Maybe God wants us to meet
a few wrong people before meeting
the right one so that when we finally
meet the right person, we will know
how to be grateful for that gift.
When the door of happiness closes,
another opens, but often times we look
so long at the closed door that we don't
see the one which has been opened for us.
The best kind of friend is the kind
you can sit on a porch and swing with,
never say a word, and then walk away
feeling like it was the best
conversation you've every had.
It's true that we don't know what we've got
until we lose it, but it's also true
that we don't know what we've been missing
until it arrives.
Giving someone all your love is never
an assurance that they'll love you back!
Don't expect love in return;
just wait for it to grow in their heart
but if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours.
It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone,
an hour to like someone,
and a day to love someone,
but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.
Don't go for looks; they can deceive.
Don't go for wealth; even that fades away.
Go for someone who makes you smile because it
takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.
Find the one that makes your heart smile.
There are moments in life when you miss someone so much
that you just want to pick them from your dreams
and hug them for real!
Dream what you want to dream;
go where you want to go;
be what you want to be,
because you have only one life and
one chance to do all the things you want to do.
May you have enough happiness to make you sweet,
enough trials to make you strong,
enough sorrow to keep you human,
enough hope to make you happy.
Always put yourself in others' shoes.
If you feel that it hurts you,
it probably hurts the other person, too.
The happiest of people don't necessarily
have the best of everything;
they just make the most of everything
that comes along their way.
Happiness lies for those who cry,
those who hurt, those who have searched,
and those who have tried,
for only they can appreciate the importance
of people who have touched their lives.
Love begins with a smile,
grows with a kiss
and ends with a tear.
The brightest future will always be based
on a forgotten past.
You can't go on well in life until
you let go of your past failures and heartaches.
When you were born, you were crying and
everyone around you was smiling.
Live your life so that when you die,
you're the one who is smiling and
everyone around you is crying.
Please send this message to
those people who mean something to you,
to those who have touched your life in one way or another,
to those who make you smile when you really need it,
to those that make you see the brighter side of things
when you are really down,
to those who you want to let them know
that you appreciate their friendship.
