Even the people who drive us crazy can be our teacher

Kindness and Compassion are eternal

Whether one believes in a religion or not, and whether one believes in rebirth or not, there isn't anyone who doesn't appreciate kindness and compassion.

To live in the present moment is the miracle.

 "To live in the present moment is a miracle. The miracle is not to walk on water. The miracle is to walk on the green Earth in the present moment, to appreciate the peace and beauty that are available now."

A smile can bring happiness to anyone even if they don't know you.


1. There are at least two people in this world 

that you would die for... 




2.. At least 15 people in this world 

love you in some way. 




3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you 

is because they want to 

be just like you. 




4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, 

even if they don't 

like you. 




5. Every night, 

SOMEONE thinks about you 

before they go to sleep. 




6. You mean the world to someone. 




7. You are special and unique. 




8. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you. 




9. When you make the biggest mistake ever, 

something good comes from it. 




10. When you think the world 

has turned its back on you 

take another look.
 




11. Always remember the compliments you received.. 

Forget about the rude remarks. 




So........... 

If you are a loving friend, 

send this to everyone, 

including the one that sent it to you. 

If you get it back, then they really do love you. 






Good friends are like stars......... 

You don't always see them, 

But you know they are always there.. 




"Whenever God Closes One Door He Always Opens Another, Even Though 

Sometimes we don't understand what the new door means




I would rather have one rose and a kind word 

from a friend while I'm here 

than a whole truck load when I'm gone. 


Happiness keeps You Sweet, 

Trials keep You Strong, 

Sorrows keep You Human, 

Failures keeps You Humble, 

Success keeps You Glowing, 

But Only 

God keeps You Going
