Always, Always, empower yourself. Remember that you have the power to take the controls of you. Don't hand that over to someone or something else. When you realize what you are capable of, expand and use it to it's fullest potential in a positive manner. Not only for those around you, but also for yourself. This is not selfish, it is consideration. Everyone is capable of individual, amazing things. Don't allow that to be diminished.
You can have a belly full of fire without burning others.
You can also allow your little light to shine without blinding them.
As has been said, with great power comes greater responsibility.
You are not strange, weird or off simply because people's opinions deem it as fact. That's exactly what they are - subjective opinions. Don't change your stride because everyone else is walking backwards.
Male or Female, if it is trying to start an argument instead of a discussion or debate, it's a Troll. If it is breaking even one of these rules, it's a Troll. If it resorts to using childish behavior or insults, it's a Troll. At that point, best idea is to walk away from it. Trolls should be starved out. In real life or otherwise. A Troll is not worth your time or patience, nor does it deserve them.
It's far easier to label someome than it is to take the time to understand them.
Be careful of the favors you do, they may turn into expectations, breeding entitlement.
Political Correctness is a societal false god.
Everything changes absolutely when viewed through an objective lens.
Patience has extreme benefits that only those who sow of it will reap.
Be the storm that cannot be swayed. STAND, know and be who you are, find positive strength in that, let nothing stand in your way.
It's been said a million ways and a million times, but it doesn't matter.
Stop for a moment and consider how fleeting life is and how hard it is to meet real people, real friends.
Think about how crucial memories are to your life, which are truly some of the very few things eternal to your existence.
Say I Love You, even if you've said it a thousand times before, and mean it. They deserve it.
Stop and pet your animal companion, whether it be a cat, dog, horse, etc. They deserve it.
Step outside and stop for a few minutes, observe the world around you, take all of it in. You deserve it.
Look at yourself and who you are and what you've accomplished thus far, great and small. Be happy about it, about those positives. You deserve it.
Understand that time is finite and speeds ever onward and once lost, it cannot be re-attained. Use it wisely, you'll thank yourself later. You deserve it.
Realize that every moment, every memory, is the greatest gift you will recieve. Everyone and everything deserves that same gift, whether you know them or not. We all deserve it.
No one holds tommorrow and it could all end in a moment and all that is left, is a memory. Make the most of what you have. You deserve that.
