Respect yourself enough to walk away from anything that no longer serves you, grows you, or makes you happy.
It’s easy to look at people and make quick judgments about them, their present and their past, but you’d be amazed at the pain and tears a single smile hides. What a person shows to the world is only one tiny facet of the iceberg hidden from sight. And more often than not, it’s lined with cracks and scars that go all the way to the foundation of their soul.
Sherrilyn Kenyon (via julie911)

I laughed out loud today.

I ran under the open sky today.

I sipped on my coffee today.

I wasted some time today.

I did it all.  Today.

Well, I didn’t do it all. But I did do enough to feel productive.  The past few months have been full of ups and downs, blessings and hurdles.  I am excited though, and very proud to say, that I’m half way done with my master’s degree now!  Or at least I will be in just a few days!

Great public figures and world changers often come from very humble beginnings.

I live in Houston…and I love it.  And I love the little kids in this video.  They are smart.  I think adults would do well to listen to the advice and wisdom of these youngsters!

I will go.  

And when I hear my name called,

I will listen.

There is a mysterious cycle in human events.  To some generations much is given.  Of other generations much is expected.  This generation of Americans has a rendezvous with destiny.  ~Franklin D. Roosevelt

Sometimes I wake up with a heavy heart, but then I realize that today is just 1 day. And I can breath a bit easier knowing that I’m only responsible for living this day in front of me.
