If you want to change your life, first you have to change your mind then change your perspective.
In the end our destinations are all the same, this is inevitable, but our journeys and experiences are what will define us, and stamp our names on the pages of time. Make your journey the stuff legends are written from.
Those who aim to gain the praise of others set their sights too low. Be who you are, stand up for what you believe, and do the right thing for the right reasons and eventually their perception will bend to your will.
It is hard for one person to do one great thing to change the world, but for many to do one small thing each, the world can change in the blink of an eye.
If you can change one life for the better, if you can love one person unconditionally, if you can sleep with your conscience clear, if you can face each day with your head held high, then you are a true success, for this is not measured by the dollars in your pocket, the car in your garage, or the clothes on your back, but by the actions that you extend towards others.
They say you learn something new everyday, but the days when you learn something new about yourself can be the most difficult, and also the most rewarding.
Somewhere in the process of losing my mind, I found myself.
If you do good things expecting rewards then you are doing them for the wrong reasons. There is no guarantee in life that says if you are a good person good things will come to you, there is only the knowledge in yourself that you did the right thing. Aside from this, no promise can be made.
Life isn't always fun, and it isn't always fair, but it is always changing. Adapt to it, and you will overcome, fight it, and you will be burried.
Beauty, money, and status will always be trumped by honesty, honor, and integrity. For these things cannot fade with time or be taken away, only given away willingly.
You can't let the events of your past dictate the outcome of your future. Only you can control what is going to happen.
Family is not only something you are born into, but something you aquire through your life. They are the ones you can count on when the chips are down, and your back is against the wall. They are always there, even if you haven't talked for a while, or hung out. They are the ones who stand behind you right or wrong,... no matter what. You can fight amongst yourselves, but no one else better step to you.
