But there isn’t enough time to stop it. So you close your eyes and hope for the best.

It's a lot harder to get someone OUT of your life than it is to let them IN, so take your time!

Ever notice how when you’re depressed or emotionally drained, that your heartbeat is stronger than normal? At times it seems as if it’s going to beat right through your chest.

And eventually, it will beat strong and love again.

What's more painful than being hurt by the one you love the most is being loved by the one you've hurt the most.

Most people love you for who you pretend to be. To keep their love, you keep pretending and performing. You get to love your pretense. It's true, we're locked in an image, an act. And, the sad thing is, people get so used to their image that they grow attached to their masks. They love their chains. They forget all about who they really are. And, if you try to remind them, they hate you for it. They feel like you're trying to steal their most precious possession.

Value the people who love, respect and trust you the most, and forget about the negative and toxic people who don't deserve you.

Love is not about "It's your fault", but "I'm sorry". Not "Where are you?", but "I'm right here". Not "How could you?", but "I understand". Not "I wish you were", but "I'm thankful you are".

Find someone who isn't afraid to admit they miss you. Someone who knows you're not perfect but treats you as if you are. Someone who couldn't imagine losing you. Someone who gives their heart to you completely. Someone who says I love you and proves it. Last but not least, find someone who wouldn't mind waking up to you in the morning, seeing your wrinkles and grey hair but still falls in love with you all over again.

Love's hard, especially for those who dont know how to trust, how to listen and how to forgive again and again.

Our days are happier when we give people a bit of our heart rather than a piece of our mind.

Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep. Wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you're just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky he is to have you. The one who turns to his friends and says, 'that's her.'

As we grow up, we realize it becomes less important to have more friends and more important to have real ones.

Just because a person smiles all the time, doesn't mean their life is perfect. That smile is a symbol of hope and strength.

The shortest word for me is I, the sweetest word for me is LOVE, but the only word for me is YOU.

An EX should stay an EX. They're an EXample of false love and an EXplanation of why you deserve better.

Trust is very fragile and has to be really taken care of when given to you. It should never be given to everybody just like a smile that can be given to everyone. Because once it’s broken, hundreds of smiles won’t fix it.

You'll never get over a relationship until you accept that the relationship is over.

When things fall apart, consider the possibility that life knocked it down on purpose. Not to bully you, or to punish you, but to prompt you to build something that better suits your personality and your purpose. Sometimes things fall apart so better things can fall together.

Don't bring baggage from an ex-relationship into your next relationship...unless you want it to be a short trip.

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.

Marriage is not a love affair. A love affair is a totally different thing. A marriage is a commitment to that which you are. That person is literally your other half. And you and the other are one. A love affair isn’t that. That is a relationship of pleasure, and when it gets to be unpleasurable, it’s off. But a marriage is a life commitment, and a life commitment means the prime concern of your life. If marriage is not the prime concern, you are not married.

Anyone who judges you by the kind of car you drive or shoes you wear isn’t someone worth impressing!

Life is just like painting. Draw the lines with hope. Erase the errors with tolerance. Dip the brush with lots of patience. And color it with LOVE.

Whenever You're in an Argument With Someone You Love.

In life people are going to want you, need you, use you, take you, love you, hate you, play you, judge you, save you and break you, but in the end... that's what makes you!

Life is short and temporary. Don't stress just because you can't get what you want. Love and appreciate what you have.

The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not healing, not curing... that is a friend who cares.

Remember there’s a PURPOSE to every FAILED relationship. The purpose isn’t to encourage you to lower your expectations, but to raise your standards.

Plan your relationships around your life… Not your life around your relationships.

Sometimes you have to love people from a distance and give them the space and time to get their minds right before you let them back into your life.

When you plant lettuce, if it does not grow well, you don't blame the lettuce. You look into the reasons it is not doing well. It may need fertilizer, or more water, or less sun. You never blame the lettuce. Yet if we have problems with our friends or our family, we blame the other person. But if we know how to take care of them, they will grow well, like lettuce. Blaming has no positive effect at all, nor does trying to persuade using reason and arguments. That is my experience. No blame, no reasoning, no argument, just understanding. If you understand, and you show that you understand, you can love, and the situation will change. -Thích Nhat Hanh.

Eventually, you’ll meet someone right for you. And whether you share a minute, a month, or a lifetime with them is uncertain. But the fact that you found that person, even if for a moment, means more than the lifespan life allows you to have with them.

It’s really painful to say goodbye to someone that you don't want to let go, but it’s even more painful to ask someone to stay if they never wanted to stay.

Love without fear. Trust without question. Need without demand. Want without restriction, and desire without inhibition.

Don't give up on love because there is always someone who loves you. Even if it's not the person you were hoping or wishing for.

God, I would like to know what Heaven and Hell are like.

Cheating is a choice, not a mistake.

Looking for love can feel like searching for a missing piece of your heart... You will keep looking for that one special person who will complete you, until you finally realize that person is you. It's better to share a full heart with another person, rather than one that has a piece missing that they can never fill.

Letting go means trading something that's not working for freedom, and for the possibility of receiving something in the future that really, truly, does. Let go of emotions, relationships, and situations that you know are not allowing you to be happy.

If you know someone is already taken, please respect their relationship. Don't be the reason they end up single.

Love is the most expensive gift. Make sure you don't give it to someone that's cheap.

Everybody deserves someone who makes them look forward to tomorrow.

Don't fall in love with someone who says the right things, fall in love with someone who does the right things.

The best gift a man can give to his woman is his time, his attention and his love.

Do not waste your life on someone who doesn’t value your precious time or feelings. Remember life is short to be anything but HAPPY.

Poster by our friends at Positive Med: “He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and don’t expect for more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had.

You are here to serve. You are here to inspire. You are here to love. You are here to live your truth.

Sometimes the one who has been there for everyone else needs someone to be there for them.

Not everything in life including our relationships will be something that we will be able to hold on to forever, and this is something that we have to learn to accept. Some people will come in your life, just to teach you how to let go, don't resist; it isn't always about giving up, sometimes it's about learning how to move on.

”Someday, we’ll forget the hurt, the reason we cried and who caused us pain. We will finally realize that the secret of being free is not revenge, but letting things unfold in their own way and own time. After all, what matters is not the first, but the last chapter of our life which shows how well we ran the race. So smile, laugh, forgive, believe, and love all over again.”

When someone wants to be with you, they’ll be with you. Period. There won’t be excuses, drama, shadiness or uncertainty.

There Comes a Time in Your Life When You Must Decide.

It is not my experience that we are here to fix the world, that we are here to change anything at all. I think we are here so the world can change us. And if part of that change is that the suffering of the world moves us to compassion, to awareness, to sympathy, to love, that is a very good thing.

We often give gifts to show our love because we are troubled by real love. Buying diamonds is not evidence of everlasting devotion. Commitment, trust, understanding - these are indications of devotion. Gift-giving is by definition transactional. But love is not a transaction. Love is transcendent - it transcends language and material possessions and can be shown only by our thoughts, actions, and intentions.

Heartbreaks will last as long as you want, cut as deep as you allow them to go. The challenge is not how to survive heartaches but to learn and grow from them.

People will love you, people will hate you, and none of it will have anything to do with you.

Learn to love the person who is willing to love you at present. Forget the person in the past and learn to thank them for hurting you which lead you to the right person you have right now.

Appreciate those who love you. Help those who need you. Forgive those who hurt you. Forget those who leave you.

Don't let past relationships ruin your future happiness, scars remind us of where we've been, not where we're going.

It's better to live your own life imperfectly than to imitate someone else's perfectly.

Never let pride ruin everything. It's better to lose your pride than to lose the love of your life because of your pride.

Some people are training wheels in our lives. When are you going to take the training wheels off? Yes, LIFE is scary, but sometimes the very people you hold onto with all your might are not the right people to hold onto any longer.

Leaving someone who treats you bad doesn't mean you stop loving them, it just means you started loving YOU.

Love isn't perfect. It isn't a fairytale or a storybook, and it doesn't always come easy. Love is overcoming obstacles, facing challenges, fighting to be together, holding on and never letting go. Love is work, but most of all, love is realizing that every hour, every minute, every second of it was worth it because you did it... together.

Keep people in your life that truly love you, motivate you, encourage you and make you happy. If you have people who do none of them, let them go.

Sometimes we just have to let go of someone who matters to us... not because we have to, but because it’s the right thing to do. But let us remember that we can’t force anyone to love us. We can’t beg someone to stay when they want to leave and be with someone else. This is what love is all about. However, the end of love is not the end of life. It should be the beginning of understanding that everything leaves for a reason, but leaves with a lesson.

Your time is precious. Don't waste it on someone who doesn't realize that YOU are, too.

When you try something new, you don't have to be perfect. In fact, you don't even have to be very good. If you love it, you'll want to do more of it, and you'll get better and better over time. A lot of people don't start things because they see how good other people are at doing them. But those other people probably weren't all that good when they first started, either. Talent is reserved for the few, but skill is open to anyone who takes the time to keep at something and make the effort to improve.

Love and relationships are never like the movies no matter how much we want them to be. But when something beautiful ends, for whatever reason, it's most important not to be disappointed that it's over, but glad that it happened at all.

Today’s Affirmation: I am love. I inhale love and exhale love. I surround myself with positive people. I am a mirror reflection of those around me. I can only attract love, because opposite magnets repel one another.

Don’t hold on because you think 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 care...and believe that someone will see what you are really worth and treat you the way you should be treated.

If you love someone you say it, you say it right then, out loud, or the moment just... passes you by.

No relationship is perfect, ever. There are always some ways you have to bend, to compromise, to give something up in order to gain something greater.

The sky isn't always blue. The sun doesn't always shine. So it's okay to fall apart sometimes, but always remember to get up again.

Be grateful for friends who make you smile without even saying a word.

We have three types of friends in life: Friends for a reason, friends for a season, and friends for a lifetime.

Life changes every minute of everyday. You lose friends. You gain friends. You realize your friend wasn’t ever really your friend and the person you used to hate can make a really good friend. You look for love. You find love. You lose love. You realize all along that you’ve been loved. You laugh. You cry. You laugh so hard that you cry. You do this, you do that. You really wish you hadn’t done that. You then learn from that and you’re glad that you did. You have your ups. You have your downs. You see good movies. You see bad movies. You wonder if your life is just a big movie. You look at others and wish you were them. You then realize who they are and glad that you’re you. You love life.

The best kind of love is the one that makes you a better person, without changing you into someone other than yourself.

Never be reckless with someone else's heart, and don't tolerate those who are reckless with yours.

You should never sacrifice three things: your family, your heart, and your dignity.

“Unforgiveness is choosing to stay trapped in a jail cell of bitterness, serving time for someone else’s crime.” Click HERE for original poster. Read Conversations With God : An Uncommon Dialogue (Book 1)

Trust your intution. If it feels wrong, it probably is.

I've been walked on, used and forgotten and I don't regret one moment of it, because in those moments I've learned a lot. I've learned who I can trust and can't. I've learned the meaning of friendship. I've learned how to tell when people are lying and when they're sincere. I've learned how to be myself, and appreciate the truly great people in my life as they arrive.

Create your own happiness first before you can share it with someone else. -Daniel Gilbert Read Conversations With God : An Uncommon Dialogue (Book 1)

Don't be mad when someone else starts to appreciate the person you took for granted. What you won't do, someone else will.

Don’t try so hard looking for a perfect partner. It’s just this simple…be with people who know how lucky they are when they have you.

Understanding is much deeper than knowledge. There are many who know you, but very few who understand you.

Live to create love, art, music, peace and poetry. Bring to the world what no one else has and find passion in it.

Here's a lovely poster illustrating the differences between the ego (false self) and the soul (true self). Please share.

People will inevitably want you more after you find someone else - don't sacrifice what you have just because they missed their opportunity.

Henceforth, I will look upon all things with love and I will be born again. I will love the sun for it warms my bones; yet I will love the rain for it cleanses my spirit. I will love the light for it shows me the way; yet I will love the darkness for it shows me the stars. I will welcome happiness because it enlarges my heart; yet I will endure sadness because it opens my soul. I will acknowledge rewards because they are my due; yet I will welcome obstacles because they are my challenge. I will greet this day with love in my heart.

30 Days of Carrying My Wife: A Story of Love and Strength Through Cancer.

Good friends help you to find important things when you have lost them...your smile, your hope, and your courage.

The best things in life are the people we love, the places we’ve seen, and the memories we’ve made along the way.

When you truly love someone, age, weight, height, distance, and salary are just numbers.

People can be cruel, and they will be. People can hurt you, break your heart and they will. But only you can let them keep hurting you.

If you can no longer keep a conversation going, don't expect then to be able to keep the relationship going.

There are times when strangers are like family, and family are like strangers.

If someone sticks by your side through your worst times, then they definitely deserve to be with you through your good times.

Just because you miss someone, doesn’t mean you need them back in your life. Missing is just a part of moving on.

Until you let go of all the toxic people in your life. You will never be able to grow into your fullest potential. Let them go so you can grow.

How to Be Stress Free 1. Believe in Karma 2. Don’t worry about a thing. Keep your intentions strong, and don’t let anything shake them. Keep your energy positive. Only think and act out of love and kindness, and know that it will all work out. It will.

Someday, you'll forget the hurt, the reason you cried and who caused your pain. You will finally realize that the secret of being free is not revenge...but letting things unfold in their own way and own time. After all, what matters is not the first...but the last chapter of your life which shows how well you ran the race. So smile, laugh, forgive, believe and love all over again.

Don't ever be afraid to show who you really are, because as long as you are happy with yourself, no one else's opinion matters.

At the end of life, what really matters is not what we bought but what we built; not what we got but what we shared; not our competence but our character; and not our success, but our significance. Live a life that matters. Live a life of love…

Always remember that you can never find a perfect partner to love you the way you wanted, only a person who's willing to love you more than what you are. Someone who'll accept you for what you can and can't be. And that's even better than perfect.

You know it’s true love when all you want is for that person to be happy, even if you’re not a part of their happiness.

You can never be happy if you’re trapped in the past and fearful of the future. Living in the present is the only way to be happy.

In life people are going to want you, need you, use you, take you, love you, hate you, play you, judge you, save you and break you…but in the end that's what makes you!

Life is just like painting. Draw the lines with hope. Erase the errors with tolerance. Dip the brush with lots of patience. And color it with LOVE.

Love doesn't hurt. Lying, cheating and screwing with people's feelings and emotions hurts.

Remember, happiness starts with you. Not with your relationship, or your friends, or your job. But with you!

To those of you who have pushed me, thank you. Without you I wouldn't have fallen. To those of you who laughed at me, thank you. Without you I wouldn’t have cried. To those of you who just couldn’t love me, thank you. Without you I wouldn’t have known real love. To those of you who hurt my feelings, thank you. Without you I wouldn’t have felt them. To those of you who left me lonely, thank you. Without you I wouldn’t have discovered myself. But it is to those of you who thought I couldn’t do it; It is you I thank the most, Because without you I wouldn’t have tried.

Stop looking for a partner. Focus on your goals and rebuilding your life. The right person will eventually find their way to you.

Sometimes the person who has been there for everyone else needs someone to be there for them.

Don't compare your new relationship with your old ones, that's unfair to your new partner and a disaster waiting to happen.

There are two things you shouldn't waste your time on: things that don’t matter and people that think you don’t matter.

Remember, when you're truly in love. Being faithful isn't a sacrifice...it's a joy.

Don't you ever regret knowing someone in your life, good people will give you happiness, bad people will give you experience, while the worst people will give you a lesson and the best people will always give you memories.

Some people come into your life as blessings. Others come into your life as lessons.

Flatter me, and I may not believe you. Criticize me, and I may not like you. Ignore me, and I may not forget you. Encourage me, and I will not forget you. Love me and I may be forced to love you.

Just because you have a past with someone, doesn't mean you should have a future with them.

Remember, that a relationship is only as strong as the two people in it.

The best gift you could ever give someone is your time because you’re giving them something that you’ll never get back.

You can only push away someone for so long before they realize they’re better without you.

Life as we know it can change in a blink of an eye. Unlikely friendships can blossom, important careers can be tossed aside and a long lost hope can be rekindled. Still, we should be grateful for whatever changes life throws at us. Because all too soon, the day will come when there are no changes left.

Love doesn’t hurt. Loving the wrong person does.

When two friends become lovers, that's ordinary. When two ex-lovers become friends, that's maturity.

Don't you ever let someone make you feel ugly, because no matter what, you're beautiful with or without them.

You were born to be real, not to be perfect. You're here to be you, not to be what someone else wants you to be.

The kids didn't push and shove each other. Instead, they held hands and ran together, as a group, to the basket. Then, they sat down and shared the fruit. The anthropologist was surprised. He asked them,.

I am thankful to all those difficult people in my life, they have shown me exactly who I do not want to be!

Never do things for someone because you're afraid to lose them. Do it because you can and because you love them.

Sometimes it takes being away from someone for a while to realize how much you really need them in your life.

Find arms that will hold you at your weakest times, eyes that will see your beauty at your ugliest times, and a heart that will love you at your worst.

The minute someone decides to walk out of your life, that is the same moment in which the opportunity and space opens up for someone who actually deserves your love, to finally walk in.

Sometimes someone has to hurt you deep enough just to let you know that they're not the right one for you. Learn your lesson and move on.

Two incomplete people can't complete one another. Instead, one will deplete the other.

You're going to lose some people on the way, but remember that not everyone is intended to go with you!

People don't cheat by chance, they cheat by choice.

You were born with the ability to change someone’s life, don’t ever waste it.

Just because you were not right for someone doesn't mean you will never be right for anyone.

You’ll never see the great things ahead of you, if you keep looking at the bad things behind you.

The only things you can take with you when you leave this world are the things you’ve packed inside your heart.

If you have to convince someone you're right for them, then maybe they aren't right for you.

When someone hurts you, you learn to be stronger. When someone leaves you, you learn to be more independent.

Find someone who will change your life, not just your relationship status.

Love is not about how much you say 'I love you,' but how much you can prove that it's true.

There comes a point in your life when you realize who matters, who never did, and who always will. So, don’t worry about people from your past because there is a reason why they never made it to your future.

Waiting for someone else to make you happy is the surest way to be sad.

When you open up to love, you must be open to getting hurt as well. If you expect to love someone, and not have disappointment every now and then, then you don’t want love, you want something perfect. And good luck finding that.

We hurt people that love us and love people that hurt us.

Someone else is happy with less than what you have.

It's sweet when someone remembers every detail about you. Not because you keep reminding them, but because they pay attention to you.

Being in a relationship is a full-time job, don't think about applying if you're not ready.

Sometimes you need to be yourself so that you'll know who's going to leave and who will stay.

Love with your heart, not your eyes.

Nothing is permanent. Especially people. Don’t have your hopes high, friends become strangers, lovers become friends. And people leave.

Remember the friends who were there for you when you needed them. They're your true friends.

Never lower your standards to keep someone, if they're not making you happy, then find someone who will.

Everyone needs someone to make them feel like tomorrow is more than just another day.

Never allow loneliness to drive you back into the arms of someone you know you don't belong with.

It's so easy to believe someone when they're telling you exactly what you want to hear.

Staying with someone who doesn't appreciate you is like standing in quick sand. You're just sinking deeper, making it harder to get out.

It’s not hard to find someone who tells you they love you, its hard to find someone who actually means it.

Once you have learned to love, you will have learned to live.

Fall in love with someone who truly deserves your heart. Not someone who plays with it.

Never give up, but keep trying. Never cry, but put on your best smile. Never scream, but laugh with joy. Never hide because someone out there like me is looking for you.

Do what makes you happy, be with who makes you smile, laugh as much as you breathe, and love as long as you live.

Everyone says that love hurts. But that's not true. Loneliness hurts. Rejection hurts. Losing someone hurts. Everyone confuses these with love, but in reality love is the only thing in this world that covers up all the pain and makes us feel wonderful again.

A strong relationship starts with two brave people who are ready to sacrifice anything for one another.

Fear less, hope more; eat less, chew more; whine less, breathe more; talk less, say more; hate less, love more; and all good things are yours.

Don’t be someone’s downtime, spare time, part time or sometime. If they can’t be there for you all of the time, then they’re not even worth your time.

Don’t be someone’s downtime, spare time, part time or sometime. If they can’t be there for you all of the time, then they’re not even worth your time.

Don’t allow your wounds to transform you into someone you are not.

Don't make someone your everything because when they leave you'll have nothing.

Don’t like gay marriages? Don’t get one. Don’t like abortions? Don’t get one. Don’t like sex? Don’t have it. Don’t like drugs? Don’t do them. Don’t like porn? Don’t watch it. Don’t like alcohol? Don’t drink it. Don’t like your rights taken away? Don’t take away someone else’s.

Refuse to let small, petty people distract you from your BIG purpose.

Don’t ever count on someone else to give you happiness, make your own.

In the end, we only regret the chances we didn’t take, relationships we were afraid to have, and the decisions we waited too long to make.

We are only given today and never promised tomorrow. So be sure to tell someone you love them.

One of the best feelings in the world is knowing your presence and absence both mean something to someone.

No matter what, once in your life, someone will hurt you. That someone will take all that you are, and rip it into pieces and they won’t even watch where the pieces land. But through the breakdown, you’ll learn that you’re strong, and no matter how hard they destroy you, you'll be able conquer anything.

Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Appreciate your friends. Continue to learn. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

You need to stop doing things for someone, when you find out it's expected rather than appreciated.

One day, you’ll just be a memory for some people. Do your best to be a good one.

If you don’t like me, someone else will. If you’re not missing me, someone else will. If you don’t love me, someone else will. What you fail to do, someone else will.

Real men stay faithful. They don't have time to look for other women because they're too busy looking for new ways to love their own.

You can’t make them love you, but you can show them what they’re missing out on.

Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every moment with love and gratitude.

When you start giving too much importance to someone in your life, you tend to lose your value in their life.

Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Forget about those who don’t and believe that everything happens for a reason.

Don’t cry, because someone is falling in love with your eyes. Don’t scream, because someone is falling in love with your voice. Don’t frown, because someone is falling in love with your smile. Don’t hide, because someone out there is looking for you.

Don’t consider your ex as a mistake, consider them as a lesson learned... that you will get better in trusting people next time.

When someone brings more problems into your life than happiness; it’s time to show them the door, where they can exit.

When you start to really know someone, all his physical characteristics start to disappear. You begin to dwell in his energy, recognize the scent of his skin. You see only the essence of the person, not the shell. That’s why you can’t fall in love with beauty. You can lust after it, be infatuated by it, want to own it. You can love it with your eyes and your body but not your heart. And that’s why, when you really connect with a person’s inner self, any physical imperfections disappear, become irrelevant.

No relationship is a waste of time. The wrong ones teach you the lessons that prepare you for the right one.

Love does not hurt, people do, love is not blind, people are, love is beautiful because people take care of it, love is ugly when people choose to spoil it.

When I give you my time, I'm giving you a portion of my life that I will never get back. So don't waste it.

Someone once asked me how I hold my head up so high after all I've been through. I said, it's because no matter what, I am a survivor. Not a victim.

The minute someone decides to walk out of your life, that is the same moment in which the opportunity and space opens up for someone who actually deserves your love, to finally walk in.

You don’t need money to lead a rich life. Good friends and a loving family are worth their weight in gold.

In order for you to rise higher, you have to break away from relationships that are limiting you.

Maybe there’s something you’re afraid to say, or someone you’re afraid to love, or somewhere you’re afraid to go. It’s gonna hurt. It’s gonna hurt because it matters.

In the midst of your struggle lies your ability to help someone else through theirs. Don't give up!

Spend life with the people who make you happy, not the people who you have to impress.

If your friends won’t make time for you, maybe it’s time you make new friends.

A Beautiful woman uses her lips for Truth, her voice for Kindness, her ears for Compassion, her hands for Charity and her heart for Love. For those who do not like her, she uses Prayer.

People should not judge failed love affairs as failed experiences but as part of the growth process. Something does not have to end well for it to have been one of the most valuable experiences of a lifetime.

We never know where we will be at the end of our journey. We do however, know where we are today and from there we can use our hope and love to set the course. Aware of how our attitude shifts our sails and ultimately determines not only our final destination...more importantly the voyage along the way.

Forgive those who have hurt you, betrayed you, or broke your heart, for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious when you open your heart.

Being able to wait is a sign of true love and patience. Anyone can say "I love you," but not everyone can wait and prove that it’s true.

What we wait around a lifetime for with one person, we can find in a moment with someone else.

Each day I am thankful for nights that turned into mornings, friends that turned into family, dreams that turned into reality, and likes that turned into love.

It takes a strong heart to love, but it takes an even stronger heart to continue to love after it’s been hurt.

My wish for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to. Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small. You never need to carry more than you can hold. And while you're out there getting where you're getting to. I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too.

Never forget where you've been. Never lose sight of where you're going. And never take for granted the people who travel the journey with you.

Sometimes people throw away something good for something better, only to find out later that good was actually good enough and better never even came close.

There’s a difference between loving the idea of someone and actually loving who they really are.

Sometimes you have to be apart from the people you love, but that doesn’t make you love them any less. Sometimes it makes you love them more.

Every human thought, word, or deed is based on fear or love. Fear is the energy which contracts, closes down, draws in, hides, hoards, harms. Love is the energy which expands, opens up, sends out, reveals, shares, heals. You have free choice about which of these to select.

Don’t waste your time trying to get people to love you. Spend your time with those who already do.

We accept the love we think we deserve.

When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.

In life and love, you learn that there comes a time to let go and move on.

Two people don’t fall in love because they sleep in the same bed, but because they share the same dreams.

The most memorable people in your life will be the ones who loved you when you weren’t very lovable.

Not all relationships are meant to last, they're just practice for the one that does.

Never lose sleep over something that isn’t worth staying awake for.

Sometimes the only answer people are looking for when they ask for help is that they won’t have to face the problem alone.

Sometimes you have to learn to let go of the person you love, and just hold on to the memory of what was.

If they're not treating you right today, tomorrow will not be any different.

To all the girls who are in a hurry to have a boyfriend or get married, a piece of Biblical advice: “Ruth patiently waited for her mate Boaz.” While you are waiting on YOUR Boaz, don’t settle for any of his relatives: Broke-az, Po-az, Lyin-az, Cheating-az, Dumb-az, Drunk-az, Cheap-az, Lockedup-az, Goodfornothingaz, Lazyaz, and especially his third cousin Beatinyoaz. Wait on your Boaz and make sure he respects Yoaz.”

Be yourself. Be honest. Do your best. Take care of your family. Treat people with respect. Follow your dreams.

There are all kinds of love in this world but never the same love twice.

Marriage does not guarantee you will be together forever, it’s only paper. It takes love, respect, trust, understanding, friendship and faith in your relationship to make it last.

Remember that at any given moment there are a thousand things you can love.

The most precious gift you can give someone is the gift of your time and attention.

You can't force anyone to love you. All you can do is be lovable and trust that the right one will love you back.

You were born because you are going to be important to someone.

No one can promise they’ll never hurt you because at one time or another, it will happen. The real promise is if the time you spend together will be worth the pain in the end.

Life doesn’t always introduce you to the people you want to meet. Sometimes life puts you in touch with the people you need to meet - to help you, to hurt you, to leave you, to love you, and to gradually strengthen you into the person you were meant to become.

Sometimes it looks like everything is falling apart and all you do fails, but you have to stay strong. Night is always darkest before the dawn and your life is just the same - the hard times will pass, everything will get better and the sun will shine brighter than ever.

The more you care, the more you have to lose.

Immature people always want to win an argument, even at the cost of a relationship. Mature people understand that it's always better to lose an argument and win a relationship.

People break up all the time, mainly for the wrong reasons. They let the smallest things tear apart something so beautiful.

Life is full of challenges. Wise people choose to meet them. Foolish people choose to run from them.

Never go to sleep angry. Because you never know if you or the person you’re mad at will wake up the next morning. Always forgive because you never know if you’ll talk to them again. Things happen. Get over it. Always forgive. You may not forget but it's better than knowing you’ll never get to say sorry or I love you again.

When someone leaves you voluntarily and happily, let them go. Because when you fight for them, it’s not a fight for love, it’s a fight for your own obsession. Love is being happy together, not possessing each other’s happiness.

One of the hardest decisions you will ever have to make, is whether to stay and try harder, or take your memories and walk away.

Sometimes it’s easy to feel like you’re the only one in the world who’s struggling, who’s frustrated, or unsatisfied, or barely getting by. That feeling is a lie. And if you just hold on, just find the courage to face it all for another day. Someone or something will find you and make it all okay, because we all need a little help sometimes, someone to help us hear the music in the world, to remind us that it won’t always be this way. That someone is out there, and that someone will find you.

Sometimes there is nothing harder in life than being happy for somebody else.

You can't really begin to appreciate life until it has knocked you down a few times. You can't really begin to appreciate love until your heart has been broken. And you can't really begin to appreciate happiness until you've known sadness. Once you've walked through the valley, the view from the mountaintop is breathtaking.

When you stop expecting people to be perfect, you can like them for who they are.

You can try your hardest, you can do everything and say everything, but sometimes people just aren’t worth trying over anymore, they aren’t worth worrying about, and it’s important to know when to let go of someone who only brings you down.

There comes a time in life when you’ll have to leave everything behind and start something new but never forget the ones who stood by your side, especially the ones who never gave up on you.

Protect your spirit from contamination. Limit your time with negative people.

Life is too precious to waste it with the wrong person. You're better off alone until the right one comes along.

The best days of your life will be the ones where you let your heart decide what to do.

Somewhere someone is looking for exactly what you have to offer. Don't give up hope.

There are 7 billion people in the world. Why are you letting one of them ruin your life?

If you love someone, tell him or her. Forget about the rules or the fear of looking ridiculous. What is truly ridiculous is passing up on an opportunity to tell someone that your heart is invested in them.

Tough times don't last, but tough people do. Never give up!

Rejection doesn’t mean you aren’t good enough; it means the other person failed to notice what you have to offer.

Once upon a time, I wanted to know what love was. Love is there if you want it to be. You just have to see that it's wrapped in beauty and hidden away in between the seconds of your life. If you don't stop for a minute, you might miss it.

Time and good friends are two things that become more valuable the older you get.

Laundry is the only thing that should be separated by color.

Love doesn’t lie, people do. Love doesn’t leave, people do. Love surely doesn’t leave you broken and annoyed. That’s something only a person is capable of doing. Don’t blame love, if it’s not in you.

Every breakup is an opportunity to do it right the next time.

A man has two options in a relationship: either STAND UP and be the man she needs or SIT DOWN, so she can see the man behind you.

Some people are talking about you just because their lives are boring. Don't respond. Keep living your life.

You can never understand why people do stupid things for love unless you, yourself experience how it is to be in love.

It’s better to treat someone right before someone else comes along to do the job for you.

Sometimes, it's okay to walk away, to let go of the person who broke your heart, and to get a new start.

Sometimes, we come into a person’s life not to make them love us but to let them feel that they’re so much worth loving for.

Sometimes people are in love with the idea of being in love instead of being in love with the person they are with.

Love is like a garden. Sometimes you have to bury your feelings, water them with tears and then wait to see where they grow.

A sad thing in life is that sometimes you meet someone who means a lot to you only to find out in the end that it was never bound to be and you just have to let go.

Don't worry about what other people say behind your back, they are the people who are finding faults in your life instead of fixing the faults in their own life.

Those who look for the good in others will naturally bring out the good in themselves.

Maybe some people aren’t meant to stay in our lives forever. Maybe some people are just passing through. It’s like some people just come through our lives to bring us something, a lesson we need to learn, and that’s why they’re there.

If you are trapped between your feelings and what other people think is right, always go for whatever makes you happy. Unless you want everybody to be happy, except you.

When the person you want to be with pushes you away, thank them for pointing you in the right direction of the person you need.

Don’t change to make someone love you, be yourself and let the right one fall for you.

You attract what you are, not what you want. So if you want it then reflect it!

If you have time to judge other people, you have way too much time on your hands. Get off your butt and do something meaningful.

Sometimes we choose to be wrong, not because we really are wrong, but because we value our relationship more than our pride.

Sometimes good people make bad choices. It doesn't mean they're bad people, it simply means they're human.

Cherish your friends, stay true to your principles, live passionately, fully and well. Experience new things. Love and be loved, if you ever get the chance.

Some people think that to be strong is to never feel pain. In reality, the strongest people are the ones who feel it, understand it, accept it, and learn from it.

Never underestimate the pain of a person, because in all honesty, everyone is struggling. Some people are better at hiding it than others.

True love isn’t love at first sight, but love at every sight.

If there is no trust there is no relationship.

People are quick to judge, but slow to correct themselves.

Sometimes you have to let a person go so they can grow!

I think everything in life is art. What you do. How you dress. The way you love someone, and how you talk. Your smile and your personality. What you believe in, and all your dreams. The way you drink your tea. How you decorate your home. Or party. Your grocery list. The food you make. How your writing looks. And the way you feel.

Being single is not necessarily a bad thing. It is much better than being in an unhealthy relationship with the wrong person.

Give the gift of your absence to those who do not appreciate your presence.

Some people drain you and others provide soul food. Get in the company of those who feed your spirit.

Love the people who saw you when you were invisible to everyone else.

Find a partner who encourages you to grow, who won’t cling to you, who will let you go out into the world, and trust that you will come back.

No matter what, you're going to lose people in your life. Realize that no matter how much time you've spent with someone or how much you appreciate them, sometimes it will never seem like it was enough.

Surround yourself with people who make you a better person.

Sometimes people don't notice the things we do for them until we stop doing them.

Evaluate the people in your life; then promote, demote, or terminate. You're the CEO of your life!

Sad thing is, you can still love someone and be wrong for them.

The world’s problem is not that the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer, but that the world is getting warmer and people are getting colder.

One of the deepest feminine pleasures is when a man stands full, present, and unreactive in the midst of his woman’s emotional storms. When he stays present with her, and loves her through the layers of wildness and closure, then she feels his trustability, and she can relax.

Most relationships fail because we spend too much time pointing out each others mistakes and not enough time enjoying each others company.

Death ends a life, not a relationship.

You don’t need a certain number of friends, just a number of friends you can be certain of.

It's better to be single and at peace with yourself, then to be in a relationship where you are miserable all the time.

Be patient, one day someone’s going to walk into your life and make you realize why it never worked out with anyone else.

Never assume that every critic is a hater. Not everyone is hating on you. Some people are telling you the truth.

Love people for who they are, and not for who you want them to be.

Rather than think that you need a new man, you need to become a new woman. You need to put your own fulfillment and pleasures first on the list. Remember, there is a little child within who needs your love and acceptance. The key to your happiness is the decision to be happy. Stay present: every second, every minute, and every hour. Every day of your life is full of present moments of infinite value and wonder.

When someone tells you it can’t be done, it’s more a reflection of their limitations, not yours.

Saying yes to happiness means learning to say no to things and people that stress you out.

Being single is a great time to grow spiritually to become your foundation for future relationships.

Don’t let someone change who you are, to become what they need.

Not everybody that looks good to you is good for you!

Communication to a relationship is like oxygen to life. Without it...it dies.

We fight each other during the tough times instead of fighting the tough times together.

Sometimes, people with the worst pasts end up creating the best futures.

If the feelings aren’t there, then you shouldn’t be either.

Listen to your own voice, your own soul, too many people listen to the noise of the world, instead of themselves.

SMILE. It's the best thing you can do to irritate those who wish to destroy you.

There's just not enough toilet paper in the world to clean up all this crap some people create.

It takes two or more to make an argument, if all you say and do is motivated by love, all arguments will cease.

Sometimes even the greatest love has to end so your destiny can begin.

Don’t marry a man unless you’d be proud to have a son exactly like him.

The things you say about others, also say a lot about you.

There’s a big difference between who we love, who we settle for, and who we’re meant for.

Don't lower your standards. Instead, wait for people to rise up to your expectations.

Without communication, there is no relationship. Without respect, there is no love. Without trust, there is no reason to continue.

Pain is a part of life, it is what makes us human; it shapes us the same as love and laughter. You don’t have to forget, but you cannot let it destroy you. Conquer the pain, don’t let it conquer you.

You can’t blame someone for walking away if you didn’t do anything to make them stay.

It’s not about who you’ve been with, it’s about who you end up with. Sometimes the heart doesn’t know what it wants until it finds what it needs.

Never apologize for having high standards. People who really want to be in your life will rise up to meet them.

Don’t question why you are single. Question why there hasn’t been anyone out there that made you want to change that.

Some people come into your life for a season, and some come for a lifetime. Never mix seasonal people up with lifetime expectations.

Love people for who they are, not for who you hope they will be someday.

People will let you down in this life, promises will be broken, you should expect less of others and trust more in yourself.

You can't force love, I realized. It's there or it isn't. If it's not there, you've got to be able to admit it. If it is there, you've got to do whatever it takes to protect it.

When it's yours, love it. One day it might not be yours, so value and appreciate it while it's still yours.

Very few people have perfect vision - the ability to look through the flaws and see only the best in a person.

A true friend accepts who you are, but also helps you become who you should be.

I don't have time to hate people who hate me, because I'm too busy loving people who love me.

People may hate you for being different and not living up to society's standards, but deep down, they wish they had the courage to do the same.

People don't change, their priorities do.

A relationship is more than finding the right person, it’s also about being the right person.

When someone believes in you enough to lift you up, try not to let them down.

Lower your expectations of people, and you will lower your disappointments.

We meet people for a reason, either they're a blessing or a lesson.

People inspire you, or they drain you - pick them wisely.

The loneliest people are the kindest. The saddest people smile the brightest. The most damaged people are the wisest. All because they do not wish to see anyone else suffer the way they do.

Don’t let what you can’t do stop you from doing what you can do.

The people who put up with you in your darkest nights are the ones worth spending your brightest days with.

You may not end up where you thought you’d be, but you always end up where you’re meant to be.

The people who stick by you at your worst, deserve to enjoy being with you at your best!

Things end. People leave. And you know what? Life goes on. Besides, if bad things didn't happen, how would you be able to feel the good ones?

A moment of anger can destroy a lifetime of work, whereas a moment of love can break barriers that took a lifetime to build.

Drama does not just walk into your life. You either create it, invite it, or you associate with people who love to bring it into your life.

You cannot be all things to all people. Be unique. Be different. Give to others what you want yourself. And do what you were made to do.

Today is a good day to bury bad habits, attitudes, and relationships so you can give birth to a new you.

Just because some people make bad choices doesn't mean they are bad people.

No relationship is all sunshine, but two people can share one umbrella and survive the storm together.

Sometimes removing some people out of your life makes room for better people.

One smile, can start a friendship. One word, can end a fight. One look, can save a relationship. One person can change your life.

Never waste a minute of your precious life by squandering it thinking about people you don't like.

The people with the best advice are usually the ones who have been through the most.

People will talk about you when they envy you and the life you lead. Let them. You affected their life. Don’t let them affect yours.

At some point you have to realize that they no longer care, and that maybe you’re missing out on someone who does.

> We almost always see only what's wrong with other people and not what's wrong with us.

Don’t let someone who has a bad attitude give it to you.

Life is too short to argue and fight. Count your blessings, value your love ones and move on with your head held high and a smile for everyone.

Not everyone is meant to stay in your life forever. Sometimes they are only there long enough to teach you the lessons that you needed to learn.

All the best love stories have one thing in common, you have to go against the odds to get there.

People with a good sense of humor have a better sense of life.

No matter how good you are to people, there will always be people criticizing you.

People change. Love hurts. Friends leave. Things go wrong. But just remember that life goes on.

A relationship is like a house. When a lightbulb burns out you do not go and buy a new house, you fix the light bulb.

Always trust your gut feeling, and never second guess. Your gut feeling is always right.

Never let what other people expect from you, dictate what you expect from yourself.

Good things come to those who believe, better things come to those who wait and the best things come to those who don't give up.

Life is about trusting your feelings, taking chances, finding happiness, learning from the past, and realizing everything changes.

I don’t know a perfect person. I only know flawed people who are still worth loving.

Let go of people who have hurt you. Wish them the best, and move on! Don't let their wrongdoing keep you stuck!

Life would be so different if you stopped allowing other people to dilute or poison your day with their words and opinions.

Thank every single person who has ever told you that you can’t because they are just another reason why you will.

Whatever happened over this past year, be thankful for where it brought you. Where you are is where you're meant to be!

One day you will realize that material things mean nothing. All that matters is the well-being of the people in your life.

Time and people have a way of slipping away. Learn to appreciate them while they're here so you won't have any regrets after they're gone.

Always go for someone who is not only proud to have you, but will take every risk just to keep you.

When someone does something wrong, don't forget all the things they did right.

Never place your happiness in someone else's hands because if they walk away, so does your happiness.

Sometimes the greatest act of love is to walk away, so that the other person can find their true self and direction again.

When things happen that you don't understand, you must remember this: Someday it will all make sense.

People NEVER remember the million times you've helped them, only the ONE TIME you don't.

Don't rush for things. If something is bound to happen, it will happen. In the right time, with the right person and for the best reason.

If the people around you don't change then change the people you're around.

Be patient. Things are happening behind the scenes that can't be seen on the surface.

Do it from the heart or not at all.

People are going to talk, whether you're doing bad or good. Worry about yourself before you worry about what others think.

Love is a learned behavior. If you don't learn how to love yourself someone will teach you how to hate yourself.

A person doesn’t have to be perfect to be exactly what you need.

You can have friendship and you can have love, but it’s only when you have both together that it will be a great love.

Pay attention to the people that help you when you're low, so you know who to ignore when you're at your high.

Never give up on something you really want. It's difficult to wait, but it's more difficult to regret.

You teach people how to treat you by what you allow, what you stop, and what you reinforce.

The best things in life are free. And it is important never to lose sight of that. So look around you. Wherever you see friendship, loyalty, laughter, and love...there is your treasure.

The choices you make now, the people you surround yourself with, they all have the potential to affect your life, even who you are, forever.

You may not be able to see why life has gone the way it has, be patient. The answer will come, when you are ready.

Never expect. Never assume. Never ask. Never demand. Just let it be. If it's meant to be, it will happen.

People are sent into our lives to teach us things that we need to learn about ourselves.

Some people aren't meant to be in our lives forever. Some are just passing through to teach us a lesson.

You can't let other people tell you who you are. You have to decide that for yourself.

People may give up on you but you must never ever give up on yourself.

The best way to get along with people is to not expect them to be like you.

Loneliness is not lack of company, loneliness is lack of purpose.

You can`t change who people are without destroying who they were.

Good things happen when you distance yourself from negative people.

Every day is a new beginning, so treat it that way. Stay away from what might have been and look at what can be.

The less you worry about what people think, the less complicated life becomes.

Don't judge. Behind every person, there's always a reason why they are the way they are.

They ignore you now, but they’ll need you later.

When you’re about to say goodbye, think twice, look back, and remember how hard it was to say hello.

The people you dislike are in your life for a reason, they are there to teach you something about yourself.

Be happy with the little that you have.There are people with nothing that still manage to smile.

People who judge you by your past don't belong in your present.

An apology means nothing if they don't stop doing what they are apologizing for. Believe ACTION, not words.

Letting go doesn't mean you stop caring. It means you stop trying to force others to.

Hatred is toxic to you and those around you. The condition should be treated with understanding and love until it is healed.

When someone leaves you, it doesn't give you permission to run away from yourself too.

Sometimes you have to stop worrying and just have faith that things will work out. Maybe not how you planned, but just how they're supposed to.

Trust that everything happens for a reason, even when you're not wise enough to see it.

The moment you feel like giving up, remember all the reasons you held on for so long.

Whenever you feel weak, remember the things that made you strong. Whenever you start to doubt yourself, remember those who believe in you.

Never waste your time trying to explain who you are to people who are committed to misunderstanding you.

Pick your battles. You don't have to show up to every argument you're invited to.

Allow yourself to hope, to believe, and to trust again. Don't let a few bad memories stop you from having a good life!

Learn to let go. Not everyone in your life is meant to stay forever.

A sincere apology has three parts: I am sorry; it is my fault; what can I do to make it right?

Life is too short to worry about stupid things. Have fun. Fall in love. Regret nothing, and don't let people bring you down.

You cannot expect miracles to happen overnight. Be patient, be loving and little by little the change you seek will come.

Sometimes in life we just need someone who will be there for us. Someone who will listen. Someone who will try to understand us.

The Universe added one more day in your life today; not necessarily because you need it, but because someone else might need you.

Some people are permanent residents in your life… while others are just passing through. It's important to know the difference.

SMILE, it will make you look better. PRAY, it will keep you strong. LOVE, it will help you enjoy life more.

Accept that some relationships are seasonal. Learn what they came to teach and let go when it's time for them to leave.

Don’t give up on the people you love. Your patience and faithfulness may be exactly what they need to make a complete turnaround.

Your circle of friends must match your own aspirations and dreams, or you will find little support when you need it most.

Sometimes you have to move on without certain people. If they're meant to be in your life, they'll catch up.

Often people who criticize your life are usually the same people who don't know the price you paid to get where you are today.

Miracles happen to those who believe. If you believe in something with all your heart and mind, you bring it to life.

If it's meant to happen, it'll happen. If they really care, they will prove it.

There is no need to drag yourself through life. Let go of the struggle and give yourself the time and love to find balance.

Some people will better your life by being in it, while others will better it by staying out. You can't improve your life if you are surrounded by negative energy that only brings you down.

A healthy relationship doesn't drag you down. It inspires you to be better.
