    Bob Marley
    “Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.”
    Bob Marley

    Rasheed Ogunlaru
    “While you'll feel compelled to charge forward it's often a gentle step back that will reveal to you where you and what you truly seek.”
    Rasheed Ogunlaru

  • #3
    “Don't be in such a rush to reach a goal, that you reach the goal before you are ready. Sometimes, we learn such valuable lessons along the way. Sometimes, we learn more about ourselves and discover that we actually want something different. Put your heart into what you do, but don't rush. Good things take time.”
    Akiroq Brost

  • #4
    Craig D. Lounsbrough
    “Patience is where we realize that to rush something is to compromise it to its own destruction. Maturity is to realize that the most effective way to stop the destruction is by beginning to develop patience. And the first place that we need to do that is with ourselves.”
    Craig D. Lounsbrough

    Michael Bassey Johnson
    “Grace bends the rule for us when we accomplish in a few days what could have taken a lifetime to achieve.”
    Michael Bassey Johnson, The Book of Maxims, Poems and Anecdotes

    Shannon L. Alder
    “The hardest part of letting go is the "uncertainty"--when you are afraid that the moment you let go of someone you will hate yourself when you find out how close you were to winning their affection. Every time you give yourself hope you steal away a part of your time, happiness and future. However, once in a while you wake up to this realization and you have to hold on tightly to this truth because your heart will tear away the foundation of your logic, by making excuses for why this person doesn't try as much as you. The truth is this: Real love is simple. We are the ones that make it complicated. A part of disconnecting is recognizing the difference between being desired and being valued. When someone loves you they will never keep you waiting, give their attention and affection away to others, allow you to continue hurting, or ignore what you have gone through for them. On the other hand, a person that desires you can't see your pain, only what they can get from you with minimal effort in return. They let you risk everything, while they guard their heart and reap the benefits of your feelings. We make so many excuses for the people we fall in love with and they make up even more to remain one foot in the door. However, the truth is God didn't create you to be treated as an option or to be disrespected repeatedly. He wants you to close the door. If someone loves you and wants to be in your life no obstacle will keep them from you. Remember, you are royalty, not a beggar.”

    “APPLY WITHIN

    You once told me
    You wanted to find
    Yourself in the world -
    And I told you to
    First apply within,
    To discover the world
    within you.

    You once told me
    You wanted to save
    The world from all its wars -
    And I told you to
    First save yourself
    From the world,
    And all the wars
    You put yourself
    Through.


    APPLY WITHIN by Suzy Kassem”

    Shannon L. Alder
    “The true definition of mental illness is when the majority of your time is spent in the past or future, but rarely living in the realism of NOW.”
    Shannon L. Alder

  • #21
    Steve Jobs
    “Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
    Steve Jobs

    Winston S. Churchill
    “I felt as if I were walking with destiny, and that all my past life had been but a preparation for this hour and for this trial... I thought I knew a good deal about it all, I was sure I should not fail.”
    Winston Churchill, The Second World War

  • #23
    T.D. Jakes
    “Destiny will always make someone angry, but better that person be angry with you than for you to be angry with you. I guarantee you will end up an angry person the day you awaken spiritually and realize that you’ve adhered to everyone’s priorities except your own.”
    T.D. Jakes, Destiny: Step into Your Purpose

    Earl Nightingale
    “Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway.”
    Earl Nightingale

    Munia Khan
    “Let our love chase all clouds away
    Hold my hand and feel the day
    Your footsteps guide my steps all along
    Beneath my skin your veins belong.”
    Munia Khan

    Pablo Neruda
    “With a chaste heart
    With pure eyes I celebrate your beauty
    Holding the leash of blood
    So that it might leap out and trace your outline
    Where you lie down in my Ode
    As in a land of forests or in surf
    In aromatic loam, or in sea music

    Beautiful nude
    Equally beautiful your feet
    Arched by primeval tap of wind or sound
    Your ears, small shells
    Of the splendid American sea
    Your breasts of level plentitude
    Fulfilled by living light
    Your flying eyelids of wheat
    Revealing or enclosing
    The two deep countries of your eyes

    The line your shoulders have divided into pale regions
    Loses itself and blends into the compact halves of an apple
    Continues separating your beauty down into two columns of
    Burnished gold
    Fine alabaster
    To sink into the two grapes of your feet
    Where your twin symmetrical tree burns again and rises
    Flowering fire
    Open chandelier
    A swelling fruit
    Over the pact of sea and earth

    From what materials
    Agate?
    Quartz?
    Wheat?
    Did your body come together?
    Swelling like baking bread to signal silvered hills
    The cleavage of one petal
    Sweet fruits of a deep velvet
    Until alone remained
    Astonished
    The fine and firm feminine form

    It is not only light that falls over the world spreading inside your body
    Yet suffocate itself
    So much is clarity
    Taking its leave of you
    As if you were on fire within

    The moon lives in the lining of your skin.”
    Pablo Neruda

  • #27
    Michel de Montaigne
    “To begin depriving death of its greatest advantage over us, let us adopt a way clean contrary to that common one; let us deprive death of its strangeness, let us frequent it, let us get used to it; let us have nothing more often in mind than death... We do not know where death awaits us: so let us wait for it everywhere."

    "To practice death is to practice freedom. A man who has learned how to die has unlearned how to be a slave.”
    Michel de Montaigne

  • #28
    Jane Austen
    “It is not time or opportunity that is to determine intimacy;—it is disposition alone. Seven years would be insufficient to make some people acquainted with each other, and seven days are more than enough for others.”
    Jane Austen, Sense and Sensibility

  • #29
    Rainer Maria Rilke
    “Make your ego porous. Will is of little importance, complaining is nothing, fame is nothing. Openness, patience, receptivity, solitude is everything.”
    Rainer Maria Rilke

  • #30
    Rainer Maria Rilke
    “only someone who is ready for everything, who doesn't exclude any experience, even the most incomprehensible, will live the relationship with another person as something alive and will himself sound the depths of his own being.”
    Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet
