Nothing lasts forever is the hardest
lesson we all learn in the hardest way
and the world is going to judge you
no matter what you do, so live your
life the way you want and work on it
every single day and be done and
know that to be outstanding you must
get comfortable with being uncomfortable.

Every positive change in your life begins
a clear decision that you are going to
either do something, or stop doing something,
so stay too busy on your own grass to
notice if the grass is greener on the other side.

It's nice to be important. but it's more
important to be nice and know the truth
doesn't cost anything, but a lie could cost
you everything so make it your mission in
life to be so happy and loving that you
have no time for hate, regret, worry, or fear.

Words are free, it's how you use them
that could cost you, so focus on what
matters and let go what doesn't and people
who wonder whether the glass is half
empty or half full miss the point.
The glass is refillable.

The secret of being happy is accepting
where you are in life and making the best
out of every day knowing happiness is a
choice that requires effort at times, so make
today amazing and stop complaining and
appreciate what you have.
