"People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered.
Love them anyway. If you do good, people may accuse
you of selfish motives. Do good anyway. If you are
successful, you may win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway. The good you do today may be
forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Honesty and
transparency make you vulnerable. Be honest and
transparent anyway. What you spend years building
may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway. People
who really want help may attack you if you help them.
Help them anyway. Give the world the best you have
and you may get hurt. Give the world your best anyway.
Basically, my thoughts are this: why do we spend so much time building walls? people always say that you can't appreciate the sun without experiencing the rain. so why do we run from rain? "because it hurts; it makes things messy." but how beautiful is that? when you go through the hardest times in life, you end up growing the most, improving yourself, learning more about yourself. thats awesome to me. here's another quote:
if having things turn out the way you wanted them to is
a measure of a successful life, then some would say they
are failures. the important thing is not to be bitter over life's
disappointments, learn to let go of the past, and recognize
that everyday wont be sunny. when you find yourself lost in
the darkness of despair, remember its only in the black of
night you can see the stars and those stars will lead you back
home. maybe you wont get everything you wish for, maybe you
will get more than you ever could have imagined. who knows
where life will take you. the road is long and in the end the
journey is the destination.
so, take control. realize where you came from, and know where you're going. make your life your own. embrace life for all God meant it to be. frustrating, upsetting, disappointing, exciting, aspiring, loving. maybe the problems you're trying to run from are supposed to be in your life. maybe you'll learn something amazing by going through them. you'll meet new people, learn new things, how unfortunate would it be for you to miss all that, just because you were scared of a little pain?
from now on, i'm going to love recklessly, live my life without holding back. because from now on, i'm not going to care. God didn't make us all just to be born, breathe, and die. he made us to do beautiful and amazing things. so i'm going to be "strong and courageous" and with his guidance, i'll do beautiful and amazing things. i'm not scared anymore. this is my life, and i'm living it.
