Good Advice for a Good Life

I’m a quote collector. Have I mentioned that before? The best thing about being a quote collector is when others send you a great quote that they know you will like. This one is courtesy of my daughter. And I really like it.

I wish I knew who actually created it so I could give them credit! Thank you whoever you are! Everything in this quote is so incredibly true. Right now I’m in the “and you’ll cry because time is flying by” stage.

Read, enjoy, and maybe even consider it words to live by.

“As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let us down, probably will. You'll have your heart broken and you'll break others' hearts. You'll fight with your best friend or maybe even fall in love with them, and you'll cry because time is flying by. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, and love like you've never been hurt. Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances. You just have to live life to the fullest, tell someone what they mean to you and tell someone off. Speak out, dance in the pouring rain, hold someone's hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, stay up late, be a flirt, and smile until your face hurts. Don't be afraid to take chances or fall in love and most of all, live in the moment because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back.”

Enough said.

Keep on smiling!
