"The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: decide what you want." - Ben Stein

We are in this life to learn and grow and we do so my interacting and engaging with people. Bridges don't need to be burned. Feelings get hurt, hearts break, we depends on others to rassure us that life does, in fact, go on. There is plenty of life to live. And plenty of people to help us reach our goals in life. It's funny how we have life goals. We have them because we believe they will ensure our happiness, which, if given the right goals, they will. But we can't let anything get in the way. Life is mostly good. Perspective is important, yes. Support is so very vital if we want to be happy. Even if that means you have to support yourself. Keep your eyes and heart open. Look out for youself prior to anyone else. Once your feet are on the ground, help the people around you. Be a friend to anyone you meet. They're fighting to live, too. And we're all in this together. We were put on this earth for a reason. So look out for each other because we all affect one another, whether you believe it or not.

"Live and let live!" [Please look this quote up on Wikipedia, it's pretty interesting. It was an important phrase in WWI.]

"If you don't like something change it; if you can't change it, change the way you think about it." - Mary Engelbreit

I have a pocketful of reasons as to why I feel the way I do, why I am the way I am, and why I do what I do. Don't you?
