The world is a mixture of people.
We just need to know
which hand to shake and which hand to hold.
The shoe that fits one person pinches another;
there is no recipe for living that suits all cases.
Sometimes I wish I could
change some things that happened in the past;
but the rear view mirror is so small and the windshield is so big.
Your eyes are placed in the front
because it is more important to look ahead than to look back.
Where you are headed
is much more important than what you've left behind.
Drive carefully on this road called
"life"
because people will switch lanes on you without a signal.
Some people will never like you because
your spirit irritates their demons.
Be careful
who you let on your ship, because some people will
sink the whole ship just because they can't be the captain.
Don't make excuses for horrible
people.
You can't put a flower in an
axxhole
and call it a
vase.
You cannot expect a person to behave in a
manner
that is not in their character.
It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.
Don't worry about people who aren't happy for you.
They probably aren't happy for themselves either.
Only people
who aren't happy with themselves are mean to others.
Some people create
their own storms, then get upset when it rains.
Some of the most miserable people are
those who only care about themselves,
understand only their own troubles,
and see only their own perspective.
People will never truly understand something until it happens to them.
Never argue with stupid people; they will drag you down to their level
and then beat you up with experience.
The largest fish in the river grew to its size,
not because of its strength,
but because it learned not to bite a baited hook.
Every human bleeds the same color.
A lot of things broke my heart but fixed my vision.
When people say they cannot see anything good
in you.
Hug them and say life is difficult for the
blind.
Don't seek revenge. The rotten fruits will
fall by themselves.
Holding a grudge does't make you strong;
it makes you bitter.
Forgiving doesn't make you weak it sets you free.
Life is too short for long-term grudges.
Don't pour your sunshine into someone
who doesn't think of you as their sky.
Don't break a bird's wings and then tell it to
fly.
Don't break a heart and then tell it to love.
Don't break a soul and then tell it to be happy.
Don't see the worst in a person and
expect them to see the best in you.
Don't judge people and expect them to stand by your side.
Don't play with fire and expect to stay perfectly safe.
Life is about giving and taking.
You cannot expect to give bad and receive good.
You cannot expect to give good and receive bad.
We were born to be real, not to be perfect.
I don't regret the things I did wrong.
I regret the good things I did for the wrong people.
I do not fear being alone,
I fear being in a room full of people I cannot trust.
Don't depend too much on anyone in this world because
even your own shadow leaves you when you are in darkness.
Let your light shine so brightly that
others can see their way out of the dark.
It won't be easy having a kind heart in a cruel world.
Some
people come into our lives as
blessings.
Some come into our lives as lessons.
Tables turn, bridges burn, and we live and learn.
If respect is no longer being served, leave the table.
People walk out of your life, but it's not the end of your story.
It's just the end of their part in
your story.
Those people who treat
you wrong.
Be sure you thank them for making
you
strong.
Forgive others, not because they deserve forgiveness,
but because you deserve peace.
