There comes a time when you have to stop crossing oceans for people who wouldn’t even jump puddles for you.

montres1 · 13 August 2013, 04:12 PM

Until you're broken, you don't know what you're made of. It gives you the ability to build yourself all over again, but stronger than ever.

My favourite quote,

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
Mark Twain

“It is no exaggeration to say that every human being is hypnotized to some extent either by ideas he has uncritically accepted from others or ideas he has repeated to himself or convinced himself are true. These negative ideas have exactly the same effect upon our behavior as the negative ideas implanted into the mind of a hypnotized subject by a professional hypnotist.”
Maxwell Maltz, Psycho-Cybernetics

East Bay Rider · 18 August 2013, 10:29 PM

Hope is just delayed disappointment.
