Here are random thoughts and quotes that I like that might make you think! Enjoy.
"It is our choices, Harry,
that show what we truly are,
far more than our abilities."
(from Harry Potter)
It hurts more to know
that you're going to lose your true love
than it does to lose them.
"love is friendship set on fire"
A friend is the person
who takes your hand
and leads you away
when others are laughing.
"If you live to be a hundred,
I want to live to be a hundred minus one day,
so I never have to live without you."
"True friendship is like sound health;
the value of it is seldom known until it be lost."
"Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow.
Don't walk behind me, I may not lead.
Walk beside me and be my friend."
"Friends are the Bacon Bits
in the Salad Bowl of Life."
"Friendship is one mind in two bodies."
"Friends are God's way of taking care of us."
"I'll lean on you and
you lean on me
and we'll be
okay."
"Everyone hears what you say.
Friends listen to what you say.
Best friends listen to what you don't say."
"We all take different paths in life,
but no matter where we go,
we take a little of each other"
'Come to the edge,' I said.
'No. we're afraid."
'Come to the edge.'
'No...We're afraid. We'll fall.'
'Come to the edge,' I said again.
And they came.
And I pushed them.
And they flew.
"I'm not blue,
I'm a shade of aqua."
"The strongest of the weak
will eventually triumph
over the weakest of the strong"
"It takes a minute to have a crush on someone,
an hour to like someone and a day to love someone-
but it takes a lifetime to forget someone."
sudden glory
is the passion which makes those grimaces
called laughter.
If there were no boundaries
then we could really understand
who we are.
make new friends
keep the old
one is silver
the other is gold
You don't love somebody
because of their looks
or their clothes or their car.
You love them
because they sing a song
that nobody but you can understand.
It's easy to say that you're no better than everyone,
but ten minutes later when you insult your enemy,
what's going through your head?
Your heart may have beaten for two-hundred years,
but that only means you've existed,
it doesn't mean
you have lived.
"Shoot for the moon.
Even if you miss,
you'll still land among the stars."
'Normal' is just a setting on a washing machine."
"Procrastination means you know
what you need to do
and you don't do it.
If you don't know what to do,
you aren't procrastinating.
You are thinking."
"If you can go through life
without experiencing pain
you probably haven't been born yet."
"A friend is one who stands aside
and dries your tears
even when you're not crying yet."
"Life is a blank canvas,
and you are the one
who chooses the colors
you want to make
your world sparkle with."
Many people will walk in and out of your life,
But only true friends
will leave footprints in your heart.
To handle yourself,
use your head;
To handle others,
use your heart.
Anger is only one letter short of danger.
If someone betrays you once,
it is his fault;
If he betrays you
twice, it is your fault.
Great minds discuss ideas;
Average minds discuss events;
Small minds discuss people.
He who loses money,
loses much;
He, who loses a friend,
loses much more;
He, who loses faith,
loses all.
Beautiful young people are accidents of nature,
but beautiful old people are works of art.
Learn from the mistakes of others.
You can't live long enough to make them all yourself.
I always set my alarm early cause I believe that when you open your eyes every morning you should lie there and think a little. I usually think about what I've got to do that day. Then I think of one thing that makes me happy to make me smile to start the day. It's my way of starting the day in a good mood.
Inspired by Sophie's World:
If you were eating breakfast with a 4-year-old boy and your mum and dad and suddenly your dad started to fly around the room the boy would exclaim, "Look! Daddy's flying!" and be very excited. Your mother would scream or faint, right? That's because as adults (and older teens) we have already learned in life that it is impossible to fly. This young boy doesn't know this.. he just thinks Daddy is being silly and that he is funny. If you go through life with a closed mind to the world, you will not enjoy life. You must be amazed at small things, be amused at corny jokes, and definitely expect the unexpected. Then you will learn to LIVE! And dammit, don't think things you haven't seen are impossible.
"If you have a negative attitude you will either be right or pleasantly surprised.." but also your outlook will be kinda shitty, don't you know? How depressing! It is better to be positive to everything, and be prepared to block out your own problems anytime someone else needs to talk. When someone else needs you, use your positive attitude and humour to get them happy again. I have found that if i try to cheer someone else up i usually forget my problems and cheer myself up also. Be optimistic!
Don't STRESS. Problems can be sorted and everything has a solution. Talk to someone, think a lot. Go through your options. But don't stress about it - it will make it so much worse!
Live through your passions. If you are good at something (and that usually means you also enjoy it) then pursue it. Keep it going.
Don't worry about petty things. If you're suddenly in the wrong lane for where you need to go, who cares? Take the next turn and go back. You can sort it, you can get back, all is not lost! I think being like this will give me years more to my life. ;)
"Live every day as if it is your last". As cliche as this is, who knows when the world will end? Or your life for that matter. Tell your loved ones everyday that you love them. If you die tomorrow at least they would know. I'd hate to regret not saying something so important.
Take risks. Take leaps. You've got to TRY. What's the worst that can happen? Sure, shit can hit the fan. But something MAGIC could come out of it.
I have learned that whenever i am upset or i need a talk there are many kind people willing to listen. And confiding in strangers can be a powerful thing - they probably won't judge you and you will find it really easy to talk to them. Next time you're on a bus trip next to some friendly-looking person, maybe you can start up a conversation? I've met some neat people this way.
I have two beliefs on love:
Do you know that if you are cheerful around sad people it wears off on them? Have you noticed this? Even if you feel your world is going to end you can be cheerful and cheer others. You will also feel happier knowing other people are happier.
I have learned that whenever I am sad I can get lost in my music. If i sit on my bed, put on a show or a great album I can lose myself in the beautiful music... lose everything. All my problems float away for a few hours.. where i can be happy without reality..:) Trust me, it works.. try it sometime. Also, if I put on a favourite song and sing my heart out I end up feeling a hell of a lot better...
3 words: NEVER GIVE UP!
