Words I've been living by...

1. See previous blog post

2. "If for a while the harder you try, the harder it gets, take heart. So it has been with the best people who ever lived." - Jeffrey R. Holland

3. Don't ever walk away from your faith.

4.  You never know how strong you really are until being strong is the only choice you have.

5. Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

6. Crying doesn’t indicate that you’re weak.  Since birth, it has always been a sign that you’re alive and full of potential.

7. Sometimes you need to distance yourself to see things clearly.

8. Giving up doesn’t always mean you’re weak, sometimes it means you are strong enough and smart enough to let go.

9. If a person wants to be a part of your life, they will make an obvious effort to do so. Don’t bother reserving a space in your heart for people who do not make an effort to stay.

10. There is nothing to hold you back except you.  And there is only one question to ask yourself: “What would you do if you were not afraid?”  Think about it.

11. The earth is only so thick. the more people that push you into the ground the closer you are to coming out of the other side and seeing sunlight again.

12. Just because you can’t change something doesn’t mean you should let it change you.

13. God isn't mean. He won't 'tease' you by showing you this great guy, then not let things work out without giving you something better later.
