10 Quotes To Live By
myspiritualfix

Some days we need a little inspiration to get us through the day and other days, we may look for motivation for how to live our lives. On these days, these quotes below are the best to read in order to guide us through tough days and through our lives in general.

1) "I think everybody's weird. We should all celebrate our individuality and not be ashamed of it." -Johnny Depp

Not one person is exactly the same as another. Everyone has their own quirks and weirdness to them that makes them who they are. We need to accept that everyone is different from one another and that these unique qualities are something amazing that makes them the people that they are.

2) "I have not failed, I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." -Thomas Alva Edison

Everyone fails time and time again at certain things, that's just how we learn. We shouldn't let these failures discourage us because the more we fail, the closer we are on the path to success.

3) "The brave may not live forever, but the cautious do not live at all."

In life, we must take chances every once in awhile. I'm not saying you should be entirely reckless, I'm just saying that some of the greatest things come from risk taking and that our fear of what may be shouldn't keep us from experiencing some incredible things.

4) "A day without a friend is like a pot of honey without a single drop of honey left inside." -Winnie The Pooh

Friends are like our family that aren't connected to us by blood. We should never take our friends for granted because no matter what we know that they are always there for us, and some of our greatest memories are with them.

5) "It's better to look back on life and say 'I can't believe I did that' than to look back and say 'I wish I did that."

Regrets teach us lessons in life, but curiosity of what could have been if we did something will stick with us forever and eat us up inside.

6) "Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in our heart." -Winnie The Pooh

We should never take small experiences for granted, for those experiences may end up being the greatest memories.

7) "Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." -Dr.Seuss

Any person in your life who belittles you or tries to change who you are is a person who does not belong in your life. Your true friends and family accept you for who you are and will only try to change you if they believe that it would be beneficial for you.

8) "Every saint has a past, every sinner has a future."

Your past does not define who you are. Maybe you have a not-so-great past, who you are now and how you have overcome that past is what matters not who you once were. Maybe you have a not-so-great life right now; you can always better yourself because it is never too late to change paths and switch to one that is better for you.

9) "You cannot control everything that happens to you; you can only control the way you respond to what happens. In your response is your power."

Take everything with grace. Two wrongs don't make a right, so when something bad or wrong happens to you, do not reciprocate but rather take what happened to you and keep it as a lesson learned.

10) "Life is short. Smile while you still have teeth."

As they say, "A smile is infectious, you can catch it like the flu." A smile can make a person's day and switch your mood to a positive feeling just by carrying it on your face, so always carry a smile on your face because a smile is a curve that sets everything straight.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
