If you make yourself dependent on the support and approval
of others, you’re setting yourself up for disappointment. Be
you, be authentic, be great in your own unique way, and let
others think and say what they will.
Nothing has the power to hold you back unless you choose to
let it hold you back. Choose instead to find a way, and to
live life on your own terms.
Going only with what’s easy and comfortable will soon bring
you a whole lot of painful regret. Instead, go with what is
great and beautiful and meaningful, and fill each moment
with the richness you deserve.

Love = a form of amnesia when a girl forgets there are 1.2 billion other boys in the world.
The Paradoxical Commandments
by Dr. Kent M. Keith
People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered.
Love them anyway.
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.
If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.
The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.
The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.
Think big anyway.
People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.
Fight for a few underdogs anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.
People really need help but may attack you if you do help them.
Help people anyway.
Give the world the best you have and you’ll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you have anyway.

Kind of ironic that the bolder words are the past and future leaving the present words lighter. Just a thought.
