The first step to getting anywhere

The first step to getting anywhere is deciding you’re no longer willing to stay where you are.

Who’s worth your tears...

In life you’re going to be left out, talked about, lied to and used.
But you have to decide who’s worth your tears and who’s not.

Conscious choice making

Whenever you’re making an important decision, first ask if it gets you closer to your goals or farther away.
If the answer is closer, pull the trigger. If it’s farther away, make a different choice.
Conscious choice making is a critical step in making your dreams a reality.
- Jillian Michaels

Don’t be afraid. Be alive.

What you have to decide is how you want your life to be.
If your forever was ending tomorrow,
would this be how you’d want to spend it?
Listen, the truth is, nothing is guaranteed.
You know that more than anybody.
So don’t be afraid. Be alive.
 - Sarah Dessen (The truth about forever)

No one is more qualified than you

Anarchism is the revolutionary idea
that no one is more qualified than you are
to decide what your life will be.

This is the day your life really begins.

The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. 

No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. 

The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.

- Bob Moawad

Keep trying, hold on, and always believe in yourself

This life is what you make it. No matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And baby, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up because if you give up, you'll never find your soulmate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.
- Marilyn Monroe

Where do you want to go?

 One day Alice came to a fork in the road and saw a Cheshire cat in a tree.
“Which road do I take?” she asked.
“Where do you want to go?” was his response.
“I don’t know,” Alice answered.
“Then,” said the cat, “it doesn't matter.”
-  Lewis Carroll

It’s really not that difficult.

It’s really not that difficult to overcome these seemingly ghastly problems…
What’s hard is to decide.
