Today, Yesterday, Tomorrow

To awaken each morning with a smile brightening my face;
To greet the day with reverence for the opportunities it contains;
To approach my work with a clean mind;
To hold ever before me, even in the doing of little things,
the ultimate purpose toward which I am working;
To meet men and women with laughter on my lips and love in my heart;
To be gentle, kind and courteous through all the hours;
To approach the night with weariness that ever woos sleep
and the joy that comes form work well done– this is how I desire to waste wisely my days.

No man or woman is an island. To exist just for yourself is meaningless. You can achieve the most satisfaction when you feel related to some greater purpose in life, something greater than yourself -Denis Waitley

Love to me is a risk, when you put yourself out there, give out everything and open up everything, you are risking it being broken, or risking it being replaced with hurt. but thats the risk people in love must be willing to take. Love to me is not just saying 'i love you' but keeping everything to yourself, its about sharing your burden, knowing that both of you are in this together. Love is about that risk, and if you're too afraid of that risk, too afraid of getting hurt, you'll never find love.
