We can't be afraid of change. 

You may feel very safe in the pond you're in, 

but if you never venture out, 

you'll never know there is such a thing as an ocean, a sea.

Holding on to something that feels good to you now may 

be the reason you don't have something better.

The 15 Things Money Can't Buy:

Happiness, inner peace, integrity, 

love, character, good manners, health, 

respect, morals, confidence, patience, 

class, common sense, and dignity.

“It's easy to judge someone who is going through 

a difficult path, but actually walking it is something 

completely different.”

~ Charlie Bynar ~

Life's too short to waste time wondering 

what other people think of you. 

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

they wouldn't have time to talk about you. 

What's important to me isn't other people's opinions, it's my own.

~ C. JoyBell C. ~

You matter, not because of what you do or accomplish, 

but because of who you are. 

Even on days of doubt, remember: 

the world shines a little brighter because you're in it.

~ Bhuwan Thapaliya ~

“No dream is too big, too vague, 

or too far away to stop 

us from making it a reality.”

~ Bhuwan Thapaliya ~

She must follow her own path. 

And we must accept that, on her journey, 

we may not be the heroes destined to save her, 

but simply the guides meant to accompany her. 

To love her on her journey. 

That is the true price of friendship.

~ Nicole Conway ~

“It takes humility and courage

— two of life's great lessons —

to admit one's mistakes and correct them.”

~ Charlie Bynar ~

Endings aren't bad, they just mean something else 

is about to begin. And there are many things that 

don't really end; they just start over again in a new way. 

Endings aren't bad, and many endings aren't really endings; 

some things are eternal.

~ C. JoyBell C. ~

“It takes humility and courage

two of life's great lessons

to admit one's mistakes and correct them.”

~ Charlie Bynar ~

When we judge someone, we don't see them as they are.

We see them as we imagine them through our judgment.

It's a false image of who they really are,

and if we only look for the bad in someone,

that's what we'll likely find.

~ Charlie Bynar ~

Be grateful for what you already have while pursuing your goals.

If you're not grateful for what you already have, 

what makes you think you'd be happy with more?

~ Roy T. Bennett ~

Don't yearn to be popular; be exquisite. 

Don't desire to be famous; be loved. 

Don't be proud of being expected; 

be palpable, unmistakable.

~ C. JoyBell C. ~

Hearts can break, but they are very resilient muscles, 

capable of beating for a lifetime, seventy times a minute, 

and barely faltering along the way. 

Even dreams, the most delicate and intangible things, 

can prove extraordinarily difficult to kill.

~ Neil Gaiman ~

Be grateful for what you already have 

while pursuing your goals.

If you're not grateful for what you already have, 

what makes you think you'd be happy with more?

~ Roy T. Bennett ~

A smile puts you on the right path. 

A smile makes the world a beautiful place. 

When you lose your smile, 

you lose yourself in the chaos of life.

~ Roy T. Bennett ~

The mind is a garden; 

your thoughts are the seeds. 

You can grow flowers 

or you can grow weeds.

~ David Maze ~

The best thing about dreams 

is that they don't expire.

They can lie dormant for years, 

and when you recover and dust them off, 

they shine like new.

~ Casi McLean ~

Let's face it: in the age of social media, 

opinions have become commodities, 

often exchanged without real impact.

~ Victoria Silchenko ~

“The only way that we can live, is if we grow. 

The only way that we can grow is if we change. 

The only way that we can change is if we learn. 

The only way we can learn is if we are exposed. 

And the only way that we can become exposed 

is if we throw ourselves out into the open. 

Do it. Throw yourself.”
