“LIFE IS TO BE ENJOYED, NOT ENDURED”-JM There will come a time when all of us are dead. All of us. Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. There will come a time when there are no human beings remaining to remember that anyone ever existed or that our species ever did anything. Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving. There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. Dont cry because its over, smile because it happened. To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give of one’s self; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived—this is to have succeeded. Youve gotta dance like theres nobody watching, Love like youll never be hurt, Sing like theres nobody listening, And live like its heaven on earth. To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give of one’s self; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived—this is to have succeeded. This life is what you make it. No matter what, youre going to mess up sometimes, its a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how youre going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - theyll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - theyre your true best friends. Dont let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, theyll come and go too. And baby, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you cant give up because if you give up, youll never find your soul mate. Youll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesnt mean youre gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you dont, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because lifes a beautiful thing and theres so much to smile about.” There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.” “Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists. It is real... It is possible... its yours.”
