"Dealing With Change Quotes"
"Survive the dark and you will become the light."
"As you journey through life chose your destinations well, but do not hurry there for you will arrive soon enough. Wander the back roads and forgotten paths keeping your destination in your heart like the fixed point of a compass. Seek out new voices, strange sights and ideas foreign to your own - such things are riches for the soul. And if upon arrival you find that your destination is not exactly as you had dreamed, do not be disappointed. Think of all you would have missed, but for the journey there, and know that the true worth of your travels lies in not where you come to be at journey's end but in who you come to be along the way."

ALWAYS A BETTER WAY
Speak to me about desperation;
I will give you hope.
Look at me with grief;
I will return a gracious smile.
Show me disbelief;
I will share with you my faith.
Tell me you're in haste;
I will urge you to calm down.
Talk to me in useless arguments;
I will answer you in silence.
Speak to me of mental torture;
I will exhibit inner peace.
Give me an account of violence;
I will recount some peaceful means.
Do me any form of abuses;
You'll see, I will still be whole.
Talk to me about being tired of living;
Just look how happy I am to be alive.
Life will always be
Choices of make or break.
Whatever I choose to do,
Whatever I choose to be,
However I choose to feel,
I make sure I take the better way.

Dream your own dream and follow your own star.
There wouldn't be a heaven full of stars
If we were all supposed to wish on the same one!
There will always be dreams grander or humbler that yours,
But there will never be a dream exactly like your own.
For you are unique and more wonderful than you know!
Do your best!
There are no short cuts on the way to a dream.
So give all you have to all that you do.
And above all things
Believe in yourself.
This is all your dream asks of you, but it is everything.
