• "Don't let anyone else write your story. Remember that whatever you go through in your life, you are the most important narrator in your story. Don't let anyone else tell you otherwise. -JD “The deepest secret is that life is not a process of discovery, but a process of creation. You are not discovering yourself, but creating yourself anew. Seek therefore, not to find out Who You Are, but seek to determine Who You Want to Be.” ― Neale Donald Walsch "Watch your thoughts; they become your words. Watch your words; they become your actions. Watch your actions; they become your habits. Watch your habits; they become your character. Watch your character; they become your destiny." -Frank Outlaw "Sometimes it takes some time to know who your true friends are. True friends will be there at the end of the day not judging you for your flaws or by the mistakes you have made but by your potential and your willingness to be there for them when times are hard. People come and go in our lives but it's always the good friends who are there when you least expect it. When your guards are down and you're struggling through lifes pain." -JD "When we're incomplete, we're always searching for somebody to complete us. When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that we're still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on--series polygamy--until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program for eventual failure every relationship we enter." — Tom Robbins "If you treat an individual as he is, he will remain how he is. But if you treat him as if he were what he ought to be and could be, he will become what he ought to be and could be" -Goethe "We are going through a time of change but even though we're searching for our own place in the world, we know that when the tears fall or the smile spreads across our face, we'll come to each other because no matter where this crazy world takes us, nothing will ever change so much to the point where we're not still friends." -JD "The greatest of all mistakes is to do nothing because you think you can only do a little." -Zig Ziglar "There are moments which mark your life. Moments when you realize nothing will ever be the same, and time is divided into two parts- before this, and after this." - Quote from the1998 movie Fallen Are you bored with life? Then throw yourself into some work you believe in with all your heart, live for it, die for it, and you will find happiness that you had thought could never be yours. -Dale Carnegie "One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain." -Bob Marley “Who among us does not have flaws? Who does not bear scars? Each of our journeys unique. Our adversities leave upon us lasting marks. They show us all that we have overcome. Life; a constant struggle, and by choosing not to give in, we rise above.""
