Quote of the day

"There are three simple rules in life: If you don’t go after what you want, you’ll never have it. If you don’t ask, the answer will always be no. If you don’t step forward you’ll always be in the same place. "

"The work you do while you procrastinate is probably the work you should be doing for the rest of your life."

10 Rules for Being Human

By Cherie Carter-Scott

1.	You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it's yours to  keep for the entire period.
2.	You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school  called, "life."
3.	There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial,  error, and experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiments that ultimately "work."
4.	Lessons are repeated until they are learned. A lesson will be  presented to you in various forms until you have learned it.  When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson.
5.	Learning lessons does not end. There's no part of life that doesn't contain its lessons. If you're alive, that means there are still lessons to be learned.
6.	"There" is no better a place than "here." When your "there"  has become a "here", you will simply obtain another "there"  that will again look better than "here."
7.	Other people are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you  something you love or hate about yourself.
8.	What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools  and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you.  The choice is yours.
9.	Your answers lie within you. The answers to life's questions lie  within you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.
10.	You will forget all this.

"We all have the potential to fall in love a thousand times in our lifetime. It’s easy.

But there are certain people you love who do something else; they define how you classify what love is supposed to feel like. These are the most important people in your life, and you’ll meet maybe four or five of these people over the span of 80 years. But there’s still one more tier to all this; there is always one person you love who becomes that definition. It usually happens retrospectively, but it always happens eventually. This is the person who unknowingly sets the template for what you will always love about other people, even if some of those qualities are self-destructive and unreasonable.

You will remember having conversations with this person that never actually happened. You will recall sexual trysts with this person that never technically occurred. This is because the individual who embodies your personal definition of love does not really exist. The person is real, and the feelings are real—but you create the context. And the context is everything.

The person who defines your understanding of love is not inherently different than anyone else, and they’re often just the person you happen to meet the first time you really, really want to love someone. But that person still wins. They win, and you lose. Because for the rest of your life, they will control how you feel about everyone else."

I know you can believe in yourself.

This makes me happy.
