“We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we’re curious and curiosity keeps leading up down new paths”
—Walt Disney— (via never-neverlandd)
“Life is so only-once, so single-chancish! It all depends on your arranging and synchronising it so that when opportunity knocks you’re right there waiting with your hand on the doorknob.”
—Sylvia Plath (Happy birthday)
“You can’t cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water.”
—Rabindranath Tagore (via yogachocolatelove)
“If you try anything, if you try to lose weight, or to improve yourself, or to love, or to make the world a better place, you have already achieved something wonderful, before you even begin. Forget failure. If things don’t work out the way you want, hold your head up high and be proud. And try again. And again. And again!”
—Sarah Dessen (Keeping the Moon)
“It’s never about winning or losing when you’re on the field. It’s about how hard you worked in the off-season to better yourself. It’s about giving everything you have. It’s about blood, sweat, and tears. When the game is over and you walk off that field, you ask yourself one simple question: Did I give it my all? Did I give everything I had? If your answer is yes, you succeeded. If your answer is no, you just keep training harder and prove to yourself what you’re capable of doing.”

“Hearing tells you that the music is playing, but listening tells you what the song is saying. There are times we hear but we forget to listen.”

“So love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don’t, and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said it would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it. Eventually feels a lot better than actually.”
—Meredith Grey, Grey’s Anatomy (via lookoutforquotes)
“You can choose to blame your circumstances on fate, or bad luck, or bad choices.
Or you can fight back. Things aren’t always gonna be fair in the real world, that’s just the way it is.
But for the most part, you get what you give. Let me ask you all a question, what’s worse-
not getting everything you wished for, or getting it but finding it’s not enough?
The rest of your life is being shaped right now, with the dreams you chase, the choices you make,
and the person you decide to be. The rest of your life is a long time, and the rest of your life starts right now.”
—One Tree Hill (via wordsandlyrics)

Do you realize, that you have the most beautiful face?
Do you realize, we’re floating in space?
Do you realize, that happiness makes you cry?

“Take chances, take a lot of them. Because honestly, no matter where you end up and with whom, it always ends up just the way it should be. Your mistakes make you who you are. You learn and grow with each choice you make. Everything is worth it. Say how you feel, always. Be you, and be okay with it.”
—Unknown (via cool-kids-cant-die)
“A good laugh and a long sleep are the best cures in the doctor’s book.”

“You’re going to come across people in your life who will say all the right words at all the right times. But in the end, it’s always their actions you should judge them by. It’s actions, not words, that matter.”

“A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval.”

“Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don’t know how to replenish it’s source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.”
—Anais Nin
“Throw your dreams into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back, a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country.”
—Anais Nin
“Never confuse a single defeat with a final defeat.”

“You’ve got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don’t settle.”

“Attitude is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than what people do or say. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill.”
—Charles R.Swindoll
“But, as bad as it was, I learned something about myself. That I could go through something like that and survive. I mean, I know it could have been worse—a lot worse—but for me, it was all I could have handled at the time. And I learned from it.”
—Nicholas Sparks, Dear John (via simply-quotes)
