10 Quotes I Live By Every Day

I promise you, these quotes will bring a little power and positivity to your everyday life. It is so essential to look back or have something on your rough days that will make you stronger, and I would have to say this definitely does that for me.

1. "If you always do what interests you, at least one person is pleased." - Katharine Hepburn

This quote really speaks volumes to me because at the end of the day, it is most important to make yourself happy. If you do this, it is all that really matters.

2. "There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure." - Paulo Coelho

I really love this quote and often find myself looking back at it because it is easy to go after anything as long as you are not scared to fail. The fear can often hold us back, but it is important to not let it.

3. "If you really want to do something, you'll find a way; if you don't, you'll find an excuse." - Jim Rohn

This quote is also super cool to me because if you really want to do something within your life, you will do whatever it takes to make sure that you get it done. Otherwise, you are just finding excuses and must not want it that badly.

4. "The greatest lesson of life is that you are responsible for your life." - Oprah Winfrey

I love this quote because only WE are in control as to how our life goes and what path we choose to follow. Although it is true that we cannot choose the things that happen to us, we can choose where we go from there.

5. "Obstacles are those things you see when you take your eyes off the goal." - Henry Ford

This quote goes out to all my go-getters. In life, when you have goals, nothing will deter you from being able to achieve them.

6. "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

Dr. Seuss, I will always be grateful for this quote! Life is too short to be anything other than yourself.

7. "There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work and learning from failure." - Colin Powell

Success is what we achieve when we work hard for it, and there are no secrets or special ways to get around it.

8. "Just remember: The people that say your dreams are impossible have already quit on theirs." - Grant Cardone

I love this quote because you should never let anyone stop you from living your life the way you deserve to!!!

9. "Wherever you are, be able there." - Jim Elliot

This quote is simple and that is probably why I love it so much, It is so important to just be in the moment in life because what comes before or after does not matter at that time.

10. "If you don't like the road you're walking, start paving another one." - Dolly Parton

Last but not least, it really is THAT simple. If you do not like the direction in which you are headed, then CHANGE. YOUR. DIRECTION. That's that.

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.
