The Life & Times of Keenan Moore

“I have this strange feeling that I’m not myself anymore. It’s hard to put into words, but I guess it’s like I was fast asleep, and someone came, disassembled me, and hurriedly put me back together again. That sort of feeling.”

It all begins with you. If you do not care for yourself, you will not be strong enough to take care of anything in life.

Sometimes life will kick you around, but sooner or later you realize you’re not just a survivor, you’re a warrior. And you’re stronger than anything life throws your way.

Sometimes you have to accept the fact that certain things will never go back to how they used to be.

Those who love you are not fooled by mistakes you have made or dark images you hold about yourself. They remember your beauty when you feel ugly; your wholeness when you are broken; your innocence when you feel guilty; and your purpose when you are confused.

Choose to believe that you are truly worthy. Worthy of love, worthy of affection, worthy of attention, worthy of acceptance, worthy of a second chance, worthy of being chosen, worthy of succeeding and of reaching for your dreams.

When it comes to being gentle, start with yourself. Don’t get upset with your imperfections. Being disappointed by failure is understandable, but it shouldn’t turn into bitterness or spite directed at yourself. It’s a great mistake because it leads nowhere to get angry because you are angry, upset at being upset, disappointed because you are disappointed.

Stop putting limits on your life. You are worth everything.

Don’t allow yourself to be a victim. Take control of your life. Let go of people who serve you no good. Start doing things to make you happy.

It is not always going to be this wayyou’re not always going to feel this broken or feel like nothing one day it’s going to work out for you.

If you look back only at your mistakes, you’d think you were an idiot. If you look back only at your wiser choices, you’d think you were infallible. But if you look back on everything, you realize you’re a human being who has been through a lot, grown a lot, is always still learning, and improving as time goes by.
