… all odds, human kind is basically quite optimistic.
We call hurt and mistakes “experience”, and aging “wisdom”.
Having…
… a purpose is pretty like having a business plan. But much funnier.
Those…
… who fear others’ opinion, are the ones that haven’t learned yet to value their own.
The…
… hardest thing of letting go is avoiding the come back.

Happiness…
… is that thing we all struggle to have, and yet struggle to define.
Trying…
… to solve a problem ignoring it, is like trying to get to the shore without swimming.
Reading…
… a book is like traveling.
Sometimes in time. Sometimes in space.
Most often inside.
Love…
Kills and resuscitates.
But rarely through the same person.
When it’s the case we generally call them “the One”.
There…
… is always a good reason to take action or a pretext not to.
Life…
… is awful.
… And then you got hit by a ten tons truck, and you realise that your life was just everything you ever needed.
Wisdom…
… is an acquired taste of youth enthusiasm.
The…
… hardest battle is the one you struggle with yourself.
If…
… you want to get rid of someone, ask them to do something for you.

Success…
… is that thing that all want to achieve, few admit, and even fewer work for.
Through…
… pain we learn.
Through happiness we achieve.
What…
… we call bad luck is most of the time just the result of a bad job.
The…
… point of searching is not finding answers, but finding the next question.
We…
… all have a heart.
Some ones just forgot where theirs is.
A man …
… who loves you will fight against wolves to protect you. Not throw you to them to save himself.
What…
… mean people say about you, doesn’t define you.
It defines them.
The…
… problem with smashing someone’s life, is letting others deal with the debris.
Privilege…
… is what we criticise about others, because we can’t have it for ourselves.
Faith…
… is about hope.
Belief is about certitude.
Choose wisely where to put them on.
The…
… main difference between pessimism, optimism and happiness, is probably brevity.
Pessimism says: “I will never have what I want”.
Optimism says: ” I will have what I want.”
Happiness says: ” I have what I want “.
Dealing…
… with negative people is like working after hours.
It drains your energies, and generally leaves you with little or no reward.
Life…
… is not about winning or losing.
Those who think so are doomed to unhappiness, as they will always look for a battle to win, and sooner or later will find someone who plays better than them.
If …
… someone loves you, you will never find yourself wondering about their feelings or faithfulness.
Even …
… after the darkest night always raise the sun.
Dreamers…
… are realistic visionaries.
Everything that is their life now, was in their dreams before.
When…
… you tolerate someone’s disrespect, you are not giving them a second chance.
You are teaching them how to treat you.
Some…
… people suffer from a very peculiar kind of amnesia.
Do a thousand things for them, and they forget.
Forget just one thing, and they will remember that till the end of time.
Nothing…
… grows by itself.
Even bad seeds need water.
You…
… have the biggest power of all.
The power of choice.
A journey …
… is in the going, not the destination.
Those…
… who don’t believe that efforts pay off are generally the same ones who are not willing to do any.
Fairness…
… is taking your responsibilities, not others’ .
Don’t…
… complain about a problem. Fix it.
If you can’t fix it, leave it.
Patience…
… only means tolerating.
Nobody ever said it lasts indefinitely.
Be…
… open, be vulnerable, take risks.
There’s no other way of being human and alive.
Strict…
… women are boring, but easy ones are even more.
Sometimes…
… you realise what you want only after you have it.
The biggest …
… storms are the ones that leave the cleanest air.
The most…
… important people in your life are not the ones who praise you, but the ones who make you improve.
Love…
… is offered.
Respect is earned.
Dream…
… your life, and then work on your dream to become your life.
(This in response to the challenge proposed by:
Scars…
… don’t hurt, but remind you of the bleeding.
The law…
… of three: live, learn, love.
Love your life, learn how to improve it, enjoy the going.
Never…
… try to hard rescuing someone who doesn’t want to be rescued.
At best, either you punch him to avoid sinking with him, or he punches you to let him sink.
In both cases someone ends up with a bruise.
Whether…
… it’s its lack or its abundance, our life is always affected by love.
There’re…
… two sides in each person we meet.
Seeing the good or the negative one only depends on what we look at.
It’s fun…
… to see that people who treat you like an option, generally expect to be your priority.
Some people…
… are always there for you.
Some people are there for anybody except you.
If you…
… are treating the same way different people, you are not being fair, you are being blind to their different needs.
The only…
… thing you can’t buy is time.
Everything else is more or less negotiable.
It’s not …
true that it’s never too late to change.
At some point, life just cuts you off.
Unconditional love…
… is great.
Just be sure you also receive it.
Living…
… without a purpose is just surviving.
When…
… you ask for the truth, you have to be strong to bear it.
At sometimes…
… we prefer to be told a lie, as we are already agonising because of the truth.
People…
… who lie to others, are not honest to themselves.
Honesty…
… is the most attractive quality.
It builds trust. Trust builds confidence. Confidence ignites passion.
The essence…
… is always dual.
Be…
… kind, but don’t let anyone walk all over you.
Be generous, but don’t give everything you have to someone who is not willing to reciprocate.
Be innocent, but don’t be naive.
Truth is…
… One , but we all rarely agree about its versions.
It’s not…
… your job to make happy someone who decided not to be.
They always say…
… “treat others the way You want to be treated.”
I’d rather “treat others the way They want to be treated. “
Some people…
… only learn from their mistakes how to better hide them.
Only people…
… who don’t like themselves crave other people validation.
Be loyal…
… even if it does not always pay off, as there is nothing more rewarding than looking at your soul and being happy of what you are seeing.
If you don’t…
… show your true Self, you will never know if people love You or your mask.
Failing …
… is not a problem.
The problem is repeating the same mistakes.
People…
…. either surprise you or deceive you.
If you want…
… to achieve something, focus on your goal, not on the obstacles.
Love is…
… made of respect, honesty and care.
If one of these ingredients is missing, you will always have a flat cake.
A real man…
… will always protect the woman he loves, no matter what.
If he doesn’t, either he’s not a real man, or he doesn’t love you.
In both cases, the best you can do is letting him go.
Be yourself…
… is not the point.
Be the best self you can be, is.
Most of the…
… time, people who are mean to you, are the same people who are not worth your attention.
If you want…
… a better life, raise your standards.
Some …
… people only respect who treats them bad.
Don’t waste your time showing them their error.
It’s like showing the sea to a blind person.
If someone…
… mistreats you, don’t be sad about yourself.
Be sad about them.
Life is not…
… a choice.
Death is not a choice.
Everything in between, is.
Stability is not…
… about being fixed.
It’s about coherence in changing.
The truth is…
… no mystery.
It’s crystal clear, and it’s right in front of you.
All you need to see it, is keeping your eyes open.
There is no…
… death in Universe.
Just an eternal change.
We are made of…
… energy.
Energy never dies. It just changes its form.
So do we.
Sometimes…
… being clear about what you don’t want is more important than being clear about what you want.
Everyone…
… wants to be valued.
Everyone wants to be respected.
Everyone wants to be loved.
Everyone wants to be happy.
Why we keep saying we are all different?
When people…
… say they don’t have a choice, what they are actually saying is they don’t have one that is convenient for you.
If you want …
… to have new experiences, you can’t keep following the same pattern.
If you want to know…
… about someone’s loyalty, look at what they do when they promise you something.
A loyal person will not need any reminder.
Selfish people…
… will usually get very upset when you stop giving them what they took for granted.
Don’t be…
… scared of showing your fragility.
Those who care about you, will take care of it.
Those who don’t, will take advantage of it. But you will know who you don’t need in your life.
Life is…
… constantly changing.
You either stay still, and see it going by, or you change with it.
A coward…
… is someone who is scared of facing his own demons.
If someone does you harm…
… don’t seek revenge.
Most of the time, when you look at their life, you’ll see they are their worst punishment.
