I'm a greater believer in luck

I'm a greater believer in luck,

 and I find

 the harder I work

 the more I have of it.

 - Thomas Jefferson -

Any person can say

Any person

 can say

 that they love you.

Only a few

 will actually

 prove it.

Your inner-state

Be more interested

 in your inner-state

 in any given situation

 than what is happening

 in the outer situation.

Asking

 "what is my inner-state at THIS moment"

 is always primary.

 Dealing with external situations,

 the outcome of this situation

 or that situation

 or this person

 agrees with me

 or does not agree with me…

 all these are secondary things

 ~Eckart Tolle~

7 Rules of Life

A true relationship

A true relationship

 is when you can tell each other

 anything and everything.

 No secrets and no lies.

If you wait to do everything

If you wait

 to do everything

 when you're sure it's right,

 you'll probably never do

 much of anything

DAMAGED PEOPLE

DAMAGED PEOPLE 

We're damaged people
Drawn together
By subtleties that we are not aware of
Disturbed souls
Playing out forever
These games that we once thought we would be scared of

When you're in my arms
The world makes sense
There is no pretense
And you're crying
When you're by my side
There is no defense
I forget to sense
I'm dying

We're damaged people
Praying for something
That doesn't come from somewhere deep inside us
Depraved souls
Trusting in the one thing
The one thing that this life has not denied us

When I feel the warmth
Of your very soul
I forget I'm cold
And crying
When your lips touch mine
And I lose control
I forget I'm old
And dying

- By DEPECHE MODE

The way I see it

The way I see it

 is the more people

 that hate me,

 the less

 I have to get along with.

Don't fall in love

Don't fall in love
with someone who says the right things,
fall in love
with someone who does the right things.

Since SEX

Since SEX got easier to get.
Love got harder to find
And relationships don't last as long...

Let each person worry about Self

Let each person in a relationship
worry about Self
  - what Self is being,
  - doing, and having;
  - what Self is wanting, asking, giving;
  - what Self is seeking, creating,
    experiencing,

Then all relationships would magnificently serve their purpose — and their participants!

Once you have been hurt

Once you have been hurt,

 you're scared

 to get attached again,

 you have a fear

 that every person

 is going to break

 your heart.

Cause another to remember

Cause another to remember.

That which you wish for yourself,

 give to another. . .

What I give to another

 I give myself.

Normal is not something to aspire to

Normal

is not something to aspire to,

 it's something

 to get away from

- Jody Foster -

I'll never give up

I'll never give up

 on someone

 who's worth fighting for.

 But I just don't know

 if you're that person any more.

For A Relationship To Function Properly

In Order For A Relationship To Function Properly, You Must Learn To Forgive

 And Realize

 People Will Make Mistakes

You can know yourself to be generous

You can know yourself to be generous,
but unless you do something
which displays generosity,
you have nothing but a concept.
You can know yourself to be kind,
but unless you do someone a kindness,
you have nothing but an idea about yourself.

First comes thought

First comes thought;

 then organization

 of that thought,

 into ideas and plans;

 then transformation

 of those plans into reality.

The beginning,

 as you will observe,

 is in your imagination.

- Napoleon Hill -

Don't let your mind wander

Don't let your mind wander,
                 it's too little to be left out alone

It is not a lack of love

It is not a lack of love,

 but a lack of friendship

 that makes

 unhappy marriages.

- Friedrich Nietzsche -

The book your soul is writing

Dreams

 are illustrations from the book

 your soul is writing

 about you

 ~ Marsha Norman ~

The smallest acts of kindness

The smallest acts of kindness,

 make

 the biggest differences

 in someone's life.

Once you make a commitment...

What you need to know is

 ...that you need

 to make a commitment and,

 once you make it,

 then 

life will give you some answers.

When pursing our own self-interest

It is important

 that when pursing our own self-interest

 we should be “wise selfish” 

and not

 “foolish selfish”.

 Being foolish selfish

 means pursuing our own interests

 in a narrow, short sighted way.

 Being wise selfish means

 taking a broader view

 and recognizing

 that our own

 long-term individual interest

 lies

 in the welfare of everyone.

 Being wise selfish means

 being compassionate.

The key to success

The key to success

 is to focus our conscious mind

 on things we desire

 not things we fear.

~ Brian Tracy ~

Not reading from the same book

If two people

 are not reading

 from the same book,

 how will they get

 on the same page?

 Be equally yoked.

Take hate as a compliment

Those

 who don't want to see you happy,

 see you as a threat.

 Take hate

 as a compliment.

- GentlemanTheory -

Push or Pulled

Whether

 you pushed me or pulled me,

 drained me or fueled me,

 loved me or left me,

 hurt me or helped me,

 you are a part of my growth

 & 

and no kidding,

 I "thank you"!

Feeling sorry for yourself

Feeling sorry for yourself,

 and your present condition,

 is not only

 a waste of energy

 but the

 worst

habit

 you could possibly have.

- Dale Carnegie -

Never say goodbye

Never

 say goodbye

 because goodbye

 means going away

 and

 going away

 means forgetting.

I'm free to be what I want

I know where I'm going

 and

 I know the truth,

 and I don't have to be

 what you want me to be.

 I'm free to be

 what I want.

Break ups

Break ups

 aren't always meant for

 make ups.

 Sometimes

 relationships are ended

 for you to wake up. 

Say what you need to say

Say what you need to say,

 even if

 Your hands are shaking,

 Your faith is broken,

 and

 Your eyes are closing.

 Do it

 With a wide open heart.

I love you too

"I love you too"

 has a great impact

 on our hearts.

 Anybody

 can get an

 "I love you"

 but only a few

 can get an

 "I love you too."

Life is...

Life isn't about finding yourself.

 Life is about creating yourself.

You know, that place

You know, 

that place

 between sleep and awake,

 that place

 where you still remember dreaming?

 That's

 where

 I'll always love you.

When two people are really in love

I believe

 when two people

 are really in love with each other,

 they won't ever let go.

 Even if it hurts

 a thousand times or more

 to stay.

Just like a shoe

Just like a shoe,

 if someone is meant for you,

 they will just fit perfectly;

 no forcing,

 no struggling,

 no pain. 

To My Children

To My Children;

When I tell you I love you, I don't say it out of habit or to make conversation. I say it to remind you that you make my world complete, fill it with joy and occasionally sadness, adventure and sometimes pain, marvel as well the odd questions, direction even though I may seem lost, love especially the times you said you don't, what is important and what is not, and when its time to let go even when I want to hold you tight. I am doing the best job I know how, and as you grow and learn so do I. I only want the best for you, to guide and teach you when you were young, to understand the world from your eyes which also expands mine, and to see you turn in to incredible human beings when you move on. To know you can face the world, take on challenges of your own, learn from and teach others around you and help make the world a better place. I hope you remember I am always here, always willing to listen, and help where I can for you have made my world a better place too. For now that you are older and we may be miles apart, you are always in my heat and I thank God for the gift he gave to me in you.

Love you always

Dad

There comes a point in your life

There comes a point

 in your life

 when you realize

 who's important in your life,

 who never was

 and who always will be...

Every day may not be good

Every day 

may not be good 

but there must be 

something good 

in every day.

People who know your worth

Surround yourself 
with people 
who know your worth.
You don't need 
too many people 
to be happy,
just a few 
real ones who 
appreciate you 
for exactly who you are!

Some people happen

Some people

 want it to happen, 

some wish it would happen, 

others make it happen.

We'll never have

In life,

 we'll never have

 exactly what we want.

 But in the end,

 God will always give us

 exactly what we need!

A REAL relationship

A

 REAL

 relationship

 is when you can

 tell each other everything

 and

 anything.

 No secrets and lies.

If they really care

No matter

 how "busy" a persons day might be.

 If they "really care",

 they'll always find time

 for you

Her smile is beautiful

Her smile is beautiful,

 but what's it worth to you

 if you never give

 her reason to show it?

 Embrace her joy.

Quite outside my own self

“I sat there for three hours and did not feel the time or the boredom of our talk and its foolish disconnection. As long as I could hear his voice, I was quite lost, quite blind, quite outside my own self.”
― Anaïs Nin

Never chase love

Never chase love,

 affection or attention,

 if it isn't given freely by another person,

 it aint worth having.

Face it we are meant to be

We fight,

 like a married couple,

 talk like best friends,

 flirt like 1st loves,

 & protect each other like siblings.

 Face it we are meant to be.

Being SINGLE is a good feeling

Being SINGLE is a good feeling, 
no drama, 
no heartaches, 
and no feelings. 

But, 
then it gets lonely 
and you miss 
that feeling of belonging.

If a girl cries

If a girl
cries so hard 
and ask you to stay away, 
she 
actually wanted you 
to hug her tightly 
and make the tears go away. 

If you ignore me

If you ignore me,

 I will ignore you.

 If you don't start the conversation,

 we won't talk.

 If you don't put in the effort,

 why should I?

A man who treats his woman like a princess

A man

 who treats his woman

 like a princess

 is proof

 that he has been

 born

 &

 raised

 in the arms of a queen.

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.

 It turns what we have into enough,

 and more.

 It turns denial into acceptance,

 chaos to order,

 confusion to clarity.

 It can turn a meal into a feast,

 a house into a home,

 a stranger into a friend.

- Melody Beatti -

A million feelings

 A million feelings,

 a thousand thoughts,

 and hundreds of memories

 just for one person.

 Oh! It's love.

You are the creator of your dreams

"You

 are the creator

 of your dreams

 and

 opportunities,

 you have the strength

 to overcome

 and

 get through anything."

Good Morning everyone

 you have a blessed day ahead of you,
