To be fully seen by somebody, then, and be loved anyhow - this is a human offering that can border on miraculous.
There is so much about my fate that I cannot control, but other things do fall under the jurisdiction. I can decide how I spend my time, whom I interact with, whom I share my body and life and money and energy with. I can select what I can read and eat and study. I can choose how I'm going to regard unfortunate circumstances in my life-whether I will see them as curses or opportunities. I can choose my words and the tone of voice in which I speak to others. And most of all, I can choose my thoughts.
And when you sense a faint potentiality for happiness after such dark times you must grab onto the ankles of that happiness and not let go until it drags you face-first out of the dirt-this is not selfishness, but obligation. You were given life; it is your duty to find something beautiful within life no matter how slight.
People tend to think that happiness is a stroke of luck, something that will descend like fine weather if you're fortunate. But happiness is the result of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly.
To live. To love. To laugh. To learn.

To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.

Cuteâs good. But cute only lasts for so long, and then itâs, Who are you as a person? Thatâs the advice I would give to women: Donât look at the bankbook or the title. Look at the heart. Look at the soul. Look at how the guy treats his mother and what he says about women. How he acts with children he doesnât know. And, more important, how does he treat you? When youâre dating a man, you should always feel good. You should never feel less than. You should never doubt yourself. You shouldnât be in a relationship with somebody who doesnât make you completely happy and make you feel whole. And if youâre in that relationship and youâre dating, then my advice is, donât get married. - Michelle Obama
Remember, people will judge you by your actions, not your intentions. You may have a heart of gold - but so does a hard-boiled egg.
This is all you have. This is not a dry run. This is your life. If you want to fritter it away with your fears, then you will fritter it away, but you won't get it back later. ~ Laura Schlessinger
