Be Thankful...

Be thankful for the difficult times. During those times you grow.
Be thankful for your limitations. Because they give you opportunities for improvement.
Be thankful for each new challenge. Because it will build your strength and character.
Be thankful for your mistakes. They will teach you valuable lessons.

“Life is like the wind that blows you away to many places. Even if sometimes, you don't want to go, the breeze just gets too strong until no other option is left but to give in and let it take you away."

THE GREATEST ADVICE

Posted by MYKHYS at 11:34 PM 0 comments
“The Purpose Driven Life” by Rick Warren

Don't date because you are desperate.
Don't marry because you are miserable.
Don't have kids because you think your genes are superior.
Don't philander because you think you are irresistible.

Don't associate with people you can't trust.
Don't cheat. Don't lie. Don't pretend.
Don't dictate because you are smarter.
Don't demand because you are stronger.

Don't sleep around because you think you are old enough & know better.
Don't hurt your kids because loving them is harder.
Don't sell yourself, your family, or your ideals.
Don't stagnate!
Don't regress.
Don't live in the past. Time can't bring anything
or anyone back.

Don't put your life on hold for possibly Mr. Right.
Don't throw your life away on absolutely Mr. Wrong because your biological clock is ticking.

Learn a new skill.
Find a new friend.
Start a new career.
Sometimes, there is no race to be won,
only a price to be paid
for some of life's more hasty decisions.

To terminate your loneliness, reach out to the homeless.
To feed your nurturing instincts, care for the needy.
To fulfill your parenting fantasies, get a puppy.
Don't bring another life into this world
for the wrong reasons.

To make yourself happy,
pursue your passions
& be the best of what you can be.
Simplify your life.
Take away the clutter.
Get rid of destructive elements:
abusive friends, nasty habits and dangerous liaisons.
Don't abandon your responsibilities
but don't overdose on duty.

Don't live life recklessly without thought and feeling
for your family.
Be true to yourself.
Don't commit when you are not ready.
Don't keep others waiting needlessly.

Go on that trip. Don't postpone it.
Say those words. Don't let the moment pass.
Do what you have to, even at society's scorn.

Write poetry.
Love Deeply.
Walk barefoot.
Dance with wild abandon.
Cry at the movies.

Take care of yourself.
Don't wait for someone to take care of you.
You light up your life.
You drive yourself to your destination.
No one completes you - except YOU.

It isn't true that life does not get easier with age.
It only gets more challenging.
Don't be afraid.

Don't lose your capacity to love.
Pursue your passions.
Live your dreams.
Don't lose faith in God.
Don't grow old. Just grow YOU!

God is good all the time!

Whenever you start - give it your best. The opportunities are there to be anything you want to be. But wanting to be someone isn't enough; dreaming about it isn't enough; thinking about it isn't enough. You've got to study for it, work for it, fight for it with all your heart and soul, because nobody is going to hand it to you.
- Gen. Colin Powell

Mistakes are sometimes the best memories.

You're born, you die, and in between you make a lot of mistakes.

Every new day is another chance to change your life.

The times in life, that seems to be the worst, always turn out for the best!

Good judgment comes from bad experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

You cannot always wait for the perfect time, sometimes you must dare to jump.

Never regret something that once made you smile.

Yes, the past can hurt but the way I see it you can either run from it or learn from it.

You shouldn't regret anything that you say, because it was what you were feeling at the moment.

What I like about experience is that it is such an honest thing.

If I could take it all back I wouldn't. Don't live in regret.

Take chances. Tell the truth. Date someone totally wrong for you. Say no. Spend all your cash! Fall in love. Get to know someone random. Be random. Say I love you. Sing out loud. Laugh at a stupid joke. Cry. Get revenge. Apologize. Tell someone how much they mean to you. Tell the asshole what you feel. Let someone know what theyre missing. Laugh til your stomach hurts. LIVE LIFE!

Life is all about risks and it requires you to jump. Don't be a person who has to look back and wonder what they would have or could have had. No one waits forever.

So I made a big mistake try to see it once my way.

Can you leave it all behind? Cause you cant go back.

Sometimes the littlest thing in life changes something forever and there will be times when you wish you can go back to how things used to be but you just can't because things have changed so much.

All that stupid fun, all the shit weve done. Where'd the good times go?

Assert your right to make a few mistakes. If people can't accept your imperfections, thats their fault.

When loving someone, never regret what you do, only regret what you don't do.

Then you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.

You only live once, so do everything twice.

Never regret anything, because at one point you wanted it.

Every wrong decision is in fact a correct decision but taken at a wrong time so my friends don't regret... don't stop... keep walking ahead.

If I could go back in time and fix all the mistakes I made, I wouldn't because it has made me who I am today.

Just because someone messes up once doesn't mean that within time they can't find a way to change for the better.

If you never take chances in life youll miss out on the best things.

I have learned more from my mistakes than from my successes.

I'm a firm believer that sometimes its right to do the wrong thing.

Never regret anything because at some point you wanted it.

There are no mistakes in life, only lessons.

The greatest risk in life is not taking one.

Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate you friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is no end.

Chances are so hard to come by and the second one is impossible to find.

You gotta take some chances, you gotta risk losing it all, you gotta close your eyes and leap because it might be worth the fall.

As we grow older, it's not the things we did that we often regret, but the things we didn't do. That's why God created tomorrows for us makes things up.

Never say sorry for something you meant to do.

Just because someone tells you that you can't do something doesn't mean you have to listen.

It isn't the problem along the way that make us or break us. It's how we learn to stand and face them that makes the difference.

Don't fear failure so much that you refuse to try new things. The saddest summary of a life contains three descriptions: could have, might have, and should have.

Don't be afraid to go after what you want to do, and what you want to be. But don't be afraid to be willing to pay the price.

The greatest joy in life always came from doing what others said that you can't do.

I never regretted telling you I liked you, I only regretted never hearing what you really thought of me.

Sometimes you gotta stop and remember that your not gonna live forever. Be young, thing smart, stay true and just follow your heart.

Half of life is fucking up - the other half is dealing with it.

Somewhere along the course of life, you learn about yourself and realize there should never be regrets, only a lifelong appreciation of the choices you've made.

Out best decisions, the ones that we never regret, come from listening to ourselves.

All in all, I have no regrets. The sun still shines, the sun still sets. The heart forgives, the heart forgets. One more kiss, even though it's come to this. I'll close my eyes and make a wish... hoping you'll remember.

Cling to your imperfections, they are what make you unique.

You ask me about regret? Let me tell you a few things about regret, my darling. There is no end to it. You cannot find the beginning of the chain that brought us from there to here. Should you regret the whole chain, and the air in between, or each link separately, as if you could uncouple them? Do you regret the beginning which ended so badly, or just the ending itself? --- White Oleander

I don't fear your judgment 'cause I already know who I am.

Someone asked me, the other day, that if I could change five things about my life, what would I change? My answer: nothing this is who I am, who I'm meant to be. I love being me; even when I'm feeling crappy and I hate myself I wouldn't change a thing.---punkyfairydude

Well you do what you do and you pay for your sins, and there's no such thing as what might have been, that's a waste of time, it'll drive you out of your mind.--- Tim McGraw

Who am I? I am who I say I am and tomorrow someone else entirely. --- White Oleander

I was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together again and tell myself that the mending whole was good as new. What is broken is broken - and I'd rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken places as long as I lived.

Without pain, there would be no suffering, without suffering we would never learn from our mistakes. To make it right, pain and suffering is the key to all windows, without it, there is no way of life.---Angelina Jolie

I'm not going to apologize for it, cause the truth is I'd do it again.

You have to take the good with the bad, smile with the sad, love what you got, and remember what you had. Always forgive, but never forget, learn from your mistakes, but never regret.

Shake off the "why's" and the "what if's" and rid yourself of confusion. Whatever was - is in the past. Whatever is? That’s what's important. The past is a brief reflection, and the future is yet to be realized.

It's hard to accept, but you can't change the past. You can't go back and manipulate things to the way you wanted them to happen. Because life'd be meaningless and boring and just not worth living. But you can change the future and that's a beautiful thing about life. Yes, you will make mistakes. And yes, you will have bad days - but as long as you let the past go, you'll have such a gorgeous and bright future ahead of you. Knowing that things were meant to happen. Knowing that each day you will learn something so that you keep growing to be a better person. Life is like a rope, twined in all its complexities and yet weaved into one marvelous stream that you have the chance you use something amazing from. So grab hold of it.

Often when you think about something for a long period of time, say jumping out of an airplane, you never end up doing it. Its the spontaneity that makes it worth while.

I am who I am today because of the choices I made yesterday.

Enjoy yourself. These are the good old days you're going to miss in the years ahead.

And I won't look back. And I won't regret. Though hurts like hell. Someday I will forget.

REMEMBER: WHATEVER HAPPENS, HAPPENS FOR A REASON.


I only follow my voice inside, if it guides me wrong and I do not win I'll learn from my mistakes and try 2 achieve again ~Tupac

Disobedience, in the eyes of any one who has read history, is man’s original virtue. It is through disobedience that progress has been made, through disobedience and through rebellion.
- Oscar Wilde

Accept everything about yourself -- I mean everything, You are you and that is the beginning and the end -- no apologies, no regrets.

Don't Give Up you may be tempted to... but dont give up; when you've misplaced your hopeful dreams, Dare to believe again in the impossible; Catch a ray of sunshine,and hold on tightly; The one who holds your hand... will never let you go.

Believe you can, and you can. Belief is one of the most powerful of all problem dissolvers. When you believe that a difficulty can be overcome, you are more than half way to victory over it already - Norman Vincent Peale

At times I wish I could change the past...but sometimes the past changes you.

We talk like we know what's going on. But we don't. We don't know anything. We're young and we're gonna screw-up a lot. We're gona keep changing our minds and even sometimes our hearts. And through all that, the only thing we can truly offer eachother is... forgiveness.

Take chances... alot of them. Because honestly, no matter where you end up- and with who, it always ends up just the way it should be. Your mistakes make you who you are... you learn and grow with each choice you make. Everything is worth it. say how you feel- always . Be you, and be okay with it. It doesn't matter what any other person thinks.

Never regret anything that has happened in your life, it cannot be changed, undone or forgotten so take it as a lesson learned and move on

If you spend your life regretting things in the past, before you know it... you will have wasted your life on regret

I never regret anything that has happened to me in my life, wether it is making a bad choice, deciding to do something I shouldnt have, saying the wrong thing or not doing something I should have done... because all of these things have given me the knowledge I have today and helped make me who I am today... and that is one thing I will never regret.

Take chances… alot of them. Because honestly, no matter where you end up - and with who, it always ends up just the way it should be. Your mistakes make you who you are... you learn and grow with each choice you make. Everything is worth it. Say how you feel - always. Be you, and be okay with it.

It's better to cross the line and suffer the consequences than to just stare at that line for the rest of your life.

Concern yourself with not what is right and what is wrong, but with what is important.

The best thing that you can do in life is follow your heart. Take risks. Don't just take the safe and easy choices because your afraid of what might happen. Don't have any regrets and know that everything happens for a reason.

There comes a point when you're more important than your past.

Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.

Mistakes are a part of being human. Appreciate your mistakes for what they are: precious life lessons that can only be learned the hard way. Unless it's a fatal mistake, which, at least, others can learn from.

If I had my life to live over... I'd dare to make more mistakes next time.

This isn't good or bad. It's just the way of things. Nothing stays the same.

Regrets are a waste of time. They're the past crippling you in the present.

When you come to the edge of the light that you know, and you are about to step off into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing that one of two things will happen: there will be something to land on, or you will learn how to fly.

Please don't blame yourself for any of the stupid shit that I choose to do. None of this is your fault. I'm the one who makes these bad decisions so I'm the one who pays the consequences.--- Jupiter-Girl

The trouble with so many of us is that we underestimate the power of simplicity. We have a tendency it seems to over complicate our lives and forget what's important and what's not. We tend to mistake movement for achievement. We tend to focus on activities instead of results. And as the pace of life continues to race along in the outside world, we forget that we have the power to control our lives regardless of what's going on outside.

If you're not willing to risk it all, then you don't want it bad enough.

More people would learn from their mistakes if they weren't too busy denying them.

If I could relive my life, I wouldn't. Cause everything I've done, I've never once regretted doing them. And everything I am is everything I was meant to be. --- Alice1989

Follow your heart, because if you always trust your mind, you'll always act on logic, and logic doesn't always lead to happiness.

There are two things which prevent us from achieving our dreams. The first is the belief that they are impossible and the second is seeing them made possible by the twist of the wheel of fortune when we least expect it. For at that moment, all our fears rise to the surface: the fear of suddenly setting off along a road heading god knows where, the fear of a life full of new challenges, the fear of losing forever all that is familiar.

Sometimes we need to stop analyzing the past - stop planning the future - stop figuring out precisely how we feel - stop deciding with our mind exactly what we want our heart
to feel - sometimes we just have to go with the flow.

I'd rather have a life full of mistakes then a heart full of regret.

Still, I'm convinced that wondering 'what if' is the worst thing there is.

If you obey all the rules, you'll miss all the fun. -Katharine Hepburn

When you make a mistake, don't look back at it long. Take the reason of the thing into your mind and then look forward. Mistakes are lessons of wisdom. The past cannot be changed. The future is yet in your power. --- Hugh White

I'd rather live my life to the fullest than conduct myself in a certain way to gain approval from others; I have no regrets and especially no apologies.

I've been thinking a lot lately about taking chances. And how it's really just about overcoming your fears. Because the truth is, every time you take a big risk in your life, no matter how it ends up, you're always glad you took it. ~ Scrubs

Sometimes we need to stop analyzing the past,
stop planning the future, stop figuring out precisely
how we feel, stop deciding with our minds exactly
what we want our hearts to feel, sometimes we
just have to go with the flow and just enjoy life.

I would rather do something and find out that it was the wrong thing, than never know if it was the right thing.

It's hard to take chances but sometimes it's better if you do.

Life is not about what I've done, what I should've done, what I could've done... it's about what I can do and what I will do

Every passing moment is a chance to turn it all around.

You know, things happen to you, and sometimes you don't realize why it happened until much later. But eventually it all makes sense.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the one's you did. Explore, dream, discover.

Experience is the worst teacher; it gives the test before presenting the lesson...

Things don't happen for no reason, they happen to teach you something.

Don't put a period where God put a comma.

Twenty-Third Psalm

Posted by MYKHYS at 2:49 AM 0 comments


The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures;
he leads me beside still waters;
he restores my soul.
He leads me in right paths for his name's sake.
Even though I walk through the darkest valley,
I fear no evil;
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff--they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord
my whole life long.

- Psalms 23: 1-6

Do not brood over your past mistakes and failures as this will only fill your mind with grief, regret and depression. Do not repeat them in the future

Posted by MYKHYS at 1:48 AM 0 comments
The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.”


The past is behind, learn from it.

The future is ahead, prepare for it.

The present is here, live it.



It's not what's happening to you now or what has happened in your past that determines who you become. Rather, it's your decisions about what to focus on, what things mean to you, and what you're going to do about them that will determine your ultimate destiny.

Anthony Robbins quotes (American advisor to leaders)

a prayer warrior

Posted by MYKHYS at 1:12 AM 0 comments
What is God's gift in you?

A PRAYER WARRIOR

Your destiny is a prayer warrior. Prayer is not a mysterious practice reserved only for clergy and the religiously devout. Prayer is simply communicating with God - listening and talking to him. You can pray from the heart, freely, spontaneously and in your own words. Prayer is your direct line with heaven. Prayer is a communication process that allows you to talk to God! He wants you to communicate with Him, like a person-to-person phone call. Ask God it might be you !


All I know is that when I pray, coincidences happen; and when I don't pray, they don't happen.
