" Look around you and look inside you .
How many people do you think are settling ?
I will tell you : a hell of a lot of people .
People are settling everyday into okay relationships and okay jobs and an okay life .
And do you know why ?
Because okay is comfortable .
Okay pays the bills and gives you a warm bed at night and allows one to go out with co-workers on a Friday evening to enjoy happy hour .
But do you know what okay is not ?
Okay isn’t thrilling , it isn’t passion , it isn’t the reason you get out of bed and wake up everyday ;
it isn’t life changing or unforgettable .
Okay is not the reason you go to bed late and wake up early . Okay is not the reason you risk absolutely everything you’ve got just for the smallest chance that something absolutely amazing could happen .. "

I curled myself into a ball and cried quietly, doing that thing that only young people can do, namely, feeling sorry for myself. Once you're past thirty you lose that ability; instead of feeling sorry for yourself you turn bitter.

Accept everything about yourself - I mean everything, You are you and that is the beginning and the end - no apologies, no regrets.

He did not know how long it took, but later he looked back on this time of crying in the corner of the dark cave and thought of it as when he learned the most important rule of survival, which was that feeling sorry for yourself didn't work. It wasn't just that it was wrong to do, or that it was considered incorrect. It was more than that--it didn't work.

It isn't what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about.

The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there.

There are memories that time does not erase... Forever does not make loss forgettable, only bearable

have learned that if you must leave a place that you have lived in and loved and where all your yesteryears are buried deep, leave it any way except a slow way, leave it the fastest way you can. Never turn back and never believe that an hour you remember is a better hour because it is dead. Passed years seem safe ones, vanquished ones, while the future lives in a cloud, formidable from a distance

Listen to the people who love you. Believe that they are worth living for even when you don't believe it. Seek out the memories depression takes away and project them into the future. Be brave; be strong; take your pills. Exercise because it's good for you even if every step weighs a thousand pounds. Eat when food itself disgusts you. Reason with yourself when you have lost your reason

Be happy, it drives people crazy.
