Positiving

I think a lot, but I don’t say much.

What we have to remember is that we can still do anything. We can change our minds. We can start over. Get a post-bac or try writing for the first time. The notion that it’s too late to do anything is comical.

Someone can be madly in love with you and still not be ready. They can love you in a way you have never been loved and still not join you on the bridge. And whatever their reasons you must leave. Because you never ever have to inspire anyone to meet you on the bridge. You never ever have to convince someone to do the work to be ready. There is more extraordinary love, more love that you have never seen, out here in this wide and wild universe. And there is the love that will be ready.

When you love something it loves you back in whatever way it has to love.

One of the greatest tragedies in life is to lose your own sense of self and accept the version of you that is expected by everyone else.

Silence is always beautiful, and a silent person is always more beautiful than one who talks.

Don’t watch the clock; do what it does. Keep going.

While one may encounter many defeats, one must not be defeated.

I would always rather be happy than dignified.

When nobody else celebrates you, learn to celebrate yourself. When nobody else compliments you, then compliment yourself. It’s not up to other people to keep you encouraged. It’s up to you. Encouragement should come from the inside.

Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

Never mind searching for who you are. Search for the person you aspire to be.
