teach happens
Some of the most devastating things that happen to you will teach you the most
helping-others people happy-thanksgiving
If you're in a position where you can help other people, there is nothing better in life than helping other people. Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!
hands brain way
The way I see it... If you need both of your hands for whatever it is you're doing, then your brain should probably be in on it too.
Haters are my motivators
keys balance trying
Life is about balance. The good and the bad. The highs and the lows. The thing everyone should realize is that the key to happiness is being happy by yourself and for yourself. Happiness comes from within. You have the power to change your own mindset so that all the negative, horrible thoughts that try to invade your psyche are replaced with happy, positive, wonderful thoughts.
children judgement want
Please raise your children with love and non-judgement. Tell them everyone has the right to love who they want to love. It shouldn’t threaten you or who you are.
heart light broken
When your heart is broken, when your heart has cracks in it, it lets the light in.
inspirational inspiring eye
Sometimes you can't see yourself clearly until you see yourself through the eyes of others.
hilarious gay judging
Do we have to know who's gay and who's straight? Can't we just love everybody and judge them by the car they drive?
sex men asking
Asking who's the 'man' and who's the 'woman' in a same-sex relationship is like asking which chopstick is the fork.
interesting giving challenges
It's our challenges and obstacles that give us layers of depth and make us interesting.
mistake warning body
We all feel like idiots at one time or another. Even if we feel we're cool 98 percent of the time, that 2-percent doofus is poised to take over our bodies without any warning.
phones hands focus
Now we have hands-free phones, so you can focus on the thing you're really supposed to be doing ... chances are, if you need both of your hands to do something, your brain should be in on it too.
crazy thinking laughing
Laugh. Laugh as much as you can. Laugh until you cry. Cry until you laugh. Keep doing it even if people are passing you on the street saying, "I can't tell if that person is laughing or crying, but either way they seem crazy, let's walk faster." Emote. It's okay. It shows you are thinking and feeling.
