don't wait for someday

Love life
Live your life out loud
Now



You can go
You can start all over again
You can try to find a way to make another day go by
You can hide
Hold all your feelings inside
You can try to carry on when all you wanna do is cry

And maybe someday we’ll figure all this out
Try to put an end to all our doubt
Try to find a way to make things better now that
Maybe someday we’ll live our lives out loud
We’ll be better off somehow, someday

Now we wait
And try to find another mistake
If you throw it all away then maybe you can change your mind
You can run
And when everything is over and done
You can shine a little light on everything around you
Man it’s good to be someone

And maybe someday we’ll figure all this out
Try to put an end to all our doubt
Try to find a way to make things better now that
Maybe someday we’ll live our lives out loud
We’ll be better off somehow, someday

I don’t wanna wait
I just wanna know
I just wanna hear you tell me so
Give it to me straight
Tell it to me slow

‘Cuz maybe someday we’ll figure all this out
We’ll put an end to all our doubt
Try to find a way to just to feel better now
Maybe someday we’ll live our lives out loud
We’ll be better off somehow, someday

‘Cuz sometimes we don’t really notice
Just how good it can get
So maybe we should start all over
Start all over, again

‘Cuz sometimes we don’t really notice
Just how good it can get
So maybe we should start all over
Start all over, again

may your day be filled with blessings

"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them."
♥ ~John Fitzgerald Kennedy

i wonder why ~

"Most people would rather be certain they're miserable, than risk being happy."

~Robert Anthony

I wonder why people embrace a life of being miserable ~

Instead of risking a life filled with happiness, hope and healing. 
A life filled with love.

Live your life 

I'll say it again

Live *your* life

Forget the past

Move away from remembering old hurts

Cast them off as far as the east is from the west

Move towards new adventures

New experiences

New friends

New loves

Heal your core wounds by embracing healthy thoughts

Healthy habits

Healthy activities

Healthy people

Love yourself enough to choose what's best for you

What's best for your physical and mental health

What's best for your mind

What's best for your soul

What your core knows is right for you

Never put your happiness in the hands of another

You will always be unhappy if you do

Other people can't make you happy

Other people will always fail you

It is the nature of our being human

Our abilities fall short of being able to make another happy

It can't be done

Everyone has to choose for themselves

Know your own truth

What you believe

Not what others tell you to believe 

Not what others say you should believe

Not what others guilt you into believing

Know your own truth by seeking it yourself

Understand your own needs

Look deep into the depths of who you are at your core

Acknowledge and embrace all of *you*

Always know that only *you* can meet your own needs

Only you will be able to make *you* happy

There is no Cinderella 

Or Prince Charming 

Or Mighty Mouse

There is no person that will come to save your day

Or your life

Or your soul

Or your existence

You are it 

If you understand nothing else about your life

Understand that *YOU* are it

It's all on you 

Your happiness

Don't say, "If only he/she would do/be/say...."

No no no

It's not about them when it comes to you

And it's not about you when it comes to them

Understand that one concept and you will free yourself

Free yourself to a world of possibilities

To make your life what you want it to be

To make yourself happy

Listen up

Everyone in your life is simply a bonus

A gift

A wonderful present

The cherry on top of an already wonderfully delicious hot fudge sunday

If you don't get the cherry right away don't worry

Sometimes, to appreciate what we don't have we have to go without

For a day or a season 

For awhile

It will come to you when you are ready for it

Out of nowhere almost

When you are finally in that place where you can say,

"I am truly happy as I am"

"With what I have"

"With my life as it is"

Not that looking forward to anything is bad

But understand that you must stand in the present and accept it

Embrace it

Love it

Not necessarily your situation

But the most important thing inside of you

You must love the moment in time that you are given to breathe

Each breath is a gift we can never get back

Love that moment and you will find your happiness

You will be content

You will be happy

And everything will feel like a bonus to you 

With every breath you take

Every person you meet

Every place you go

Every meeting you have

Everything you do

Every thing

Every wonderful experience you are alive to feel

You will finally understand

They are all life's gifts

For you

Give love 

Simply to love

Don't give out of expectation

Or want

Or desire

Or need for something in return

Give love 

Simply to love

Because 

We are built to love

We are built to give

We are built in our humanness to embrace others

To love others

They will feel

Cherished

Wanted 

Desired

Cared for

And in your giving you will receive the best gift of all

Your own needs will be fulfilled

Your own wants will be met

Your own desires will be realized

By giving of yourself

Know that what you give will come back to you 

Ten fold and more

Always and forever

Until the end of your time

And then it will live on

In the ones *you* loved simply

Simply because 

You loved them

Unconditionally

With an open heart

From the depths of your soul

To the ends of your earth

For the rest of their life

Funny thing happens when you choose to do what's best for you by giving love simply to love ~

You will find the happiness that you think has alluded you...

For the rest of your life.

Trust me.

You will find what you need by giving it to others...

Stop searching.  You're already there.  Simply love.

Love simply.

beautiful one (you know who you are)... just believe

When the world says you can’t

It’ll tell you that you can!

Everybody falls sometimes
Gotta find the strength to rise
From the ashes and make a new beginning
Anyone can feel the ache
You think it’s more than you can take
But you are stronger, stronger than you know
Don’t you give up now
The sun will soon be shining
You gotta face the clouds
To find the silver lining

I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn’t ever end
Even when the sky is falling
And I’ve seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That’s what faith can do

It doesn’t matter what you’ve heard
Impossible is not a word
It’s just a reason for someone not to try
Everybody’s scared to death
When they decide to take that step
Out on the water
It’ll be alright
Life is so much more
Than what your eyes are seeing
You will find your way
If you keep believing

I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn’t ever end
Even when the sky is falling
And I’ve seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That’s what faith can do

Overcome the odds
You don't have a chance
(That’s what faith can do)
When the world says you can’t
It’ll tell you that you can!

I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn’t ever end
Even when the sky is falling
And I’ve seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That’s what faith can do
That's what faith can do!
Even if you fall sometimes
You will have the strength to rise
~Kutless

"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, 
the evidence of things not seen." 

~Hebrews 11:1

love simply gives...

“Intense love does not measure; it just gives."
~Mother Teresa

always a dreamer... loving this life

“Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today.”
~James Dean

~ you are beautiful just as you are ~

There could never be, a more beautiful you...

Little girl fourteen flipping through a magazine
Says she wants to look that way
But her hair isn’t straight her body isn’t fake
And she’s always felt overweight

Well little girl fourteen I wish that you could see
That beauty is within your heart
And you were made with such care your skin your body and your hair
Are perfect just the way they are

There could never be a more beautiful you
dont buy the lies disguises and hoops they make you jump through
You were made to fill a purpose that only you could do
So there could never be a more beautiful you

Little girl twenty-one the things that you’ve already done
Anything to get ahead
And you say you’ve got a man but he’s got another plan
Only wants what you will do instead

Well little girl twenty-one you never thought that this would come
You starve yourself to play the part
But I can promise you there’s a man whose love is true
And he’ll treat you like the jewel you are

There could never be a more beautiful you
dont buy the lies disguises and hoops they make you jump through
You were made to fill a purpose that only you could do
So there could never be a more beautiful you

So turn around you’re not too far
To back away be who you are
To change your path go another way
It’s not too late you can be saved
If you feel depressed with past regrets
The shameful nights hope to forget
Can disappear they can all be washed away
By the one who’s strong can right your wrongs
Can rid your fears dry all your tears
And change the way you look at this big world
He will take your dark distorted view
And with His light He will show you truth
And again you’ll see through the eyes of a little girl

There could never be a more beautiful you
dont buy the lies disguises and hoops they make you jump through
You were made to fill a purpose that only you could do
So there could never be a more beautiful you
There could never be, a more beautiful you.

live, laugh, love and give the best you've got

"The man is a success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much; who has gained the respect of intelligent men and the love of children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; who leaves the world better than he found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul; who never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty or failed to express it; who looked for the best in others and gave the best he had."
~Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson
