“There comes a time in your life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad and focus on the good.

Harris - Art by Ernesto Yerena

Resiliency is in our nature but it is our ego that shrouds us from the truth about ourselves and the power we hold within. It has been said numerous times through history don't let your emotions cloud your judgement and learn to speak less & you'll live to be a little happier. Point is don't give up, learn to love your self in the process and most importantly stand strong by your beliefs and watch the world work in your favor. - Jerlin The Madd

Crossing the starting line may be an act of courage, but crossing the finish line is an act of faith. Faith is what keeps us going when nothing else will. Faith is the emotion that will give you victory over your past, the demons in your soul, & all of those voices that tell you what you can & cannot do & can & cannot be. John Bingham

Mr. Meeseeks: Having a family doesn’t mean that you stop being an individual. You know the best thing you can do for the people that depend on you? Be honest with them, even if it means setting them free.

How many slams in an old screen door? Depends how loud you shut it. How many slices in a bread? Depends how thin you cut it. How much good inside a day? Depends how good you live 'em. How much love inside a friend? Depends how much you give 'em.  ― Shel Silverstein

“If you have a positive attitude and constantly strive to give your best effort, eventually you will overcome your immediate problems and find you are ready for greater challenges.”  -Pat Riley
