In three words I can sum up everything I have learned about life: it goes on.

Concentrate the mind on the present moment.

Hate will consume you.

Life is a song – sing it.

A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.

Use everything God gives you.

Never be bullied into silence.

Believe that life is worth living.

The world owes you nothing.

Each day is too short.

All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.

Change is the law of life.

Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.

Life is a crazy ride and nothing is guaranteed.

Open your eyes, look within.

Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans.

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams.

A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life.

Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes.

My formula for living is quite simple.

Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.

Any idiot can face a crisis – it is day to day living that wears you out.

The most important thing is to enjoy your life – to be happy – it is all that matters.

We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us.

Change your life today.

Only the weak of mind seek to quell the beliefs and opinions of others.

How rare and beautiful it is to even exist

If I make The Pearly Gates, I’ll do my best to make a drawing.

Strength grows on a foundation of failure.

Never stop learning. The mind feeds on unfiltered knowledge.

Artificial Intelligence is just the latest Silicon Valley Scam du Jour.

Living in the moment, taking consistent deliberate action, this is where dreams come true.

Every day is a winding road. Enjoy the ride.

We’re all the same. We simply want to be understood.

Time, good health, and love are the most precious commodities in life.

The world is evolving. Evolve with it, or get left behind.

After showering our families with love we still owe them everything.

We are all challenged. It’s how we face those challenges that defines us.

Believe in the resolute urgency of now.

Social Media has created a false reality. And we all bought into it.

The world does not conspire against us.

One of our greatest desires is to be understood, whereas it should be to understand.

Where
there
is love
there is life.

The only constant in our world is change.

Youth is relative. Think young. Stay young.

Searching for the meaning of life is futile. Live your life and the meaning will be revealed.

The greatest minds in history have tried to solve the riddle of life and failed. You may as well try to hold the sun in your hand.

One small happiness hack is to disengage from disempowering people.

When you see this meme, turn off that life-sucking device of yours and live life.

Life will pass you by if you let it. Worse yet, that device you have in your hand will ruin your life if you let it.

Happiness Hack #1: Ditch social media. Forever.

Never compromise your beliefs to appease an aggressor.

Everyone needs an exit strategy – from social media.

Learning is food for the brain.

And when we learn enough, we bend the impossible into the possible.

We either control our inner voice, or it controls us.

The Internet is dead.
Get a dog.

No email. No cell phone. No Internet. Now that’s living.

The most important lesson in life is learning to relax.

So one day you wake up and you have kids. And you finally know what life is all about.

Love is the most powerful force in life.

Enrich our time, or waste our time; it’s our choice.

The Internet is a battleground. Its objective is to control your mind – and ultimately your actions.

Life goes up. Life goes down. Ergo, life is an elevator.

Good health is foundational to a good life. It really is that simple.

Life is much shorter than I imagined it to be.

In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.

Social media killed objectivity.

After the advent of social media, young girls all around the world now measure their self worth by follower counts. They themselves have become metrics at the expense of their own identities.

Good health is foundational to a good life. It really is that simple.

How much damage is social media inflicting on our youth?

As adults, we are all teachers.

The world has changed. Change with it, or get left behind.

Today, and every day, we say a prayer and send positive thoughts into the universe for those persons who choose to disregard advice meant to help and protect themselves and others.

There are three truths in life; 1) We are born, 2) We die, 3) We own everything in between.

Life will whack you on the head. Whack it back.

To be truly at peace is perhaps the most elusive treasure of all.

The upside to the world going insane is at least I’ve got some company now.

In 2020, the name of the game became maintain our sanity. So far I'm losing.

So the name of the game now is to preserve your sanity. Step one, buy some alcohol. Step two, drink the alcohol. Sanity restored.

I always thought highly intelligent aliens would descend on the earth one day and annihilate us all with their super duper laser beam weapons. Turns out COVID beat them to it.

Life.

Living.

Be the best version of yourself you can be.

Be the best version of yourself your spouse would want you to be.

Be the pilot of your own life. Plan for the future by defining manageable steps and actions that will ultimately lead to your destination.

Every day is an opportunity to build on the previous day – even if the previous day was a big fat zero…

Your heart will succeed while your mind argues to fail.

Life is nothing more than code projecting onto the screen we call reality. Recode your life to create the reality you desire.

Naysayers are the people in your life who want you to fail. Find out who they are and get rid of them.

Surround yourself with positive supportive people and be the same toward them. It will work wonders.

If you fail, fail honorably. If you succeed, do not forget the people who supported you along the way.

Own everything that happens in your life. It is the only way to take total control of your future.

If you want the woman of your dreams, be the man of hers, or vice versa…

The only constant in life is change. Everything is temporary. No two moments are the same. Every minute of every day is an opportunity to change course, and change your life.

If you find yourself down you have two choices. One, stay there. Two, lift yourself up. If you are religious, read scripture. If you are spiritual, seek out uplifting words, texts, friends, or experience. Whatever you do, do something.

In some way, we are all emotionally stunted by our past. The first step toward finding true inner peace is recognizing this fact and understanding that our past does not define who we are or who we can become.

It may sound cliche but somewhere in some remote corner of this mad, mad world, shines a rainbow with a promise, just for you.

Hope, is not a strategy. But without it, we are nothing.

If you are ever feeling down read this meme. You are not alone my friend. My story might be different than yours, but trust me when I say I have been through some shit in life. Have faith in yourself and know that everything is temporary. Just keep throwing punches. Keep kicking. Keep scratching. And one day you will look back and know you won. On that day, you will not feel down. You will feel awesome.

If you ever find true love hold onto it with all your strength. It is truly the most powerful gift the universe has to give.

Find a corner of the world where you can spend the rest of your life then do anything you can to make it happen.

Life is a road full of twists and turns. Some lead to peril. Some lead into dark tunnels. Whereas other roads lead toward the rising sun and the promise of new day.

Life can change in the blink of an eye. One moment bliss, the next, pain. How we react is what matters.

Everyone needs a purpose in life. Find yours and be the best damn version of it you can be.

Time is the ultimate scorekeeper. How many moments have we wasted? How many will we remember? In the end, time is the only thing we want more of.

Time will run you down until you are old and tired and cannot do anything about it.

Time stands still for no one. Life will blow by you faster than a howling trade wind. Savor every moment. Create deep lasting memories. Reach out and touch the world as you will be gone from it in the seeming blink of an eye.

In the end, the only thing we want more of, is time.

Life will blow past you faster than a howling trade wind. Savor every moment. Create lasting memories. Reach out and touch the world as you will leave it in the seeming blink of an eye.

In the end, the only thing we want more of, is time.

In the end the only thing we want more of is time.

Life will blow past you faster than a howling trade wind. Savor every moment. Create lasting memories. Reach out and touch the world as you will leave it in the seeming blink of an eye.

Jean at 58. No filters.

Commitment.

In the midst of chaos can always be found a way out. Remember that everything is temporary and that the fiercest battles are always fought within the mind.

Look up.

Our dreams are eclipsed only by ego. Humility, on the other hand, will carry us all the way to the promised land.

When the world around you is at its very worst take every action to be your very best.

We all possess the right to protect ourselves, our loved ones, and our property against those who would do us harm.

Look up. You never know when a bird is about to drop a deuce on your head.

Do not tell people about your plans. Show them the results.

You’re hopes and dreams will always lose out to someone with goals.

Hopes and dreams will remain just that until they become goals and actions.

If you can't love your neighbor, who can you love?

If you think you've got problems, try explaining to your child why they can't attend school with their friends because a careless lab halfway around the world triggered a global pandemic.

Politics has little to do with improving society, but rather more to do with who to pay to get what you want.

If America were really paying attention they'd understand how all newly created money comes with a burden of debt designed solely to enrich those closest it's creation.

Every day you wake up think of a reason to be hopeful you will achieve your goals. Then take at least one action to make it happen. You're welcome.

It's not over until you're underground.

Time is the ultimate prize. Don't squander it.

Every day is filled with new choices. Your decisions define you.
