In this life, we find ourselves discovering the future we once thought was so far out of reach. Tomorrow is here and today is already in our past. Life is short and each day passes like a wave crashing on the shore.  Make the good times count…and never let anyone bring you down.  The world is filled with jealousy.  Alone, you may be washed away. But together, we will stand strong in life as long as we have each other.

Hold my hand and never let go. As we grow older, we will always have each other. Thank you for holding my hand somewhere along the way when I was facing a wave of my own.  I hope you will reach for my hand when your own wave threatens.  To the world you might be one person, but to me you are the world.

All of us …old and young…near and far…Hold onto special memories of good times we’ve shared.  We’ve had our share of hard times when our friends were there to make us feel better.

We’ve shared our hearts…our time…our secrets…our fears…Our hopes and our dreams.  Someone will always be prettier…someone will always be smarter…their house will be bigger, they will drive a better car, their children will do better in school, and their husband will fix more things around the house. So, let it go. Be happy! And love yourself and your circumstances.

Think about it…The prettiest woman in the world can have trouble in her heart…and the most highly favored woman on your job may be unable to have children…and the richest woman you know, sure she’s got the car, the house, the clothes…but she may be very lonely. And the word says, “If I have not love, I have nothing” So again, love you!  Love who you are.  Look in the mirror in the morning and smile and say, “I am too blessed to be stressed, and too anointed to be disappointed!”

“Winners make things happen, Losers let things happen” Live, laugh, love, and be loved. Make every day count like it’s the last  No matter what happens and where life takes you, don’t forget where you came from and always remember the one’s who helped shape you into the beautiful person you are today.

I promise to always hold you in the middle of my heart forever and that each of you will be blessed with a life filled with love, health, and happiness always. Remember, even if all of our biggest dreams, wishes, and fairytale’s don’t come true; one thing is for certain… We will always have each other. And is the greatest happy ending of all. Wishing you all a happily ever after.

When you look ahead into your future, always remember that the best is yet to come.  With every day that passes, a new day is upon you.  Look forward to all of the possibilities that lie ahead and embrace the opportunities that await you.  In each waking moment, you are approaching your destiny. If you truly want something, you have everything it takes to go after it and get it.   No one else has the ability to make your destiny except for you. Find the willpower inside of yourself to be motivated, determined, guided, and inspired to move on forward.  Set forth with ambition, progress onward with anticipation, and advance forward with confidence and hope.  In the end, the result that lies ahead of you is far more rewarding than anything that lies behind you.  Discover it, seek it, and seize it;  the best is yet to come.

Often we take for granted the little things in life.  We get so caught up in the day to day hustle and bustle that we forget to stop for a moment and fully appreciate all the beautiful treasures among us.  All too often, we recognize the moments that make us feel weak inside and neglect to embrace the moments that make us feel alive.  In every little thing we do, we are living these precious moments.   Although we can’t go back in time, we can remember the moments that touched our lives forever.  We can relive those moments again as if they happened yesterday.   These are the times that will remind us of  our lives and all the memories that we  created over the years.  These are the special moments that tell the unique story of  who we are and what we will become.   From all the incredible milestones, adventures, new chapters, accomplishments, and achievements; these are the days that will be cherished the most when we look back on them in the future.  With every change of the season, every day that goes by, every birthday that passes;  live in the moment.  Remember the times.  Remember the feelings.  Remember the scents.  Remember the sounds.  Remember every little detail so that you can relive that moment again, and again, and all over again.   To be able to tell the story to your children, so that your children could tell the story to your grandchildren. To continue the story for generations and generations and to keep the feeling alive forever.  The moment you can live to tell the story, is the moment you have realized that you have truly lived.

Life is short. Live every day to the fullist. Always cherish the times you have together and hold the people you love the most close to your heart forever. These are the days that can’t be taken away from you. Look forward to the future but live for today. Here and now, make the best of every moment and never have any regrets.

Laugh, cry, play, dance, sing, and have fun! Be silly, childish, and spontaneous! Love your friends like they are your family and never let them go.  These are the days you will look back on. Make them count the most!

Treasure all the little joys in life. Time flies by so fast, hold onto every moment. Cherish the happy times and smile until your face hurts. Believe in miracles and let those miracles believe in you. Be Amazed. Give butterfly kisses. Shed happy tears at every little thing that warms your heart. Feel deeply and love unconditionally.  Be thankful for the little things in life. 

Fall inlove and share your heart. Watch sunsets together and stand in the rain. Share your hopes and live your dreams. Discover the power of love. Stand side by side, always and forever. Grow old together and love all the days of your life.  Always treasure these moments…these are the greatest moments in life.

Life is like a roadway that is comprised of many different obstacles and challenges along the way. Often times, it may feel as though the world is crashing down around you. No matter how hopeless it may seem you should always remember that the most powerful forces live inside of you. The power is in your strength to believe in yourself to overcome everything and anything that life throws at you. If you believe in this, you will never be defeated. Just like a blazing hot fire that tries to destroy a flourishing forest, it is saved by the freezing cold water that nourishes it with life again. Where there is a will, there is always a way. It is not the negativity that rids us of our happiness, but the absence of positivity that takes away our ability to be happy. The answer lies in your strength to conquer through and find the good in life. To make the best out of every compromising situation and to look ahead into tomorrow with confidence, aspiration, and determination. Do not allow yourself to surrender to the hardships in life, enable yourself to triumph in all the riches that life has to offer you. Surround yourself in prosperity and isolate yourself from anything that tries to strip you of positivity. The forces are as strong as a fire; and as intense as the fierce fire that burns inside of you. Although you can’t control the fire from being started, you have the power inside of you to put the fire out.

Remember when you were a child and life was so simple and sweet.  The world seemed so innocent, peaceful, and carefree.  There were no problems, no stress, and nothing to worry about.  Every day was like a holiday; a playful game of make believe where you could tell the story as you go.   Pretending you were a princess, king, monster, or some other character that you created in your wild imagination.  As you depended on your parents for everything, your life was guided by the decisions they made for you.  Simply awaking each morning to sunshine; you played, ate, and slept when you were told.  You were on top of the world, exploring and discovering, skipping along vivaciously into tomorrow.  When you look back, always remember this.

Remember when you were a teenager and life became a little awkward, complicated and rebellious.  As you were forced to leave adolescence, the transition into teen hood seemed more difficult and quite a bit unfair at times.  The struggle to make friends, to fit in, and to be accepted was crucial and one of the most important lessons and tests of the time.  Life was an adventure, manifested in the discovery of getting older.  The excitement of being a teenager presented you with many new obstacles –  both good and bad.  Influenced and pressured by your peers in almost all areas of life, it was your first true realization that you have walked out of the door of childhood and through a door that was preparing you for so much more.    As you devoted much of your teenage years obsessing over popularity and acceptance, many of the adolecent moments you shared with friends were some of the greatest days of your life.  When you look back, always remember this.

Remember when you were in your 20’s and life felt a little more thrilling and spontaneous.  You lived independently making choices and decisions that would potentially impact your life forever.  You were no longer a child or a teenager, but a mature and self-reliant adult.  Evolving into adulthood, you experienced many changes.   Friends, who used to be your friends, were no longer your friends anymore.  The strongest bonds of friendship existed in those who stuck by you through the most difficult times of all.  The power of your hearts truest and deepest emotions of love, hurt, denial, and pain revealed it’s amazing ability to heal.  Experiencing jealousy, betrayal, and lies you learned how to pick up the pieces and move on forward.    Life was good.   Finally, you were in the driver seat.  You could do whatever you wanted to do whenever you choosed to do it.  There was no one to tell you how to live your life.  The choice was up to you and you alone.   Risky behavior, fun and games, nightlife, drinking, experimenting, partying, were all those exciting pleasures that brought about many consequences.  Good times with great friends and memories that live on forever. Some would say, those were the days.  When you look back, always remember this.

Remember your 30’s when life seemed more balanced, realized, and yet the greatest awakening of all.  Life unfolded right before your eyes.  Your future is handed to you on a silver platter.  You see everything more clearly now, so clear that it is almost frightening.  A new adventure is uncovered, as you begin to prepare yourself for what is yet to come in the years ahead.  Everyone around you is getting married, getting divorced, having babies, buying houses, and getting older by the day.  It feels like life was suddenly put on fast forward and you can’t seem to slow it down.  It’s so exciting, thrilling, scary, and surreal all at the same time.   Your life undergoes many changes, some for the good and some for the bad.  Working hard every day to achieve success, money, and a prosperous future.  Holding on and reaching out for love, friendship, and family while cherishing them more than ever.   Eventually all the tiny pieces fit perfectly together into the big and complicated puzzle.  Sooner or later, everything falls into place.  No matter how long it takes, the reward is always worth the wait and the wait is always rewarding.  In your 30’s, time is of the essence, but many would reflect back and say they are the best years of your life.  Always reflect back on the memories and the days that are in the past and forever hold them close to your heart.   As you move forward in hope and premonition, look ahead with confidence and anticipation but don’t forget to stop, look back – and always remember.

As a child, I would gaze out of my window into the dark and peaceful night time sky.  I remember wishing upon a star and dreaming about what my future would be like.  I would picture my husband and imagine him being some where out there, at that very moment, living his life day by day.  I didn’t know who he was, where he lived, or when we would meet each other but I believed that he existed in this gigantic world of people.  In my dreams, I knew that one day our paths would lead to one another and we would travel the rest of our lifetime journey together, side by side. 

It’s actually amazing to think back to when you were a child and to reflect on the moments when you pictured your future.  There I was, a young and dreamy child, picturing the course of my life and where it would take me in ten, fifteen, even twenty years.   Back then, it felt like it was so far away, unreachable, unattainable; almost like it would never happen.  No matter how long it takes for you to get to that moment, it is those exhilarating visions and aspirations that enable you to believe and to achieve.  All those endless wishes upon a star, are not just wishes, but the extraordinary magic that drives you to explore the world and all of its greatest possibilities and opportunities.  It is the power of the mind to begin telling the fairytale and unfold the pages of life one day at a time.  To give a sense of hope and meaning, something to believe in, and something to live for.  As we explore, search, and desparately seek for our future, we discover the journey.  The journey that life has taken us to find ourselves.  To find who we are and where we were always meant to be.   The journey into our destiny.  Like a fairytale, the chapters of life unfold its infinite pages.  The journey takes its course.  The timelss and endless  journey into our future.

In life, we all have dreams. Some of us dream of getting married and having a family, becoming successful, traveling the world, buying a house, or simply helping others. Without dreams, there would be little meaning in our lives.  We need dreams to help guide us through the crazy world we live in and give us direction on exactly where we chose to go.  Just as we set goals to help us achieve milestones, we have dreams to help us fulfill our greatest desires.

Although everyone’s circumstances are different, anyone has the potential to make the best of any situation. We need to put our heart and mind into it, step back and consider where we are at this moment and what steps we need to take to get to exactly where we want to go. We are in control of our destiny and have the power to make it happen. If we have a goal and find ourselves having difficulty achieving that goal, it is important to evaluate what we might be doing wrong and what we could do better. 

Every choice, every decision, and every opportunity will help us to get where we want to go.   In some instances, we might make a decision that will set us back.  Instead of giving up, we should learn from that decision and grow from it. It is not the mistakes we  make, but the steps we take to avoid making those mistakes again.  Every mistake makes you stronger and brings you that much closer to where you want to go.

Discover oneself.  Explore the amazing power we have inside to make those dreams come true.  Step back and look at the bigger picture.  This is life.  Make the best of the life we are in at this moment.  Dream it… think it, seek it, and make it happen.  Bring it to life, rather than keeping it hidden far away. Focus time and energy on achieving it, rather than focusing time and energy on thinking that it will never happen.  When we truly want something in life, it is important to believe in our ability to have it.  We all have the key to unlock the door to our dreams.  All we need to do is use that key, open the door and invite it to enter into our lives.   Allow it to be a part of who we are and it will become precisely what we dreamed it would be. 

Life is what we choose to make it.   It’s not the dreams we make, but the dreams we live.   Always live your dreams.

Imagination.  It’s such an amazing and powerful tool.  It is whimsical, magical and creative.  We all used our imaginations every single day when we were children.  We would dig deep into our minds and picture the most unbelievable  images and fantasies.  From storytelling to make believe, we all expressed ourselves through our vivid imagination.  It’s interesting to think about how often we used our imagination when we were children, yet as adults we rarely imagine at all.  Somewhere along the way, we became fearful to imagine.  Why is this?   We should not fear our imagination, as it has the power to bring everything we ever wanted to reality.   There are so many amazing and unbelievable possiblities that our imagination could create.   Just as a child, from dreamy stories to beautiful fantasies to all of our desires and dreams.  Each and every single one of us has the ability to produce exactly what we imagine. 

If it’s romance you are looking for, imagine your prince charming and seek him out!   If it’s a career you dream about, imagine the job and do it!  If it’s innovation you want, imagine the concept and bring it to life!  There are absolutely no limits.  Why reach for the sky when you can hold a star in your hands.  With our imagination, we can create a world that we never thought could exist before.  We have the power within ourselves to imagine the world in all of its best and richest detail and to bring even more of that beauty into our lives. 

Let us allow imagination to work its way into our lives again.  Imagine all of the amazing possibilities.  Imagine what tremendous opportunities would exist.  Imagine the magic.  We can provide true meaning to our experiences and truly make sense of the world we live in, with imagination.  Life becomes everything you ever wanted it to be and more.  All we need to do is, imagine.

We live in a world that is constantly changing at such a fast pace that if you forget to stop and look, it might just pass you by.  In this life, there are no second chances or going back in time.  If we have dreams and desires, we need to do everything in our power and our will to go after them.  Life is too short.  The time to make a difference is here and now.   Someone that I hold very close to my heart, once told me that the key to  being successful is simply being discovered.   Explore what you are good at and what sets you apart from everyone else.  Do not be afraid to share your amazing skills with the rest of the world.  Right now, you have the potential to be anything you want to be and do anything you dreamed of doing.  The answer lies in your ability to take action and to make something happen.

This world is filled with so many endless  and vast opportunities.  They surround us every single day as we go on living our normal lives.  We all have the special gift of being who we are, that makes each of us unique.   Right here and now, take a brief moment to realize who you truly are and what you can do to share your gift with the rest of the world.
