Words of Advice

When somebody does something wrong to you and it really drove you freakin' mad, don't do the same! Instead, kill them with kindness... 'coz guilty feelings are always the nastiest revenge...

"A duck in the pond is calm and careless, but what you don't see under the water is the struggling and stressed feet."

Lesson: What you see is not always what it seems. Let us know how to transcend in life. We could be like ducks; there's grace under pressure. :)

Don't ever let yourself get so busy that you miss those little but important extras in life:

* the beauty of a day
* the smile of a friend
* the serenity of a quiet moment alone

For it is often life's smallest pleasures and gentlest joys that make the biggest and most lasting difference...

*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*

Sometimes we put too much passion on the biggest dreams and priorities in life that we fail to love the smallest pleasures from simple things. We search so much for the right choices, for the right person, for the right paths to walk through, for the right time, and for the right reasons.

But life isn't about searching for the things that can be found. It is about letting the unexpected happen and finding things you never searched for...

Silence doesn't always mean yes; it may also mean no but it's better left unsaid.
Anger doesn't always mean hatred; it could just be a means of coping up.
Laughter doesn't always mean happiness; sometimes it's just a mask.
Tears don't always mean sorrow; it may also be an outlet of joy.
Staying away doesn't always mean it's the end; it may also mean the best beginning.
And though life is so complicated, it's always beautiful. So live it well.

There is tremendous happiness in making others happy despite our own situations. Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared is doubled. If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money can't buy.

Remember, today is a gift, that is why it's called the present.

You'll never find anybody that achieves great success in life without a give up story. Nothing comes free and there will come a time when you will and that you, too, will have to give up something good if you want something better.

Destiny belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams and have the courage to pursue it. So don't stop when you're tired; stop when you're done.

*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*

Looking at pictures sometimes makes our heart ache because they give us a glimpse of what it used to be. It's sad to think that what we see on the pictures could only be something that would never happen again. Seeing faces would only tell us that we used to have that smile with those people... but when we think of it, only time can tell if we'll ever cross paths again...

Cherish who you are with at the time... because what you have right now may only be for a moment...

(merl: This is very true...)

To live a soulful life is to share yourself with those you love. Smile each day for those you love. Let them know by the brightness of your face that you are happy they're in your life. Touch each day of those you love. Hold them close, even how briefly. The human touch is one of the most comforting things in our world... and one of the most reassuring...

*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*

Live with no excuses and love with no regrets. When life gives you 100 reasons to cry, show life that you have 1000 reasons to smile. :)

*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*

No one's perfect. Everybody commits mistake, whether we like it or not. Just always remember, a mistake only becomes a mistake when you never learn from it! And that in this life, we never run out of choices...
