QUOTES

  • When you find a dream inside your heart, don't ever let it go because…dreams are the seeds from which beautiful tomorrows grow.
  • I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.
  • You can spend minutes, hours, days, weeks or even months over-analyzing a situation: trying to put the pieces together, justifying what could've, would've happened- or you can just leave the pieces on the floor and move the fuck on.
  • Dear Lord, I pray for Wisdom, to understand a man. Love, to forgive him and Patience, for his moods. Because lord, if I pray for Strength, I'll beat him to death,
  • Secrets are like Pregnancies, they find ways of betraying their owners.
  • Surrender, in its place, was as honorable as resistance, especially if one had no choice.
  • I like my men like cars, strong, built like horses.
  • Life is like a beautiful melody, only the lyrics are messed up.
  • All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence; then success is sure.
  • Alcohol is like love. The first kiss is magic, the second is intimate, the third is routine. After that you take the girl's clothes off.
  • The best kind of friend is the one you could sit on a porch with, never saying a word, and walk away feeling like that was the best conversation you've had.
  • Love comes to those who still hope even though they've been disappointed, to those who still believe even though they've been betrayed, to those who still love even though they've been hurt before.
  • Treating the whole world as if it works for you doesn't suggest you're special, it means you're an ass.
  • Every single day we judge people, every single day people judge us. Its not going to go away but we can always be ready to point the finger back, that's the least we can do.
  • Our lives are defined by other people, even the ones that we miss.
  • Associate with excited people: it'll rub off on you.
  • Level with yourself, things are better than what they seem.
  • Love makes life worth it and how much our life's worth is determined by how much love we have given and how much love we have gained back.
  • Happiness is a state of mind but usually begins with a choice.
  • You've got to learn by other people's mistakes, because you never live long enough to make them all yourself.
  • Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and knowledge is shipwrecked by laughter of the gods. Albert Einstein.
  • Love means exposing yourself to the pain of being hurt, deeply hurt by someone you trust.
  • I think 10 years in our twenties is way too much. Johnny Depp.
  • I found the paradox that if you love till it hurts, there's no more pain, but only, more love. Mother Teresa
  • A mother takes 20 years to make a man of her boy, and another woman makes a fool of him in twenty minutes.
  • Your sense of humor is the knife with which you cut into the wilderness of despair.
  • I only cry when its raining, so I can wipe away my tears with the rain drops.
  • Sometimes its easier to deliver a small truth than a painful lie.
  • Tears are words waiting to be spoken.
  • Failures are blessings in disguise.
  • Hope is a tool used to transform dreams into reality.
  • Lust is innocence disguised as sin.

Resolutions.



Its 11pm and I absolutely can't sleep. A lot is weighing on my mind and I don't know why. The urge to write has completely taken over me and the good thing is, it helps when I write.
The year is coming to an end within a week's time. I look back on some of the resolutions that I made for 2010 and realize that, I accomplished fewer than I had intended/made.
They say a 'resolution' should be an achievable goal that is supposed to improve on your life or being. Something that will bring personal gratification and fulfillment. That we should all resolve to do things that we will be able to accomplish within a specific time frame. Things that we put off due to lack of time or motivation to finish.
I realize that resolutions have no specific time frame that is neither an end nor a beginning; people will still make the same resolution year in and year out hoping to finally fulfill it. If someone doesn't have the desire to accomplish a goal they had set aside for themselves, what's the use in making them at all? Because a goal is supposed to give your life purpose and the vision to achieve it.
Some people don't believe in resolutions. They say, 'why make a plan for myself when God already has plans for me?' I find that totally lacking in zeal/spirit. The desire one has to accomplish their own goals. Goals that will bring personal fulfillment. There is something satisfying about achieving the unattainable.
I find that failure to make plans for oneself shows a total lack of character or weakness within a person. What's wrong with making your plans alongside God's plans for you? Besides, we never know what God has planned for us and it is kind of risky to leave everything to chance, when we all know that God helps those who help themselves.
Starting a blog is something I never believed I would carry off despite my love for writing, neither did I think I'll actually put it out there but, hey, am happy about it and it gives me joy.
However big or small your resolution is for 2011; don't fail to write it down as a goal. You may have the spirit within you to accomplish it and the satisfaction will be beyond your imagination. The feeling you get when you've acquired and achieved everything you ever wanted is the best you'll ever have. Go for it and don't be afraid to make your resolutions no matter what.
