I miss you when something good happens, 

because your the one I want to share it with. 

I miss you when something is troubling me, 

because your the one that understands me so well. 

I miss you when I laugh and cry, 

because I know that you are the one 

that makes my laughter grow 

and my tears disappear. 

I miss you all the time, 

but I miss you the most 

when I lay awake at night, 

and think of all the wonderful times 

that we spent with each other 

for those were some of the best 

and most memorable times of my life...

“When a new day begins, dare to smile gratefully.

When there is darkness, dare to be the first to shine a light.

When there is injustice, dare to be the first to condemn it.

When something seems difficult, dare to do it anyway.

When life seems to beat you down, dare to fight back.

When there seems to be no hope, dare to find some.

When you’re feeling tired, dare to keep going.

When times are tough, dare to be tougher.

When love hurts you, dare to love again.

When someone is hurting, dare to help them heal.

When another is lost, dare to help them find the way.

When a friend falls, dare to be the first to extend a hand.

When you cross paths with another, dare to make them smile.

When you feel great, dare to help someone else feel great too.

When the day has ended, dare to feel as you’ve done your best.

Dare to be the best you can – At all times, Dare to be!” 

~ Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free ~

If tomorrow starts without me 

and I’m not here to see…

If the sun should rise 

and find your eyes, 

filled with tears filled for me. 

I wish so much you wouldn't cry 

the way you did today…

While thinking of the many things 

we didn't get to say.

I know how much you love me, 

as much as I love you

.

And each time you think of me, 

I know you’ll miss me too.

If tomorrow starts without me, 

don’t think we are apart…

For every time you think of me, 

I’m right here in your heart.

~ David Romano ~

When we put up walls, 

we've gradually built them brick-by-brick 

with heartaches, broken promises, 

shattered dreams, illness or loss. 

Sometimes, we don't even realize 

we have a wall. 

But then, out of the blue, 

a friend whispers in your ear. 

"Look what I found at the lake today. 

It's a heart of stone. 

Can you do something with it?"

"You have chosen to be who you are,

did you ever think you'd have gotten so far?

The odds have been stacked against you

time after time,

and, if you stopped now, 

well that would just be a crime.

These monsters & demons, you thought 

weren't going to be part of the deal

But, this is your life & this is very real.

This game isn't over, 

the odds might seem steep.

So do what you need to take that leap.

Be who you are & do what you need,

to plant your feet firmly, 

so that you won't fall.

But, if you do, 

jump back up & give it your all.

Always remember you are not alone.

It is time to enter into a new type of zone.

Take that chance 

& leave the negativity behind,

to think always positive, 

if you are so inclined.

And then you will see, 

that by changing your views

You can feel any way that you choose."

~Kim Bayne 

"You cannot convince someone 

to see something that they do not want to see, 

no matter how much you know 

it would improve their lives. 

You have to love and accept them 

exactly as they are today. 

If you cannot do that, 

you have to let them go 

and find their own way, 

in their own time, 

if they ever choose to do so. 

Otherwise, 

you'll be giving them the power 

over your happiness, too."

[Doe Zantamata]

Find someone who isn't afraid 

to admit that they miss you.

Someone who knows that you're not perfect, 

but treats you as you are.

One who gives their heart completely. 

Someone who says I love you and means it. 

Find someone who wouldn't mind 

waking up with you in the morning 

and seeing your wrinkles and your gray hair 

but still falls in love with you 

all over again." 

The longer you have to wait for something, 

the more you will appreciate it when it finally arrives. 

The harder you have to fight for something, 

the more priceless it will become once you achieve it. 

And the more pain you have to endure on your journey, 

the sweeter the arrival at your destination. 

All good things are worth waiting for 

and worth fighting for. 

Take a minute. 

Pause. 

Stop doing, and simply be...

This moment. 

Think, here, now.

 This moment will never occur again. 

This moment is unlike any other, 

and you are of its essence. 

You are not a river, but a pond. 

A still, relaxed pond. 

You are not late for anything, 

nor due to anyone...

You are perfect. 

Look to your right, 

what do you see? 

Look to your left. 

Close your eyes, 

and breathe through your nose...

count each breath, 

for nothing else matters but now, 

here, 

you. 

This is life, 

and you need not worry, 

for you are exactly 

where you need to be...

As we grow up, 

we learn that even the one person 

that wasn't supposed to ever let us down, 

probably will. 

You'll have your heart broken 

and you'll break others' hearts. 

You'll fight with your best friend 

or maybe even fall in love with them, 

and you'll cry because time is flying by. 

So take too many pictures, 

laugh too much, 

forgive freely, 

and love like you've never been hurt. 

Life comes with no guarantees, 

no time outs, 

no second chances. 

you just have to live life to the fullest, 

tell someone what they mean to you 

and tell someone off, speak out, 

dance in the pouring rain, 

hold someone's hand, 

comfort a friend, 

fall asleep watching the sun come up, 

stay up late, 

be a flirt, 

and smile until your face hurts. 

Don't be afraid to take chances 

or fall in love 

and most of all, 

live in the moment 

because every second you spend angry or upset 

is a second of happiness 

you can never get back.

We are not meant to stay wounded. 

We are supposed to move 

through our tragedies and challenges 

and to help each other move 

through the many painful episodes of our lives. 

By remaining stuck in the power of our wounds, 

we block our own transformation. 

We overlook the greater gifts 

inherent in our wounds.. 

the strength to overcome them 

and the lessons that we are meant to receive through them. 

Wounds are the means through which 

we enter the hearts of other people. 

They are meant to teach us 

to become compassionate and wise.
