| .etc. all changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves. we must die to one life before we can enter another. at the end of the day, faith is a funny thing. it turns up when you don't really expect it. it's like one day you realize that the fairy tale may be slightly different than you dreamed. the castle, well, it may not be a castle. and it's not so important happy ever after, just that it's happy right now. see once in awhile, once in a blue moon, people will surprise you. and once in awhile people may even take your breath away. [grey's anatomy] be generous with your joy. give away what you most want. be generous with your insights and delights. instead of fearing that they're going to slip away and holding on to them, share them. but as human beings, sometimes it's better to stay in the dark, because in the dark there may be fear, but there's also hope. [grey's anatomy] change your thoughts and you change the world. do not follow where the path may lead. go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. don't fear failure so much that you refuse to try new things. the saddest summary of a life contains three descriptions: would have, could have, and should have. dream like you'll live forever but live like you'll die today. every man dies. not every man truly lives. for my own part, i know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of stars makes me dream. god grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change, the strength to change the things i can, and the wisdom to know the difference. happiness isn't having what you want but wanting what you have. hopes guides me. it is what gets me through the day and especially the night. [a knight's tale] i knew i would look back on my tears and laugh, but i never thought i would look back on my laughs and cry. i would rather do something and find out it was the wrong thing than never know if it was the right thing. in three words i can sum up everything i've ever learned about life: it goes on. live today with a passion because you do have that choice. never let yesterday's mistakes overshadow tomorrow's possibilities. never regret something that once made you smile. remember that everyone you meet is afraid of something, loves something, and has lost something. someday all you will have to light your way will be a single ray of hope... and that will be enough. the clock of life is wound but once, and no man has the power to tell just when the clock will stop, at late or early hour. now is the only time you own, so live, love, and toil with a will, and place no faith in tomorrow for the clock may then be still. the best and most beautitul things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. they must be felt with the heart. to live is the rarest thing in the world. most people exist, that is all. when you are born, you are crying and everyone around you is smiling. live your life so that when you die, you are smiling and everyone around you is crying. wheresoever you go, go with all your heart. you have to take the good with the bad, smile with the sad... love what you got and remember what you had... always forgive but never forget ... learn from your mistakes but never regret... people change, things go wrong, just rememeber: life goes on. |
