andrew Harvey ~

“Believe in your infinite potential.

Your only limitations are those you impose on yourself.

Believe in yourself, in your abilities, 

and in your own potential.

Never let doubt paralyze you.

You are worthy of everything you dream of and yearn for.”

~ Roy T. Bennett ~

“The least you can do in life

is discover what you yearn for.

And the most you can do is

live within that hope.

Not admire it from afar, but

live it fully, under its protection.”

~ Barbara Kingsolver ~

"It is interesting to observe 

that where life is simple and natural, 

and where children participate in the 

lives of adults, they are calm and happy."
