Everything you do, even the smallest thing, effects someone else at some point. Good or bad.

Amazing how people are so quick to judge others. What is even more amazing, are those that judge and condemn people for doing the exact same thing they themselves have been guilty of. What a miserable existence that must be...looking for the flaws in everyone else in the poor attempt to feel superior.

If that little voice in your head tells you to give up, but your heart won't let you, fire that little voice!

Roadblocks occur to test our determination and how much we really want what we are going after. If you quit, then you didn't really want it to begin with.

I wear my heart on my sleeve. I just trust people too easily. I usually create a false image of who I want them to be instead of who they really are. Soon, it's the fantasy person I trust. I believe it when they say, "I'm your friend" or "you can trust me". I'm the cause of my own downfall. I trust people too easily. But I learned my lesson; trust no one.

Sometimes we just have to have a total and complete breakdown before we can move on, change or get help. Maybe this has to happen in order for us to have the chance to put the pieces back together in a different way. An opportunity to decide which pieces we need to keep, which ones we need to discard and which ones need to be added. A chance to be the Phoenix rising up through the ashes stronger than before.
