Smile. Hug. Happiness.

Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving. Reach out. Share. Smile. Hug. Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself.

Gifted In A Unique And Important Way

We are each gifted in a unique and important way. It is our privilege and our adventure to discover our own special light.

No Guarantees In Life

There are no guarantees in life that you won’t get hurt. It’s all part of our exploration through life. Each emotional experience allows you to grow into the person you are destined to become.

Play The Victim

Don't play the victim. Bad things happen to everyone, so don’t think you’re the only one who is having a rough go of it. Pitying yourself and wanting others to feel sorry for you isn't going to change your situation. So pick yourself up and work towards a better day – even if its only one-step at a time.

Shine Through The Darkness

We all face hard parts of life that seem like there is no end to the obstacles but hardship is a part of life. Everyone possesses his or her own individual light and with that light we shine through the darkness that seeks to overpower us.

Project Angel Food

Heaven On Earth

Every time we remember to say "thank you", we experience nothing less than heaven on earth.

Who Can Turn Your Life Around

The only person who can turn your life around is you.

A Matter Of Choice

Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.

Your Present Blessings

Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every person has plenty; not on your past misfortunes of which all people have some. 

Grace Is For Everyone

Grace is for everyone – not just for those who feel the most deserving. We are worthy to receive it no matter what experiences have been handed to us or ones we may have created on our own. Grace is not doled out based on the severity of the pain. Grace and healing are naturally provided for us; but we have to take the time to receive it.

Walking In The Dark

Faith is walking in the dark until you find the light.

Genuine Honesty

Honesty does not mean simply speaking your mind. Honesty means to be very clear about everything going on inside you. Where there is honesty, feelings become pure and clean. The genuine honesty cultivated within you is what will reach out and touch others.

Until My Last Breath

Smiles and tears. Giggles and laughs. Late night calls and cute photographs. I’ll be there for you until the day of my death. Best friends forever. Until my last breath.

Settling For Less

You’re settling for less if you’re letting someone use and disrespect you because you don’t want to be alone.

Without A Heart

Life without music is like a human without a heart.

Don't Place Limitations On Your Life

Every time you state what you want or believe, you're the first to hear it. It's a message to both you and others about what you think is possible. Don't place limitations on your life.

Never Excuse Yourself

Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody expects of you. Never excuse yourself.

Open Your Heart And Reach Out

Sometimes the pain is too strong to bare and life gets too hard to care. You feel lost and alone and all you want to do is die. Each passing moment feels like a waste of time. What does it matter if you are here or not, no one cares. This is where the problem lies. What you think is true is not. It’s the perception you’ve created in your mind. Open your heart and reach out, because there’s someone out there who cares and you matter to them.

Everything Looks Beautiful

There’s nothing like beauty of heart as it makes everything look beautiful.

Don't Feel Sad

Don’t feel sad over someone who gave up on you, feel sorry for them because they gave up on someone who would have never given up on them.

A Beautiful Life

A beautiful life is closer than we think. It’s already here if we choose to see it.  

Everyone Tries To Be Strong

Lets face it, everyone tries to be strong and act like nothing ever goes bad in their life, but in reality we all struggle and need help once in a while. Its okay to cry, laugh, and ask for help because no one is perfect.

Your World Opens Up

Maturity is when your world opens up and you realize that you are not the center of it.

Off All The Judgments We Pass

Of all the judgments we pass in life, none is more important than the judgment we pass on ourselves.

Stretch Your Heart & Expand Your Love

Today, see if you can stretch your heart and expand your love so that it touches not only those to whom you can give it easily, but also to those who need it so much.

Cherish The Moments

No situation is permanent and change is constant, if you believe it, you will cherish the moments you are given and not take them for granted.

You Were Your Only Competition

Life is one long continuous race. It is only when you reach the finish line do you realize you were your only competition.
