Maybe our mistakes are what make our fate. Without them, what would shape our lives? Perhaps if we never veered off course, we wouldn’t fall in love, or have babies, or be who we are. After all, seasons change, so do cities. People come into your life and people go. But it’s comforting to know the ones you love are always in your heart. And if you’re very lucky, only a plane ride away.
I was taught that when you have something good, what you’re supposed to do is hang on to it. You know? You hang on to it with both hands. And if someone tries to take it from you, what you do is make sure they pry it from your cold, dead fingers.
“Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.”
G.K. Chesterton (via julie911)(via quote-book)
Don’t be afraid for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.
+Isaiah 41:10+
The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly.
“Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved. It is the most trying times that our real character is shaped and revealed.”
Helen Keller
We’re all addicted to something that takes away the pain.
If something is not happening for you, it doesn’t mean it’s never going to happen; it means you’re not ready for it.
Once in awhile, right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairy tale.
Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.
