“Real life is a funny thing you know.
In real life saying the right thing, at the right moment is beyond crucial.
So crucial in fact, that most of us start to hesitate, for fear of saying the wrong thing at the wrong time.
But lately what I’ve began to fear more than that, is letting the moment pass with saying anything.
I think you deserved to look back on your life without this chorus of resounding voices saying, I could of but it’s too late now.
So there’s a time for silent, and there a time for waiting your turn. But if you know how you feel, and you so clearly know what you need to say.
You’ll know it.
I don’t think you should wait.
I think you should speak now.” -Taylor Swift : )
Words are SO powerful. They can change lives, hurt people, and even bring hope to some. They are JUST words.. but why are they so powerful?

Quote #16 [be remembered]
"How often do you look back? Really reflect on what you’ve done? The insignificance of it all; pointless arguments, inside jokes, funny hair cuts. But do you ever wonder how you’ll be remembered? Or if what you’ve done or what you’re doing means anything at all? What will your songs sound like when you’re dead and gone? Will tears fall when the last note is sung? And how will your story be told? Will your words leave a bitter taste in their mouths? Or will they even remember you at all?
Compassion. The concept is rather simple, most know what it means to be civil. But there truly is a fine line between sweet and sour. Give too much of yourself away and you’ll be all used up. Not enough and no one will be around to share this with.
So what is it that motivates us to be better, gentler, more refined? I like to think it’s those close to us, close to the heart and soul. Those who carried you to the car after you puked on their shoes, those who took the blame for breaking the window when it was you who casts the stone, those who will be by your side when reality knocks on your door both good and bad.
But more importantly, those whose stories you will share with your kids and grand kids, and their kids, and their grand kids, in hopes to somehow keep this all alive. Chivalry, decency, kindness, compassion, desire, strength. How will you be remembered?”

Quote #12 [GO BIG]
"GO BIG or go home!"It's as simple as that. If you want something, go get it! Don't wait for chances.. just take them. You'll never regret working your butt off for something. If you can look back on your life in any experience and know that you "went big", you'll be so much happier. The pain of regret and disappointment is terrible pain. Don't let yourself live with that.

Quote #11 [never give up]
"A race is not well run unless you've crossed the finish line knowing that you couldn't have kept going for one more step..if you could have, then you didn't give it everything you had." -Jackie Dugall

Quote #10 [excuses]
"If it's important to you, you'll find a way. If it's not, you'll find an excuse..."If you want something, go get it. Don't wait around for it to come to you, or it'll never come. There's a quote that says there are those who want it happen, and those who MAKE it happen. Be the one that makes it happen! Wishing will only get you no where! Using an excuse for not doing something, or not succeeding is weak. Be strong, do hard things, have courage. We're in control of what we do with our life. We better want the consequences of what we want!

Quote #9 [keep moving forward]
“Somewhere along the line you changed. You stopped being you. You let people stick a finger in your face and tell you you're no good; and when things got hard you started looking for something to blame, like a big shadow. Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! Now if you know what you're worth than go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers sayin' you ain't what you wanna be because of him or her or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain't you! You're better than that! But…until you start believing in yourself, you ain't gonna have a life.”
-Rocky Balboa
