It’s become very apparent to me that the older you are the less praise you’re going to get. When you’re 3 and you paint a picture outside the lines, they give you gold stars. When you’re 10 and you score a goal, they take you out for ice-cream. But when you’re 17 and struggling to fit in, no one gives you a hug just for making it through the day. And when you’re 23 and pulling long hours at the office, no one asks if you’re alright. And you start to wonder if you are, if there’s a point to any of it. The answer is yes. Because good work, real good work that shapes your character, doesn’t need to be acknowledged. You grow in the silences, in the reflections, in the inhales and exhales that let you know you’ve made it from one moment to the other.

Life is too short to waste time on people who don’t lift you up, who don’t inspire you - they’ll eventuelly drain you.

Some birds are not meant to be caged, that’s all. Their feathers are too bright, their songs too sweet and wild. So you let them go, or when you open the cage to feed them they somehow fly out past you. And the part of you that knows it was wrong to imprison them in the first place rejoices, but still, the place where you live is that much more drab and empty for their departure.
Stephen King (via meineluft )

Love is the master key that opens the gates of happiness.

Be nice to yourself. It is hard to be happy when someone is being mean to you all the time.

In the end, we only regret the chances we didn’t take, relationship we are afraid to have, and the decisions we waited to long to make.

No matter how busy a person is, if they care, they’ll find time for you.
Unknown (via quotefeeling )

She had a way of seeing the beauty in others, even, and perhaps most especially, when that person couldn’t see it in themselves.

You’re seeking something, but at the same time, you are running away for all you’re worth.

I know what it’s like to be afraid of your own mind.

Words never mean what we want them to mean.

Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you’ll start having positive results.
Willie Nelson (via quotefeeling )

Tell the negativity committee that meets inside your head to sit down and shut up.
Martin Seligman (via thoughtkick )

You have to have a dream so you can get up in the morning.
Billy Wilder (via thoughtkick )

A mistake is an accident. Cheating and lying are not mistakes, they are intentional choices.

Hiding your hurt only intensifies it. Problems grow in the dark and only become bigger and bigger, but when exposed to the light of truth, they shrink. You are only as sick as your secrets. So take off your mask, stop pretending you’re perfect and walk into freedom.
Rick Warren (via thoughtkick )

Family life is a bit like a runny peach pie - not perfect but who’s complaining?
Robert Breault (via meineluft )

The saddest word in the whole wide world is the word almost. He was almost in love. She was almost good for him. He almost stopped her. She almost waited. He almost lived. They almost made it.
Nikita Gill (via thoughtkick )

Let our hearts and hands be stretched out in compassion toward others, for everyone is walking his or her own difficult path.
Dieter F. Uchtdorf (via thoughtkick )

Behind every favorite song, there is an untold story.

Knowing how to be solitary is central to the art of loving. When we can be alone, we can be with others without using them as a means of escape.
Bell Hooks (via thoughtkick )
