Open When You Need Motivation Part 5

Live in the present, remember the past, and fear not the future, for it doesn't exist and never shall. There is only now.

Believe in your heart
Believe in your heart that you're meant to live a life full of passion, purpose, magic and miracles.

Make improvements, not excuses. Seek respect, not attention.

Life becomes easier and more beautiful when we can see the good in other people.

Don't let the expectations and opinions of other people affect your decisions. It's your life, not theirs. Do what matters most to you; do what makes you feel alive and happy. Don't let the expectations and ideas of others limit who you are. If you let others tell you who you are, you are living their reality — not yours. There is more to life than pleasing people. There is much more to life than following others' prescribed path. There is so much more to life than what you experience right now. You need to decide who you are for yourself. Become a whole being. Adventure.

We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the universe. That makes us something very special.

Be grateful for what you already have while you pursue your goals. If you aren't grateful for what you already have, what makes you think you would be happy with more.

Happiness is only real when shared.

Life is a shipwreck, but we must not forget to sing in the lifeboats.

Letting go means to come to the realization that some people are a part of your history, but not a part of your destiny.

It was, he thought, the difference between being dragged into the arena to face a battle to the death and walking into the arena with your head held high.

A ship is safer in harbor, but that's not what ships are for.

Pursue what catches your heart, not what catches your eyes.

Follow your heart, listen to your inner voice, stop caring about what others think.

Don't waste your time in anger, regrets, worries, and grudges. Life is too short to be unhappy.

Better to be strong than pretty and useless.

Acts of kindness:
A random act of kindness, no matter how small, can make a tremendous impact on someone else's life.

The unreal is more powerful than the real. Because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. Because it's only intangible ideas, concepts, believes, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles. Wood rots. People, well, they die. But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on. If you can change the way people think. They way they see themselves. They way they see the world. You can change the way people live their lives. That's the only lasting thing you can create.

The most common way people give yo their power is by thinking they don't have any.

The past has no power over the present moment.
