Cheap-az, Lockedup-az, Goodfornothingaz, Lazyaz, and especially his third
cousin Beatinyoaz. Wait on your Boaz and make sure he respects Yoaz.

opponent.
Don’t take anything personally. Even
when a situation seems so personal, even if others insult you directly, it has
nothing to do with you. Their point of view and opinion come from all the programming

something big out of something so little because you have the need to be right
and make everybody else wrong. -don Miguel Ruiz

The things you hope for the most are
the things that destroy you in the end. -David Levithan
Take a deep breath. It’s just a bad
day, not a bad life.
The most important kind of freedom
is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You trade
in your sense for an act. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange,
put on a mask. There can’t be any large-scale revolutions until there’s a
personal revolution, on an individual level. It’s got to happen inside first.

are wasting your time. -Will Smith

there will be no one else. There will always be someone else. You’ve got to
believe you are worth more than being repeatedly hurt by someone who doesn’t
really careand believe that someone will see what you are really worth and
treat you the way you should be treated.
You cannot make a mistake, you can
only make a decision that will be your next best step. -Neale Donald Walsch
Take a picture of your face and
remember that in ten years time you will be amazed at how gorgeous you were. Be
amazed now. -Jennifer Pastiloff

you will become are three completely different people. -Robert Tew

actions be unlimited. -Robert Tew

problems, sometimes you just have to face them.

moment. ¨In that one moment, I don’t think about my problems, ¨I think of all
the options I have. I think about all the years¨ ahead of me, I think about all
the awesome people I will ¨meet, I think about all the adventures, about love,¨
about all the places I have yet to discover.¨ In that moment, I believe I will
be happy one day. I know happiness is out there. I have hope.
There is ample time for you to be
who you want to be. Don’t allow yourself to settle for less than what you think
you deserve. Despite the struggles that you might be facing, never let go or
give up; put God in the mist and exercise faith in him. -unknown
Everything is going to be alright.
Maybe not today but eventually.
Sometimes the one who has been there
for everyone else needs someone to be there for them.
It’s not happiness that makes us
grateful, but gratefulness that makes us happy.
The most precious gift you can give
someone is the gift of your time and attention.
The Universe added one more day in
your life today; not necessarily because you need it, but because someone else
might need you.
People are attracted to you by what
they see in you; they remain attracted to you by what you see in yourself.
-Mark Amend
Don’t ever count on someone else to
give you happiness, make your own.
You can’t make them love you, but
you can show them what they’re missing out on.
The most undeveloped property in the
world lies between two ears. -Susan Gale
No matter how much you revisit the
past there’s nothing new to see. -Robert Tew
