I Believe...

“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”

~Marilyn Monroe

Happiness...

It is not your job to make someone else happy.

It is your job to make your SELF happy.

We have a lot of VERY unhappy people in this world trying to make others happy..... at the expense of their very own happiness.

Sacrificing the SELF will never work, because it is impossible to give to someone else what you currently do not have.

Are you happy? If you are not ~ what changes are you willing to make in order to claim your birthright of joy, love, happiness and serenity. It is your divine birthright to radiate these attributes, and it is your responsibility to claim them.....for no one else can do it for you.

Are your needs met? If your needs are not met how can you possibly fulfill the needs of others? There must always be a balance in giving and receiving.

Examine your life and your relationships. Be brutally self honest with your self. What changes need to be made? What needs to be released? What needs to be healed? What needs to be discussed? What needs to be brought back into balance?

You have the power and the responsibility to BE HAPPY. Spend time creating that for your self so you can radiate it from your being and THEN help others simply by being the example of what they too can create and claim for themselves. ~ Sabrina

There’s a point in your life...

~♥ There’s a point in your life when you know who's there forever, and who’s just around for a while. People change, but keep in mind, so do you. Sometimes for the best, and sometimes for the worst. Bad things happen to everyone, but you’re not in it alone. People lie, and some people just don’t care how you feel, but that's life. Your heart beats, no matter how much pain you’re in. But everything will be okay eventually. Cherish the moments that take your breath away and when you are loved, love back fully. For the truest gift in life is to love and be loved. Aura Valour ~

Happy Valentine's Day...

Lovers don't finally meet somewhere,
they're in each other all along.

Happy Valentine's Day to ALL♥

Taking a Risk....

♥Taking a risk is like jumping off a cliff. It's a leap into the unknown, with absolutely no guarantees. Ultimately, you just have to decide. You have to choose." -(Being Traci) ♥

Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step." -Martin Luther King Jr." ♥♡♥

At some point...

❝At some point you will realize that you have done too much for someone, that the only next possible step to do is to stop. Leave them alone. Walk away. It’s not like you’re giving up, and shouldn’t try. It’s just that you have to draw the line of determination from desperation. What is truly yours would eventually be yours, and what is not, no matter how hard you try, will never be.❞

I Believe...

I believe ~ that we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.
I believe ~ that no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.
I believe ~ that true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance.
I believe ~ that you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.
I believe ~ that it's taken me a long time to become the person I want to be.
I believe ~ that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.
I believe ~ that you can keep going long after you think you can't.
I believe ~ that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.
I believe ~ that either you control your attitude or it controls you.
I believe ~ that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at
first, the passion fades and there had better be something else to take its place.
I believe ~ that heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.
I believe ~ that money is a lousy way of keeping score.
I believe ~ that my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.
I believe ~ that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down will be the ones to help you get back up.
I believe ~ that sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.
I believe ~ that just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to love you doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
I believe ~ that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them, and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.
I believe ~ that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.
I believe ~ that no matter how bad your heart is broken, the world doesn't stop for your grief.
I believe ~ that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.
I believe ~ that just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other. And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.
I believe ~ that you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret. It could change your life forever.
I believe ~ that two people can look at the same thing and see something totally different.
I believe ~ that your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you.
I believe ~ that even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you, you will find the strength to help.
I believe ~ that credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.

Happiness...

"One begins by identifying those factors which lead to happiness and joy, and those factors which lead to suffering and anxiety. Having done this, one then sets about gradually eliminating those factors which lead to suffering and anxiety, and cultivating those factors which bring happiness and joy. This is the way.

-The Dalai Lama

Recognize....

The important thing is not to be bitter over life's disappointments. Learn to let go of the past and recognize that every day wont be sunny, and when you find yourself lost in the darkness of despair, remember- its only in the black of night that you see the stars, and those stars lead you back home. Do don't be afraid to make mistakes, to stumble and fall, because most of the time, the greatest of rewards come from doing things that scare you the most. Maybe you'll get everything you wish for, maybe you'll get more than you ever could have imagined. Who knows where life will take you...

Never Blame...

"Never blame anyone in life...
Good people bring you happiness,
Bad people bring you experience,
Worst people bring you lessons,
Best people bring you memories.
Even though you know right then what the great ones are bringing to your life, and don't really realize until afterwards what the bad ones are bringing-they have each brought you something valuable to take with you."
