One of Megan's favorite quotes is:""When you judge another, you do not define them, you define yourself. Other people's opinion of you does not have to become your reality."
"Everyone needs something to believe in. It's what keeps us going. It gives us that hope, that what we are doing has a purpose."
"Live for the moments that bring butterflies to your stomach and smiles to your face."
âThe brightest blazes of happiness are often kindled by unexpected sparks."
"Life is about trusting our feelings and taking chances, losing and finding happiness, appreciating the memories and learning from the past."
"Happiness is knowing that somewhere there is someone who only cares for you, someone who will pick you up when you fall, someone who only knows you, who will hold you when you cry and embrace you when you smile; happiness is when you know that person is just for YOU."
"âCause I got a couple dents in my fender
Got a couple rips in my jeans
Try to fit the pieces together
But perfection is my enemy
On my own I'm so clumsy
But on Your shoulders I can see
I'm free to be me"
"Itâs your life
What you gonna do?
The world is watching you
Every day the choices you make
Say what you are and who
Your heart beats for
Itâs an open door
Itâs your life"
"There is one moment in your life when you are with someone and you feel like the world has stopped and your life seems so perfect, make sure you never lose that person."
âIâll help you up when life gets you down. Remember to smile and never frown. Live life crazy with no regrets. Never look back but never forget.â
"You are the one who makes me whole in my heart and in my soul. Just like the sun you show me the light. I'm amazed and you're the reason why."
"Don't be with a person you can live with. Be with a person you can't live without."
"Every little thing that you do, Baby I'm amazed by you"
"Women are like fine wine-They get better with age." :)
"I like to know what makes you cry, so I can be the one who always makes you smile." :)
"It's not who you've been with, it's about who you end up with. Sometimes, the heart doesn't know what it wants until it finds what it wants."
"Sometimes you gotta quit thinking so much. If it feels right, it probably is. So just go with it."
"With you, I didnât have to think twice or question myself. I kind of already knew what I wanted."
"True love is not something that comes everyday, Follow your heart, it knows the right answer."
"â'Go for someone who is not only proud to have you, but will also take every risk to keep you.'
"Love is a gift, not an obligation, follow your heart and always trust the person you love."
"Somewhere there's someone who dreams of your smile, And finds in your presence that life is worth while, So when you are lonely, remember it's true: Somebody, somewhere is thinking of you."
â3 Things in life to remember: 1.Do what makes you happy 2.Listen to your heart and 3.Trust yourself..because the only person who knows whats best for you..is you.
"Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it."
"With everything that has happened to you, you can either feel sorry for yourself or treat what has happened as a gift. Everything is either an opportunity to grow or an obstacle to keep you from growing. You get to choose."
"The winners in life think constantly in terms of I can, I will, and I am. Losers, on the other hand, concentrate their waking thoughts on what they should have or would have done, or what they canât do."
"The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of...Expand for more
everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way."
"If anyone ever asks me what part of my life you are, I will look at them and smile and say, The best part. The happiness you give me is something I'll never be able to get enough of. I love having you in my world, and I love having you to love."
"People search their whole lives for one moment of what we share when we're together."
"Anyone can acheive their fullest potential. Who we are might be predetermined; but the path we follow is always of our own choosing. We should never allow our fears or the expectations of others set the frontiers of our destiny. Your destiny can't be changed, but it can be challenged."
"Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase. Just take the first step."
âMissing someone gets easier everyday. Because, even though it is one day further from the last time you saw each other, it is one day closer to the next time you willâ
I might not get to see you as often as I'd like, I may not get to hold you in my arms at night, but deep in my heart I know that it's true. No matter what happens... I will always love you.
âIf I never met you, I wouldn't like you. If I didn't like you, I wouldn't love you. If I didn't love you, I wouldn't miss you. But I did, I do, and I will.â
"You must learn from the mistakes of others. You can't possibly live long enough to make them all yourself."
"Distance between two hearts is not an obstacle... rather a beautiful reminder of just how strong true love can be."
"In two days from now, tomorrow will be yesterday. So, value every day and make it count."
"Live each day to the fullest. You never know when your last day could be."
"Keep your eye on the ball." (PAPA.. aww.. i love him!!!)
âThe key to change... is to let go of fear. Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.â
"I hope you know, That this has nothing to do with you, It's personal, myself and I, We've got some straightenin' out to do, And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket, But I've got to get a move on with my life, It's time to be a big girl now, And big girls don't cry..."
"We all have big changes in our lives that are more or less a second chance. All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another."
"I think you know immediately...You know as soon as your eyes...Then everything that happens from then on just proves that you had been right in that first moment... When you suddenly realized you had been incomplete and now you are whole."
"HEY GIRL HEY!!!"
"DANCE as though no one is watching you...
LOVE as though you have never been hurt before...
SING as though no one can hear you...
LIVE as though heaven is on earth "
"If God brings you to it, He'll bring you through it."
"Best friends can see the hurt in your eyes, while other people are fooled by your smile."
"Never try to be as others wish you to be. Be true to yourself. Those that truely adore you will love you even more!"
"God bless the broken road that led me straight to you"
"Winners don't wait for chances, they take them."
"Listen to your heart..."
"If you think you are beaten, you are,
If you think that you dare not, you don't,
If you'd like to win, but you think you can't,
It's almost certain you won't.
If you think you'll lose, you've lost,
For out in the world you'll find,
Success begins with a fellow's will,
It's all in the state of mind.
If you think you are outclassed, you are,
You've got to think high to rise,
You've got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man,
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can."
"Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them-a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill. "".
