How to Achieve Great Things

You’re as great as your thoughts.

Imagine your ideal self – a person filled with health, happiness and prosperity. Imagine living the life of your dreams. This life is not as distant or unreachable as it may seem. You are a reflection of your thoughts. If you think you can do great things, you will. If you think you can’t, you won’t.

For change to happen you need to enlarge your thoughts. You need to hold a vision of yourself that will carry you through adversity and give you the strength to climb mountains. So, hold your ideal self in your thoughts. Stay true to it. You will become as great as what you hold in your mind.

Today’s Affirmation: I envision my ideal self in my thoughts.

One Tree Hill Quote: Life

Do not look back and grieve over the past, for it is gone; and do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful that it will be worth remembering.

Be not afraid of life. Believe that life is worth living, and your belief will help create the fact.

Life is just a long journey that is made up a million little road trips.

Relax. Destiny has a way of finding you.

I Love Me Unconditionally

"Self-love is the greatest of all flatterers"

I must learn to love the fool in me the one who feels too much, talks too much, takes too many chances, wins sometimes and loses often, lacks self-control, loves and hates, hurts and gets hurt, promises and breaks promises, laughs and cries. - Theodore Rubin, Love Me, Love My Fool, 1976

Girls: Things you should put on mind when dealing with the Opposite

If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away. If he doesn't want you, nothing can make him stay. Stop making excuses for a man and his behavior. Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache. Stop trying to change yourself for a relationship that's not meant to be. Slower is better. Never live your life for a man before you find what makes you truly happy. If a relationship ends because the man was not treating you as you deserve then hell no, you can't be friends.

A friend wouldn't mistreat a friend. Don't settle. If you feel like he is stringing you along, then he probably is. Don't stay because you think 'it will get better'. The only person you can control in a relationship is you. Always have your own set of friends separate from his. Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you. If something bothers you, speak up. Never let a man know everything. He will use it against you later. You cannot change a man's behavior. Change comes from within. Don't EVER make him feel he is more important than you are. Do not make him into a quasi-god. He is a man, nothing more nothing less.

Never let a man define who you are. -Oprah

Good things come to those who wait, but great things will come to those who chase their dreams... - Jared Spencer

Life is like riding a bicycle, in order to keep your balance, you must keep moving..

Blessed Sunday

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

Proverbs 3:5-6 (New King James Version)

Triumph Over Hardships

Think life is hard – and it’s hard!

When you dwell on your problems or what you don’t have, you generate negative energy, and chances are your life won’t change for the better. Why not focus on the possibilities? When you make up your mind to do something, you’ll find you can. Instead of thinking about barriers in life, reach out after opportunities. Instead of seeing a locked door, see a key. Instead of thinking about the rough mountain climb ahead, see yourself standing on the summit.
Today, resolve to let go of the struggles and embrace your potential. Your shift in attitude will shift your life from the shadows into the sunshine.

"It is the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting"

Paulo Coelho

Dear Future Boyfriend;

I’m sorry for the fights that we’ll get into. I’m sorry for making you cry. I’m sorry for lying. I’m sorry if I get jealous. I’m sorry if I act childish sometimes. I’m sorry if I’m a pain in the ass sometimes. And I’m sorry for everything that I’ll do to make you unhappy.

I thank you for all the smiles that you’ll bring me, all the happiness you can give me. I thank you for being there for when I need you the most. Thank you for brightening up my day. If you make me cry, then that’s okay. Just don’t make that a habit. If you hold my hand, hold it tight so that you can make sure that I don’t slip away. If you hold me, just know that I won’t stop smiling. I want you to know that if I ever do slip away, I didn’t want to, but it was something that I couldn’t help. And when I realize how stupid I was, I hope that you still haven’t given up on me yet. And I hope that you’ll still be there to give me another chance because I would give you that second chance. If you make me cry, then that’s okay. They say that guys aren’t worth my tears, but I want you to be the guy that’s worth my tears. I know that there’ll be times where I can’t always make you happy. I know that there will be times where I won’t be able to see you because of my parents, but know that I really just want to be with you right at that moment and know that I just want to be in your arms.

I don’t need you to kiss me every minute like how some couples are because I’d rather you just surprise me. I’ll love it when you make me laugh, even if it’s something completely stupid, a cheesy pick up line, a silly face, anything, I’ll love it. I’ll introduce you to my friends if you want and you can introduce me to yours, but that really doesn’t matter to me. Knowing you is good enough for me. I won’t fall for any of your friends because I know how much you’d hate that and why would I want them when I have you? I just hope that you can do the same. I’ll watch movies with you all day if you wanted to - your favorite movies, my favorite movies, new movies, any movie. We can go to the park and run around you can chase me around the playground. We can take a train to New York and then wind up not getting off until the last stop. When we do get off, we can just take another train and it won’t matter which stop we get off at. We can stay up all night on the phone and not even say anything to each other. Future boyfriend, I hope that I’ll meet you soon.

EVERYDAY IS A SUNDAY MORNING, One Tree Hill Season 3

Stepping up. It’s a simple concept. It basically means to rise above yourself, to do a little more, to show you something special. Something like this. Lucas is gone, but that doesn’t mean the season is over. As a matter of fact, I’d say it’s just beginning. You might want to stay out of my way for a while. Life’s funny sometimes. Can push pretty hard, like when you fall in love with someone but they forget to love you back. Like when your best friend and your boyfriend leave you alone. Like when you pull the trigger or light the flame, and you can’t take it back.

Like I said, in sports, they call this stepping up. In life, I call it pushing back. You know, it’s been said that we just don’t recognize the significant moments of our lives while they’re happening. We grow complacent with ideas or things or people, and we take them for granted. And it’s usually not until that thing is about to be taken away from you that you realize how wrong you’ve been, that you realize how much you really need it, how much you love it.

God, I love this game. Every once in a while, people step up. They rise above themselves. Sometimes they surprise you. And sometimes they fall short. Life is funny sometimes. It can push pretty hard. But if you look close enough, you find hope in the words of children, in the bars of a song and in the eyes of someone you love. And if you’re lucky, I mean if you’re the luckiest person on this entire planet, the person you love decides to love you back.
