One of Tracy's favorite quotes is:""Some people weave burlap into the fabric of our lives, some weave gold thread, some can even add glitter, rhinestones & a matching bow. Every once in while some people may try to smear poo on the fabric, but that is why we have washing machines!"
"Courage does not always roar... sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day, saying, I will try again tomorrow."
"Ask most people what they want out of life and the answer is simple - to be happy. Maybe it's this expectation though of wanting to be happy that just keeps us from ever getting there. Maybe the more we try to will ourselves to state's of bliss, the more confused we get - to the point where we don't recognize ourselves. Instead we just keep smiling - trying to be the happy people we wish we were. Until it eventually hits us, it's been there all along. Not in our dreams or our hopes but in the known, the comfortable, the familiar"
"We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep todayâs possibility under tomorrowâs rug until we canât anymore. Until we finally understand for ourselves what Benjamin Franklin meant...That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping and that even the biggest failure or the worst mistake beats the hell out of never trying"
"You know how when you were a little kid and you believed in fairy tales, that fantasy of what you...Expand for more
r life would be, white dress, prince charming who would carry you away to a castle on a hill. You would lie in bed at night and close your eyes and you had complete and utter faith. Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, Prince Charming, they were so close you could taste them, but eventually you grow up, one day you open your eyes and the fairy tale disappears. Most people turn to the things and people they can trust. But the thing is its hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely cause almost everyone has that smallest bit of hope, of faith, that one day they will open their eyes and it will come true."
"This to shall pass..."
"At the end of the day faith is a funny thing. It turns up when you don't really expect it. Its like one day you realize that the fairy tale may be slightly different than you dreamed. The castle, well, it may not be a castle. And its not so important happy ever after, just that its happy right now. See once in a while, once in a blue moon, people will surprise you , and once in a while people may even take your breath away."
"Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do"
"After careful consideration and many sleepless nights, hereâs what I've decided. There's no such thing as a grown-up. We move out, we move away from our families. But the basic insecurities, the fears and all the old wounds just grow up with us. Just when you think life has forced you to truly become an adult, your mother says something like that. We get bigger, taller, older. But, for the most part, we're still a bunch of kids, running around the playground, trying desperately to fit in"
"YES, of course there is more to the story and NO, I am not going to tell you. I choose the high road."".
