Things I've Found To Be True

1. It is easier to find satisfaction and happiness in helping others and to mean something to someone else, than it is to help yourself.

2. Everyone is just as scared and self- conscious as you are.

3. If you really want something and you put your heart and mind; then you can get it if you work hard enough. 

4. You can never make someone love you through effort and changes. 

5. Treat people the way you would like to be treated. It doesn't matter how people treated you in the past. There are no excuses in being kind.

6. Be honest. Everyone is telling the same lies because they are scared. Lying will never get you anywhere that good.

7. Show empathy and compassion...  We are all fighting for a good life. Everyone is just trying to do their best, everyone makes mistakes, and everyone is a bad person sometimes.

8. It is okay to love people without any reasons at all. Your heart chooses who it wants; it is out of your control.

9. Embrace your desire to be close to someone;  to share yourself with them... to make them happy... How is that a bad thing? Being in a relationship with someone doesn't have to mean that you own them. It doesn't have to be a world in which you can only want, desire and touch that one person. A relationship is a commitment with mutual support so why would you want someone you love to not find other things and people that make them happy? If you trust them, then believe them when they say "You're the one I want to spend my days with".

10. Not everyone has the same opinion about everything. So even if there are some people who wouldn't like you, there are always people who do.

11. If you love what you are doing, you'll never get bored. Same with if you love someone, then you'll never get tired.

12. The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things.

13. Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.

14. Life is not that bad at all. If you stop exaggerating.

15. Not all those who wander are lost. Even the weariest river winds somewhere safe to sea.

16. Mistakes are easier to live with when we know we're not alone.

17. To live is the rarest thing in the world, most people exist, that is all.

18. Twenty years from now you will be more dissapointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

One day your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure its worth watching. :)
