Life 61.....

You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Appreciate your friends. Continue to learn. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is. - Mary Anne Radmacher

Never look back unless you are planning to go that way. -Henry David Thoreau

What if evil doesn’t really exist? What if evil is something dreamed up by man, and there is nothing to struggle against except our own limitations? The constant battle between our will, our desires, and our choices? -Libba Bray

2 A.M. You know. The person you can call at two a.m. and, no matter what, you can count on them. Even if they're alseep or it's cold or you need to be bailed out of jail... they'll come for you. It's like the highest level of friendship. -Sarah Dessen, What Happened To Goodbye

If you really want to do something, you'll find a way. If you don't, you'll find an excuse. -Jim Rohn

"Five seagulls are sitting on a dock. One of them decides to fly away. How many seagulls are left?"
"Well...  four."
"No," he responded. "There are still five. Deciding to fly away and actually flying away are two very different things. Listen to me carefully. Despite popular belief to the contrary, there is absolutely no power in intention. The seagull may intend to fly away, may decide to do so, may talk with other seagulls about how wonderful it is to fly, but until the seagull flaps his wings and takes air, he is still on the dock. There's no difference between that gull and all the others. Likewise, there is no difference in the person who intends to do things differently and the one who never thinks about it in the first place." -Andy Andrews, The Noticer

If you’re stuck between two options, flip a coin. It works, not because it solves your problem, but while the coin is in the air, you’ll know what your heart is really hoping for.

It's so easy to get caught up in what people expect of you. Sometimes, you can just lose yourself. -Sarah Dessen, Dreamland

It doesn’t happen all at once.  You become.  It takes a long time.   – Margery Williams

There is nothing like looking, if you want to find something. You certainly usually find something, if you look, but it is not always quite the something you were after. -JRR Tolkien

You cannot make yourself feel something you do not feel, but you can make yourself do right in spite of your feelings. -Pearl Buck

We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations. -Anais Nin

When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionable. -Walt Disney

If you want to be happy, be.   –Leo Tolstoy

Life is a balance of holding on, letting go, and knowing when to do which of the two.

People come and go-- they'll drift in and out of your life, almost like characters in your favorite book. When you finally close the cover, the characters have told their story and you start up again with another book, complete with new characters and adventures. Then you find yourself focusing on the new ones, not the ones from the past. -Nicholas Sparks, The Rescue

Sometimes you just outgrow people. Don't try to fix or repair, just accept it and move on.

I felt like I'd been living underground, and for a moment, I'd been given this glimpse of the sky. Once you've seen that, how can you go back where you came from? -Jodi Pocult, Handle With Care
