come along and run with me.
You’ve been halfway living your life for too long. When it’s time to die, go ahead and die, and when it’s time to live, live. Don’t sort-of-maybe live, but live like you’re going all out, like you’re not afraid.

you must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment.

sometimes letting things go is an act of far greater power than defending or hanging on.

i align myself with people who support my growth. if you meet someone whose soul is not aligned with yours, send them love and move along.

here is what i propose: just for today, commit to simply get through. to do it imperfectly. you don’t have to be martha stewart or a supermodel. you don’t have to squeeze into the jeans that fit you in your 20s. pick one thing that you feel stuck on, and take a step to move through it. even if it is as simple as a phone call or a walk around your neighborhood. or putting a flower in your hair and saying “thank you” when someone compliments how pretty you look today.

smile tho’ your heart is aching,
smile even though it’s breaking,
when there are clouds in the sky- you’ll get by if you
smile through your fear and sorrow,
smile and maybe tomorrow
you’ll see the sun come shining through for you.
light up your face with gladness,
hide ev’ry trace of sadness,
altho’ a tear may be ever so near,
that’s the time you must keep on trying,
smile- what’s the use of crying,
you’ll find that life is still worthwhile,
if you just smile. — { smile, charlie chaplin }

happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude.

each new day becomes a work of art to be experienced when you take steps to surround yourself with beauty. the anticipation you feel, knowing as you do that the transition from one phase of the day to the next holds the promise of simple beauty, will make addressing your daily duties into a joy to be savored.

no I’m not gonna let the grass
grow under my feet
i got lots of things to do
and people to meet
standing still is
not my style
feeling like a
little child
i’m not gonna let the grass
grow under my feet — { under my feet, amanda duncan }

men often become what they believe themselves to be. if i believe i cannot do something, it makes me incapable of doing it. but when i believe i can, then i acquire the ability to do it even if i didn’t have it in the beginning.
