Though times don’t last; tough people do.










What defines us is how well we rise after falling.









No matter how strong a person is...


No matter how strong a person is,
they have a weak point
and sometimes all they need is a hug.







The worst part about being strong...


The worst part about being strong is that no one ever asks if you’re okay.

The perfect day:


Going to bed with a dream and waking up with a purpose.

Success
What people think it looks like / What it really looks like.







Choose your words wisely


Choose your words wisely. It only takes one negative comment to kill a dream.







When you haven’t done any work


Distinction
Looking sharp is easy when you haven’t done any work.

Fear is a choice


You must realize, that fear is not real. It’s a product of thoughts you create. Do not misunderstand me, danger is very real, but fear is a choice.







Who cares


My head says, “who cares?”
But then my heart whispers, “you do, stupid…”







Love or fear - it’s your choice.










It is difficult to see the wisdom in the scars...


The pain that you experience in life shouldn’t make you look down on yourself or make you look backward and lose sight of your tomorrow. It is difficult to see the wisdom in the scars they leave behind. But once you discover them, you will realize it is your attitude towards them that will make or break the rest of your days.
- Dodinsky

There is always hope










And once the storm is over


And once the storm is over,
you won’t remember how you made it through,
how you managed to survive.
You won’t even be sure,
whether the storm is really over.
But one thing is certain.
When you come out of the storm,
you won’t be the same person who walked in.
That’s what this storm’s all about.
- Haruki Murakami
(This TOO shall pass)







There’s so much beauty in a storm


Understand that if you’re cold I’ll keep you warm and besides, there’s so much beauty in a storm.







A special heart that listens



To be kind is more important than to be right.
Many times, what people need is not a brilliant mind that speaks
but a special heart that listens.

You are one of a kind and you are worthy



You are one of a kind and you are worthy. 
You are beautiful and you are deserving. 
You are important and you are special. 
Do not let anyone or anything convince you otherwise.







Don’t allow your wounds to transform you


Don’t allow your wounds to transform you into someone you are not.
- Paulo Coelho







A world so hateful...


A world so hateful some would rather die than be who they are.







The way you treat women


Homophobia: the fear that gay men will treat you the way you treat women.

You can break down temporarily


You can break down a woman temporarily,
but a real woman will always pick up the pieces,
rebuild herself, and come back stronger than ever.







You are confined only by the walls you build yourself










Things we don’t want


There are things we don’t want to happen, but have to accept;
things we don’t want to know, but have to learn,
and people we can’t live without, but have to let go.







You can’t close your heart


You can close your eyes to the things you don’t want to see
but you can’t close your heart to the things you don’t want to feel.

Meraki


Meraki
(n.) the soul, creativity, or love put into something; the essence of yourself that is put into your work.







Never ignore what your heart pumps for



Ignoring your passion is slow suicide. 

Never ignore what your heart pumps for. 
Mold your career around your lifestyle 
not your lifestyle around your career.







Stay within the lines


No matter what they tell you, you don’t have to stay within the lines.







The creative adult is the child who survived

Somewhere someone is looking for exactly what you have to offer.










The most painful goodbyes...


The most painful goodbyes are the ones that are never said and never explained.







When I hear that my crush likes someone else…









Truth is...


Truth is, I get jealous easily because what’s mine is mine. I’m stubborn as hell, I say sorry too much. I act like I don’t give a fuck because I care too much. I over analyze the smallest of things and probably come off as a bitch to simply guard myself.

Contemplate how amazing life is


For one minute, walk outside, stand there,
In silence look up at the sky,
And contemplate how amazing life is.







There is a bit of magic in everything, look closely.








How to be happy
Rule 0386

Live the life you love, love the life you live











The Holstee Manifesto


This is your life. Do what you love and do it often.
If you don’t like something, change it.
If you don’t like your job, quit.
If you don’t have enough time, stop watching TV.
If you are looking for the love of your life, stop; they will be waiting for you when you start doing things you love.
Stop over analyzing, Life is simple.
All emotions are beautiful.
When you eat, appreciate every last bite.
Open your mind, arms and heart to new things and people, we are united in our differences.
Ask the next person you see what their passion is, and share your inspiring dream with them.
Travel often; getting lost will help you find yourself.
Some opportunities only come once, seize them.
Life is about the people you meet, and the things you create with them so go out and start creating.
Life is short. Live your dream, and wear your passion.
