The days are long, but the years are short.

There is a point where you have to stop the motion in your life, stop and look at where you're going, where you've been, and what you doing right now. You spend so much time trying to get more, when you already have enough, that you've forgot how to appreciate what is already yours.

A blessing is not a guarantee, it's an opportunity

Learn to be happy with what you have. Learn to congratulate others on their success, and thank God everyday that you have an opportunity to relish in the moment.

To change who you are is not to solely add new attributes to your character, but it is to simply look at the core of yourself honestly, and whittle away the traits that have come encumber you.

Through pain we grow, through growth we find understanding, through understanding we find acceptance, through acceptance we find love, through love we understand what it is to live.
