#QOTD - Choose your way

Another good one and maybe not something we seem to forget:

Sometimes it’s easier to pick the easy road instead of the road that will actually teach us something, make us grow and pay off in the end. Not that I judge, I do it too sometimes :) I think it's become a habit for most people. Choosing the easy way because we may have fear of what will meet us in the unknown. Or maybe we don't feel like we have the time or energy to face it. But sometimes I choose to take the difficult road, and each time I gain something that makes up for all the struggles and heart ships. My brain and heart just seems to forget that every time I face the 'unknown road' :) But I'm getting better, and I hope all of you will face the unknown and choose that road we deep down know but just don't feel like taking :)

Have an awesome weekend :)

#QOTD - Create yourself

Just wanted to share this with you! So true.

Be yourself, be unique, and most of all, you have the power to write your own life story! SO make that story rock, and remember that you can ALWAYS change your ways. I believe in you :)

#QOTD - Dreams

"Do not lose hold of your dreams or aspirations. For if you do, you may still exist but you have ceased to live."

-Henry David Thoreau

I think this is a very beautiful quote, and very true. We often find ourselves lost when things don't turn out the way we wished them to do. Or when a sudden turn of events changes our nicely planned life. So when it says; don’t lose hold of your dreams or aspirations; I see like this:

Dreams can change, take you in a different direction than you planned, but does that make it less of a dream or more? I think more, or I believe :) Because, the road we sometimes end up taking in life sometimes give us more than we wished for, we just don’t see it because we are so busy looking down the road we didn't get to take. So hold on to your dreams, believe in them and they will come true, just maybe not in the way YOU planned them to do. If you give up, well, the quote says it beautifully: if you do, you may still exist but you have ceased to live.

Don't lose yourself in your own attempt to seek happiness and success, believe that you will find it :)

#QOTD - Love conquers all

"It is vital that when educating our children's brains we do not neglect to educate their hearts."

-Dalai Lama

So very true, I read this today, and I couldn't agree more. Today it’s all about getting the best grades, knowing everything about nothing in particular, and being able to use fancy phrases and look like you're IT (whatever that means). When you grow up you need to be something special, something smart, and one who makes a lot of money and knows how to conquer the world. And you're absolutely nothing without a fancy title to brag about (ever wonder why titles today sound more fancy than they are? :) ). But one thing misses, where is our hearts in all this, where is the love? (and yes, I know it sound like that Black Eyed peas song, but it’s true ;) ).

We're so busy being clever and wise, and often forget that it is not the only thing that counts. Being a good person, helping those around you and give unconditionally is one of the greatest gifts to do. Today, more people just don't have the time for it and it is not necessarily the individual persons fault. Our lives are hectic, we have to do everything and achieve it all, and it is natural for people to think of themselves first. Survival comes first (then there is the discussion about what is important to survival, but we'll take that another day ;) ). So it's not the individual person who is at fault, it is rather a responsibility we must take together. We must decide to change our lives. It's not something that happens in a day, but together it is certainly happens faster :)

Of course I know A LOT of people already doing that, but there's still work to be done, and many still don't believe in this way of thinking. I hope one day that changes. Because when we start focusing on the heart and the love it is capable of showing, we truly will discover just how awesome we all can be :)
