“Success comes in many forms, and may not be what society dictates as success.”

Everybody’s born with some different thing at the core of their existence. And that thing, whatever it is, becomes like a heat source that runs each person from the inside. I have one too, of course. Like everybody else. But sometimes it gets out of hand. It swells or shrinks inside me, and it shakes me up. What I’d really like to do is find a way to communicate that feeling to another person. But I can’t seem to do it. They just don’t get it. Of course, the problem could be that I’m not explaining it very well, but I think it’s because they’re not listening very well. They pretend to be listening, but they’re not, really. So I get worked up sometimes, and I do some crazy things.

How to love a woman.
“You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She’s not perfect - you aren’t either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her heart. So don’t hurt her, don’t change her, don’t analyze and don’t expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she’s not there. -Bob Marley
Keep reminding yourself
When you feel like feeling sorry for yourself, stop. Remind yourself that self-pity won’t get you anything worth having.
When you feel like running away from your problems, stop, turn around and face those problems. Choose to become stronger and to create real value by working your way through them.
Is there work to be done, and you don’t feel like making the effort? Remind yourself that in the long run, getting the job done will feel much better than endlessly putting it off.
Living with intention, discipline and focus is not all that complicated or difficult. It’s a matter of reminding yourself that it’s your best option.
You are absolutely capable of creating and experiencing the very best life you can imagine. You just have to keep reminding yourself to keep choosing it.
A life that’s positive, successful and authentically fulfilling comes from the quality of the choices you make in every moment. The life you live is the life you choose, so remind yourself, again and again, to choose the best.
— Ralph Marston

It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.
Thomas Sowell (via thinksquad)
“
Stop letting others define you! Stop letting others dilute you! You weren’t created to live their life; you were created to live yours - so LIVE it! You can reignite that fire within and bring the passion back into your goals, dreams, ambitions, careers, and relationships by reclaiming control of your own life. Be unapologetically YOU!
Steve Maraboli (via myquotelibrary)
“
For what it’s worth: it’s never too late to be whoever you want to be. I hope you live a life you’re proud of, and if you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.
