study as if you will live forever; live as if you will die tomorrow

Watch your thoughts, for they become words. Choose your words, for they become actions. Understand your actions, for they become habits. Study your habits, for they will become your character. Develop your character, for it becomes your destiny.

Life is too short; grudges are a waste of perfect happiness. Laugh when you can, apologize when you should and let go of what you can't change. Love deeply and forgive quickly, take chances, give everything and have NO regrets.

Life is too short to be unhappy; you have to take the good with the bad, smile when you're sad. Love what you got and always remember what you had. Always forgive but never forget, learn from your mistakes but never regret. People change and things go wrong but remember life goes on!!!!"

Trust me, Life is too short to take for granted, so be grateful for what you have because you never know when it will be taken away from you. When times get tough, remember to keep your head up and in time everything will be all right. Death is not a way out, it only because people pain and when you think that you have no one to turn to, you better think twice because there are a lot of people that care about you.

To all my friends, remember that I'm always here for you no matter what. So live your lives with a smile and always think of others in their time of need.

Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help figure out whom you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be but you lock eyes with them, you know that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way. The people you meet affect your life. The successes and downfalls that you experience can create who you are, and the bad experiences can be learned from.

In fact they are probably the most poignant and important ones. If someone hurts you, betrays you or breaks your heart, forgive them because they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart. If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but also because they are teaching you to love and open your heart and eyes to little things. Make every day count. Appreciate everything that you possibly can, for you may never experience it again.

Sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible, painful and unfair, but in reflection you realize that without overcoming those obstacles you would never realize your potential, strength, will power or heart. Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of luck. Illness, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test limits of your soul. Talk to people whom you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Set your sights high and believe in yourself. Create your own life and then go out and live it.
