Open your mouth, only if what you’re about to say is more beautiful than silence!

Worry is a down payment on a problem you may never have.

Having a heart full of love & compassion is far better than a mind full of judgement. – Kerry Savage.

Sometimes all you need is a hug from the right person.

The moment when someone lives in denial and tries to make you believe their lie!
Nah, hun, I’m good..    – Celina Norrish.

What you see is life, what you know is experience, what you feel is all your own!

Sometimes the people we’ve known for a short amount of time have the biggest impact on our lives, even more than those we’ve known forever.

I love when I laugh for 10 minutes* *stop* *catch my breath* *think about what made me laugh* *laugh for 10 more minutes*

Charm is deceitful and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who has good character will be honoured.

What’s done is done. What’s gone is gone. One of life’s lessons is always moving on. It’s okay to look back to see how far you’ve come. REMEMBER: Failure is a bend in the road, not the end of the road. Learn from failure and keep moving forward

Your mind is your garden
Your thoughts are the seeds
In the end you will harvest
either flowers or weeds. Think right and you will act right!

Whatever you give is what you will receive. Be gracious, kind, loving & merciful – you will need it one day!

When dealing with a narcissist, don’t defend yourself against attacks. Instead say, “Your attempt to portray me in a negative way is noted.” – Tina Swithin.

Above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it. – Roald Dahl.

Guard well within yourself that treasure, kindness. Know how to give without hesitation, how to lose without regret, how to acquire without meanness.- George Sand (1804 – 1876).

The more we are in love the more courageous we become, the more eager we are, the more humble and loving we feel. Once we know that we are in love and that those feelings will never change then nothing will stop love from becoming complete.

If you believe everyone is out to get you, you will attack anyone who so much as comes near you.
If you are miserable, you will see every moment that happens as something to make you more unhappy.
If you are suspicious, you will never learn to trust anyone.
Try getting up one morning, and just looking in the mirror and putting a smile on your face. You have no idea what a difference that’ll make.

The Story of Life

Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson, or to help you figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be (possibly your roommate, neighbor, coworker, longlost friend, lover, or even a complete stranger) but when you lock eyes with them, you know at that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way.

And sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible, painful, and unfair at first, but in reflection you find that without overcoming those obstacles you would have never realized your potential, strength, willpower, or heart.

Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness, and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, whatever they may be, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere. It would be safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly pointless.

The people you meet who affect your life, and the success and downfalls you experience help to create who you become. Even the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are probably the most poignant and important ones. If someone hurts you, betrays you, or breaks your heart, forgive them, for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious when you open your heart. If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because in a way, they are teaching you to love and how to open your heart and eyes to things.

Make every day count!!! Appreciate every moment and take from those moments everything that you possibly can for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people that you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Let yourself fall in love, break free, and set your sights high. Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don’t believe in yourself, it will be hard for others to believe in you. You can make of your life anything you wish. Create your own life then go out and live it with absolutely no regrets.

Find Happiness

Once a group of 50 people were attending a seminar. Suddenly the speaker stopped and decided to do a group activity. He started giving each attendee one balloon. Each one was asked to write his/her name on it using a marker pen. Then all the balloons were collected and put in another room.

Now these delegates were let into that room and asked to find the balloon which had their name written within 5 minutes. Everyone was frantically searching for their name, colliding with each other, pushing around others and there was utter chaos.

At the end of 5 minutes no one could find their own balloon. Now each one was asked to randomly collect a balloon and give it to the person whose name was written on it. Within minutes everyone had their own balloon.

The speaker then began, “This is happening in our lives. Everyone is frantically looking for happiness all around, not knowing where it is.

Our happiness lies in the happiness of other people. Give them their happiness; you will get your own happiness. And this is the purpose of human life…the pursuit of happiness.”
