We spend our whole lives worrying about the future, planning for the future, trying to predict the future. As if figuring it out will somehow cushion the blow.
But the future is always changing. The future is the home of our deepest fears and our wildest hopes. But one thing is certain: When it finally reveals itself the future is never the way we imagined it.
Sometimes our body`s signals get messed up and our failsafe goes haywire. Instead of making clots, our body destroys them. And the thing that`s supposed to help us only hurts us. It means we start to bleed and everything shuts down.
We can start over. Every day, we get second chances to become who we always wanted to be. We can leave our past behind or we can learn from it and honor it. We can decide. It`s never too late to change.
It`s human nature to want to fix what`s broken. We may not be able to replicate exactly what we lost. But in its place will grow something new. It`s a long process, but it happens. Slowly, but surely until we have what we need.
Life doesn`t owe us a thing. It just is. Like a river, it goes where it goes. You can try to fight against the current.
Cause this fight was rigged from the beginning. All day, every day, we fight against the current. Sometimes we lose.
Living means that every morning when you wake up you have to choose between seizing what life offers in the moment and forging ahead, no matter the weather.
Forgiveness is a powerful thing [...]. Not only to make the other person feel good, but to heal you.
Don`t let fear keep you quiet. You have a voice, so use it. Speak up. Raise your hands. Shout your answers. Make yourself heard. Whatever it takes, just find your voice, and when you do, fill the damn silence.
They say we can repress our memories. I wonder if we`re just keeping them safe somewhere. Because no matter how painful they are, they are our most valuable possessions. Our lives are built on our mistakes as much as our successes. They made us who we are.
To really be efficient you have to eliminate what doesn`t work. You have to figure out what`s important. And hold on tight to the things that matter most.
It always feels like there is just one person in this world to love. And then you find somebody else, and it just seems crazy that you were ever worried in the first place.
There can be beauty in getting lost. Sometimes, we have to get lost to find each other. And sometimes we find each other, only to get lost all over again.
Some things are just your fault. Some things you screw up and you can`t take back, no matter how hard you try. Some things you pay for the rest of your life.
