You learn very quickly about those you can truly rely on and those who incessantly let you down. Inadvertently, you also learn to rely on yourself.

Ironically, the very substances that people become dependent on to evade their own self destruction are the catalysts of that process.

People seem to lose themselves in the comfort of daily routine and inevitably become complacent about truly living.

You may not always have the ability to change your environment but you always have the ability to change your attitude towards it.

I have learned that understanding will only come from accepting people's reality as they view it and not as you interpret it.

Make decisions with your mind alongside your heart, for decisions based on pure rationality lack passion and those made solely on emotion bring only temporary satisfaction.
