I don’t love you with my mind and heart. I love you with my soul, in case my heart stops and my mind forgets. -Rumi

That thing you’re working for, do you really want it, or do you want others to see that you have it?

The desert teaches you more about water than the ocean ever could. -Proverb

One day, it will all come to an end. All of it. Work. Relationships. Health. Worry. Rest. Excitement. Strength. Weakness. Watch the sunrise in silence. Meditate in the rain. Laugh until you cry. Breathe deep in the chilly air. Let it be.

Reagan: “Dad, what are your best memories?” Me: “The mistakes I made, my dear” “Okay, do you ever say anything that doesn’t sound like it came from a book?” “I’m just me, does it bother you?” “No, but write that down in a book, and sell them. I want to go back to Disney!” 😆

Treat yourself how you want others to treat you.

Happiness is the discovery of hope. It happens each day, and we don’t realize it. A compliment given to us, a hug from someone, a smile on someone’s face, remembering a moment someone helped you, just because they chose to. All symptoms of hope, of happiness.

Isaiah 43:18

When you let go of who you are, you become who you might be. -Rumi

You woke up today. You wore clean clothes. You drove your car to your job. You ate, you talked to someone you cared about. You laughed and smiled. You went back to your house and you are about to sleep in your own bed. Not sure what you expected, but that’s a great day!

There is someone your age whose last day is today. Live in the moment. Text that person that you know cares about you. Don’t question yourself. Stop making excuses. Laugh, dance, smile, sing. Feel the freedom of a deep breath, Calm the mind, but let your imagination run wild.

If your peace depends on everything going right, that’s not trust, that’s control. It’s real simple, surround yourself with great people and you can navigate even the most intense storms.

Happiness is amazing, because it doesn’t matter if it’s yours or someone else’s. It has the same effect. The realest people I know are the ones that are only happy when their loved ones are happy. There’s no greater self-reflection than to ask yourself “are my actions helping?”

Forgive yourself for the mistakes you made when you didn’t know better. Quit acting like the book of life can be written backwards.

Life is inherently ridiculous. It makes us laugh, cry, angry, care, forget, remember, loose sleep, have nightmares, sleep like a baby, breathe deep, and it takes our breath away.

I’ve spent half my money on these things for my daughter: 1. Meals she ate half of 2. Toys she played with once 3. Candy and ice cream that got spilled on the floor of my car 4. Movies she slept through 5. Clothes she didn’t wear twice 6. Trips … and the other half, I wasted.
