"LIFE QUOTES TO INSPIRE YOU"
"Patience child, patience. Remember, life is a journey. If you got everything you wanted all at once there would be no point of living. Enjoy the ride, and in the end you'll see these 'set backs' as giant leaps forward, only you couldn't see the bigger picture in the moment. Remain calm, all is within reach; all you have to do is show up everyday, stay true to your path and you will surely find the treasure you seek."

"Being different doesn't make you a bad person. It makes you unique and true to yourself. So don't look at what others think. You are special."
Written in 2013 by Donald D. Dolan Jr. --- Florida
I created it because I was always different and I want other people to feel motivated at being different. Many people call people who are different... "weird' among other much worse names. This is what people consider outside the norm, but being different doesn't mean that you are a bad person or weird. It means you do what you wanna do to be different and people look down at that. I know because I am one of those people.
"Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves."

"You have the KEY that opens the door to your future."
Written in 2013 by Dr. Maloney Hunter-Lowe --- Virginia
"The greatest legacy anyone can leave behind is to positively impact the lives of others. Whenever you add value to other people's lives, you are unknowingly leaving footprints on the sands of time that live on, even after your demise."

That's worth thinking about isn't it?
"When I think about "The Life of Pi", I contemplate on how his struggle has defined him. This only shows that in the darkest moment of our life, we will find our purpose, we will know who we are. It does not matter if we have become successful or not; what matters is that we know in our hearts that we have done the best out of the situation. When you have just been in a storm, be proud; you survived stronger and wiser. If you're going through a storm, then know that you will eventually get past it. Go "through" the storm; do not stay in it."

Reflections
Today I reflected on what could have been and what is to be
Today I reflected on the woman in the mirror
It was more than a picture, a dream, a painting
It was real; it was lived by me.
Today I reflected upon the journey
Today I reflected on that path which I traveled
It was challenging, it was sweet, and it was not a dream
It was real; it was life lived by me.
Today I reflected on living the life of that woman in the mirror
Today I stood up boldly and whispered deeply
Today is the day I will paint the picture, stand tall to the challenge,
And reap the sweets.
Today is the day I will conquer it all.

I lost my mother on December 4, 1999 to Gastric Cancer. Ever since then it's been a hard time for me until now. Someone I just met and care about is born on the day she died. Now, when the day comes I just want to celebrate life with a smile!

"It's never foolish to fight to fulfill your dreams! Everyone deserves to find happiness in their lives and be proud of the accomplishments in which they have struggled for! Even if we are to fall short of our goals, we can hold our heads high for we know we have given our best!"

The best gift you can give to a friend is honesty/trust.
To your offender: forgiveness/second chance.
To your boss: loyalty/selfless service.
To your job/career: passion/hard work/commitment.
To your child: education/affection/care.
To your spouse/partner: true love/fidelity.
To all and sundry/the world at large: true love/equal rights and justice.
But most importantly, to your creator i.e. God almighty: your life/time.

I was trying to think of something inspiring to say to my brother, who needed a pick me up.
