Sometimes they’re worth it

In this world we have to take chances,
sometimes they’re worth it and sometimes they’re not.
But I’m telling you now, you will never know until you try.

No, I’m not a bitch...

No, I’m not a bitch.
I’ve just been through a few things,
Seen a few things, been there and done that.
Yes, I guess I’m cold now.
But only because I once gave a damn
About someone who didn't give a damn about me.
I've built a wall around myself,
To protect my heart from more hurt and damage.
I won’t believe you if you tell me you’re different.
Unless you stick around and prove it.
Words no longer mean a thing,
Your actions are everything.

People who dream and support and do things

I want to be around people that do things.
I don’t want to be around people anymore that judge or talk about what other people do.
I want to be around people who dream and support and do things.
- Amy Poehler

Success - What it really looks like

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

When you haven’t done any work

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

Words don’t mean a thing, actions are everything.

She may come across as hard to get, but that’s because she’s been through a few things, seen a few things, been there and done that. She’s cold… yes, but only because she once cared about someone who failed to care about her. She’s built a fortress to protect her heart from further damage. You told her that you’re different but she won’t believe it until you prove it. Words don’t mean a thing, actions are everything.

Just close your eyes and dream your dreams.

Close your eyes my little one,

Close your eyes and dream,

You can be anyone

Anyone you dream.

You can go anywhere,

Do anything,

Be anyone,

Just close your eyes

And dream your dreams.

- RJ Burns

A paved road

Normality is a paved road: it’s comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow on it.
- Vincent van Gogh

You are not your past

You are not your past actions.
You are not your past failures.
You are not how others have at one time treated you.
You are only who you think you are right now in this moment.
You are only what you do right now in this moment.

Dreams don’t work unless you do.

20 seconds of insane courage

All you need is 20 seconds of insane courage and I promise you something great will come of it.

Three simple rules in life

1. If you do not go after what you want, you’ll never have it.
2. If you do not ask, the answer will be no.
3. If you do not step forward, you will always be in the same place.

Your actions speak so loudly, I can’t hear a word you’re saying.

It’s never too late to be whoever you want to be

For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same; there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.
- F. Scott Fitzgerald

As much as I dream I can be

Only as high as I reach can I grow,
only as far as I seek I can go,
only as deep as I look I can see,
only as much as I dream I can be.

Magic is believing in yourself

Magic is believing in yourself. If you can do that, you can make anything happen.

The better you become, the better you attract.

This life is yours.

Look at you. You're young. And you're scared. Why are you so scared? Stop being paralyzed. Stop swallowing your words. Stop caring what other people think. Wear what you want. Say what you want. Listen to the music you want to listen to. Play it as loud as you want and dance to it. Go out for a drive at midnight and forget you have school the next day. Stop waiting for Friday. Live now. Do it now. Take risks. Tell secrets. This life is yours.

(When are you going to realize that you can do whatever you want?)
