"The dream was always running ahead of me. To catch up, to live for a moment in unison with it, that was the miracle."

Life was simple as that. We just BELIEVED. We didn’t question, analyze, or wish for better.
We accepted everything with a smile and gratefulness, no questions asked. We lived for each day. We just simply BELIEVED.


“The best thing about dreams is that fleeting moment, when you are between asleep and awake, when you don’t know the difference between reality and fantasy, when for just that one moment you feel with your entire soul that the dream is reality, and then you realize - it really happened.”


Accept what life offers you and try to drink from every cup. All wines should be tasted; some should only be sipped, but with others, drink the whole bottle.

If you wait to do everything until you're sure it's right, you'll probably never do much of anything

"We have this idea that love is supposed to last forever. But love isn't like that. It's a free-flowing energy that comes and goes when it pleases. Sometimes, it stays for life; other times it stays for a second, day, a month or a year. So don't fear love when it comes simply because it makes you vulnerable. But don't be surprised when it leaves either. Just be glad you had the opportunity to experience it."

"Love is what you've been through with someone"

"Love is always new. Regardless of whether we love once, twice, or a dozen times in our life, we always face a brand new situation. Love can send us to hell or paradise, but it always takes us somewhere. We simply have to accept it, because it is what nourishes our existence. If we reject it, we die of hunger, because we lack the courage to stretch out a hand and pluck the fruit from the branches of the tree of life. We have to take love where we find it, even if that means hours, days, weeks of disappointment and sadness."

"The moment we begin to seek love, love begins to seek us. And to save us"

"I know where I'm going and I know the truth, and I don't have to be what you want me to be. I'm free to be what I want."
- Muhammad Ali

"Some days, success is about luck, or talent, or skill. But most days, success is about wrestling failure to the ground until it screams uncle."

”Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant.”

Happiness is like a bluebird. It can't be caged. It needs to fly here and there, but you will find that it comes back for those moments that mean the most. Even if things didn't go as you fantasized, you shouldn't let that ruin it for you. Think about the moments of joy you've experienced, and the moments of joy yet to come. The bluebird doesn't go far- you see, it's the coming and going that makes each reunion that much more wonderful.

The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle,  known loss, and have found their way out of the depths.
These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion,  gentleness, and a deep loving concern.
Beautiful people do not just happen.

God forbid we ever trade the wisdom for the glamour.
