If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or objects.
Although I live in a city where people have stopped leaving and hoping, I cannot stop to dream for the endless possibilities and beauties that this world has to offer.
One of the best lessons you can learn in life is to master how to remain calm.
God has a plan for your life. The enemy has a plan for your life. Just be wise enough to know which one to battle and which one to embrace.
We are not here in this life just to waste time, grow old and die. God wants us to grow and achieve our potential.
“There will be very painful moments in your life that will change your entire world in a matter of minutes. These moments will change you. Let them make you STRONGER, SMARTER, and KINDER. But don’t you go and become someone that you’re not. Cry. Scream if you have to. Then you straighten out that crown and keep moving.”
Courage is knowing it might hurt, and doing it anyway. Stupidity is the same. And that's why life is hard.
The Lordś way is not hard. Life is hard, not the Gospel. ...Life is hard for all of us, but life is also simple. We have only two choices. We can either follow the Lord and be endowed with His power and have peace, light, or joy, or we can go some other way, any other way, whatever other way, and go it alone--without His support, without His power, without guidance, in darkness, turmoil, doubt, grief, and despair. And I ask, which way is easier?
"I am not the same, having seen the moon shine on the other side of the world."
“You will one day experience joy that matches this pain. You will cry euphoric tears at the Beach Boys, you will stare down at a baby’s face as she lies asleep in your lap, you will make great friends, you will eat delicious foods you haven’t tried yet, you will be able to look at a view from a high place and not assess the likelihood of dying from falling. There are books you haven’t read yet that will enrich you, films you will watch while eating extra-large buckets of popcorn, and you will dance and laugh and have sex and go for runs by the river and have late-night conversations and laugh until it hurts. Life is waiting for you. You might be stuck here for a while, but the world isn’t going anywhere. Hang on in there if you can. Life is always worth it.”
So much in life depends on our ATTITUDE. The way we choose to see things and respond to others makes all the difference.
