Up To You.

The starting point of maturity is the realization that
"no one is coming to the rescue,"
everything you are and everything you will be
is entirely up to you.

The Art of Timing.

Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing.
There is a time for silence.
A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny.
And a time to prepare to pick up the pieces
when it's all over.

Doses of Sanity.

1. Enjoy life. There's plenty of time to be dead.

2. Nobody really cares if you are miserable, so might as well be happy.

3. If you can't solve it, it's not a problem -- it's reality.

4. Happiness is like perfume, you can't pour it on others
without getting a few drops on yourself.

Life's Little Instructions.

1. Never tell a person who's experiencing deep sorrow,
"I know how you feel." You don't.

2. Never risk what you can't afford to lose.

3. Once a year, go somewhere you've never been before.

4. Remember that the formula for great love is communication + respect.

5. When declaring you rights, don't forget your responsibilities.

6. Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a stroke of good luck.

Stars are like Friends.

Why do stars show up at night?
Actually, they don't just show up at night..
There are stars at daytime..
Ever wonder why you don't seem to notice them?
'Cause during the day, the sun is everything to you..
And only when your sun doesn't shine anymore
will you notice the thousand little stars
who were there for you all along.

One Reason.

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work..
You only need to find one good reason why it will.

Just a Thought.

To keep something, you must care for it.
Much more, you must understand
what kind of care it requires.

Q&A with Love.

Question:
How come that the eye is the most amazing part of the human body?

Answer:
Because a severe contact with another eye can make you fall in love..

Take charge.

If you have your chance now, take it.
If you want something, nothing can stop you.
Don't leave your life up to fate or destiny or whatever.
It's always your choice.
Take charge.
Do what you can now.
Do what makes you happy.
And to hell with the consequences.
If you get bitten, then you'll know it wasn't for you.
At least there won't be any regrets or what if's.
There's always a risk,
but not taking that risk is an even bigger risk.

If Love is like Rain.

The nicest thing about the RAIN is that it always stops.. eventually.
If LOVE could be that easy, no one would ever get hurt
and sucked up by the pain.

Never.

Never stab those you cannot kill,
and never be too sweet to those you cannot love.

A Friend Forever.

One sweet thing that a person who can't love you back can offer..
Only to be your friend -- forever.

Starting Over.

Starting all over again is not that bad;
for when you restart,
you get another chance to make things right..
Life does go on and it will be better tomorrow.

Distancing,

Distancing is done for 2 reasons:
Either you hate the person,
or you're just too scared to fall completely for that person.

Be careful.

If your foot slips,
you can always recover your balance,
but when your tongue slips,
you can never recover your words.

Mean it.

A lot of things could be said within a little period of time
but what matters is how long you will really mean it.

Changes.

It's funny how day by dayy nothing changes,
but when you look back,
everything is different.

Love.

Love is just a word..
until you meet someone who will give you
its sweetest meaning.

One advice.

When you're in pain, don't fight it..
You'll just get exhausted..
One advice:
Feel the pain, until it hurts no more.

Worst Regret.

The worst regret we can have in life
is not for the wrong things we did..
But for the right things
we could have done
but we never did.

Imperfections and Mistakes.

Imperfections are important,
just as mistakes are.
You only get to be good by learning from mistakes.
And you get to be real by being imperfect.

Living life.

You can't leave footprints if you walk on tiptoe.
This is what living life means.
You can never get what you want
if you're too scared to get hurt.

Person.

The measure of a person
is not on how he prepares everything to go right
but on how graceful he stands up and moves on
after everything goes wrong.

Things in life.

There are things in life that we question a lot,
but we do not realize that sometimes,
answers come when we stop asking.

Think.

If you have something you want to do in life,
don't think about the problems,
think about the ways to get it done.

Someone.

Don't go for someone who always tells you how perfect you are, cause you're not.
Find someone who will tell you exactly what he thinks of you..
Someone who will tell yo how irritating and impossible you can be sometimes..
Someone who gives compliments at the right time.
Someone who will laugh at your clumsiness, but will still love you for it.
Someone who won't be afraid in telling you the truth,
cause only those who can be honest and loyal can stay up to the very end.

The best kiss.

The best kiss:
is when you do it, even often, but every time it happens,
it always feels like first.
When your knees go weak because you feel the sincerity
and the 'electricity',
and the sweetest part is
when your special someone whispers 'i love you',
after the gentle 'short but sweet kiss'.

Tough Decisions.

Life is all about tough decisions:
Whether to give up or to go on;
hold back or give it all;
to love or to leave.
We never really know exactly what to do
or when to do it.
Either we fail or succeed.
But 1 thing is for sure..
That we learn from our choices -- whichever way we go.
And that's what's important.

Expect the unexpected.

You can't predict what's gonna happen,
but sometimes the thing you didn't expect
is what you really wanted after all.
Maybe the best thing to do
is stop trying to figure out
where you're going
and just enjoy where you're at..

It's real.

Love takes effort and acceptance.
It won't always be a happy ride.
You'll cry when you're hurt,
you'll be sad when ignored..
but hold on, and always remember..
Love hurts when "it's real".

Just a reminder.

Keep your optimism..
after all..
no one has ever damaged his eyesight
by looking at the BRIGHTER side of life.
