"All I ask of you is one thing: please don't be cynical. I hate cynicism -- it's my least favorite quality and it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen." - Conan

"Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and then go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive." 
Howard Thurman


 "Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart. Try to love the questions themselves. Do not now seek the answers which cannot be given because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then, gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answers."

--Rainer Maria Rilke

" Dont worry about being so goddamn small, big, or anything - just realize your potential. Just be! Anything! The rest of the world will do what it will do - just love it all. Weve got marvelous talent in every field. Just stop botching and get on with it." -Somers 


If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don't do one productive thing, you will turn twenty years old. If I am eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything I will turn eighty-eight.

Anybody can grow older. That doesn't take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunity in change. Have no regrets.

The elderly usually don't have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets.






"There are things in life that you just know in your heart, and all you have to do is be patient and everything will work out fine"

today.

Instead of worrying about what might or might not happen someday, enjoy fully the beauty of this day. You are where you are, at this moment, in this place. Simply by choosing to, you can be completely at peace with it all. And from a peaceful perspective of gratitude and acceptance, you can do truly great things.
