MARILYN MONROE ON EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON
I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they’re right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together. ~ Marilyn Monroe …
APPRECIATION AND GRATITUDE

DON’T JUDGE
If you judge people, you have no time to love them. ~ Mother Teresa ~ Instead of judging someone, we need to allow ourselves to see the whole person. Often we will find there is so much strength and attraction in a person when we are less judgmental and more loving. We can enjoy the essence…
HOW CAN I BE HAPPY?
Happiness is the place between too little and too much. You can be happy without needing others to agree with you. No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. Happiness is a choice, not a response. People will doubt what you say but they will always believe what you do. Nobody is happy…
BEING THAT MAN
You’ve got to do your own growing, no matter how tall your grandfather was ~ Irish Proverb ~ Figuring out who you are, what you care about, what you believe in, and what you stand for is the most important, and the most difficult, challenge of becoming a man. The challenge of being a…
BE TRUE TO YOURSELF
Nothing is as unique as your own opinion and your own individual personality. Always remain true to yourself. Release your own insecurities. This is a key factor as to why many people conform, because they fear what others may think if they march to the beat of their own drums. Let go of the fear…
FORGIVE PAST HURTS
The act of forgiveness is the act of returning to present time. And that’s why when one has become a forgiving person, and has managed to let go of the past, what they’ve really done is they’ve shifted their relationship with time. ~ Caroline Myss ~ We only have the present, and to live in the…

Love, as a word, is memorialized in countless books, movies, poems, and musical compositions.

BE GREAT!

LETTING GO
The power of losing control is about learning how to let go of trying to control the uncontrollable outcomes and circumstances in our lives. To do anything else is a blueprint for living a life that is driven by stress, fear, and disappointment. I’m not suggesting that we shouldn’t do everything we can to make our dreams and desires…
LIFE IS NOT A RACE
It is because we are different, that each of us is special. Don’t undermine your worth by comparing yourself to others. Never set your goals by what other people believe is important. Only you know what is best for you. By living your life one day at a time, and concentrate on the present, you…
THE PERFECT YOU

LIVE IN YOUR TRUTH
Every wrong decision is in fact a correct decision, but taken at a wrong time so don’t stop, keep walking ahead. Sometimes the littlest things in life change something forever and there will be times when you wish you can go back to how things used to be, but you just can’t because things have…

DAILY BLESSINGS
We must be ever thankful for small miracles, and ever hopeful for receiving greater ones. ~ Elmer Shultz ~ Small miracles are really “blessings” and they’re given to us everyday, we just have to notice them, they’re all around us.

JUST BECAUSE
Do you ever get that feeling that you don’t want to talk to anybody? You don’t want to smile and you don’t want to fake being happy. But at the same time you don’t know exactly what’s wrong, either. There isn’t a way to explain it to someone who doesn’t already understand. If you could…
YOU CAN DO WONDERS IF YOU KEEP TRYING!
