1. "When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry, show life you have a hundred reasons to smile."
Because if you really try, you'll find there is no need to cry. There is always something better than what you're seeing up front. Always a brighter side, something to keep you holding on. You just have to try and find that, no matter how hard it is.
2. "With all there is, why settle for just a piece of sky?"
Kind of explains itself, yeah? Why settle for something. Reach for what you want, because there is so much out there.
3. "The time had come to try my wings, even though at any moment I could fall."
It's always right to try something. After all, if you don't try because you're afraid, you'll never learn or move on. Its okay to make mistakes, because trying gets you somewhere.
4. "You were born an original, don't die a copy."
Be yourself. Not somebody else. Do what you want, not what others want.
5. "We all live such fragile lives."
It doesn't matter how strong we are.. How rich or famous. We are all the same, deep down. We're human. We can be hurt emotionally and physically. We are fragile, in all our own ways, to what can break us down. That's why we should live to the fullest, and not believe we are better than anyone else. Because that's a load of crap.
6. "Forget regret, or life is yours to miss."
If you dwell on regretting something you didn't do.. You can't move on and enjoy yourself.
7. "No one says it's easy. And no one says you have to be perfect, but as long as you try; you're always gonna find it was worth it."
Even if that something doesn't turn out the way you wanted, you learned something. Experienced something, and that, you'll find, is always worth it.
8. "All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on."
You can't fully live your life if you are too busy holding on to something that brings you down. Sometimes you have to let go.
9. "Laughter is the best medicine."
My mother said this. And it's so true. You feel great when you laugh, Why do you think you cant laugh without smiling? If you're feeling down.. laughter is the best way to feeling better.
10. "Intelligence without ambition is a bird without wings."
If you have something grand, and don't use it, let it waste away.. You're letting yourself down, not to mention others. You're missing out on bettering yourself.
11. "An eye for an eye only ends with the whole world blind."
There are better ways to resolve things than violence and revenge.. because in the end, someone always gets hurt. Even people that weren't meant to.
12. "Music is what feelings sound like."
Music is like a therapist. It can help you through anything.
