I remember once. Someone in the past who was very dear to my heart once told me one rainy afternoon. He loves me, but he needs to let go. I was definitely caught off guard. I didn’t understand. Why would you leave somebody if you love him or her? Or is it just an excuse to make the separation easier especially for me? It was truly a heartbreaker. The pain was really real and it cuts so deep into my soul to the point that I led myself to believe that love does more hurts and pains than joy and bliss. But I realized that I should not stop believing in love because "love doesn’t walk away, people do."

"Sometimes you will never know the true value of a moment until it becomes a memory."

There are times that we wish that never happened. We take for granted important little things, people that are important to us and relationships that need time and nourishment. We only realize their true value once they are gone.  So set your priorities straight. Know that the most important things in life are the people you love and love you back. Share precious moments with family friends while they are still around, while you still can. Show them you love them. Tell them you love them. This is your moment!

"Good things come to those who wait."

It’s like saying patience is a virtue, because in this world everything has its time. Whether you are waiting for your one true love, perfect career, your dream car, grandiose house, everything will just come into its place sooner or later. At the right time, the fruits of your labor will be ripe enough to harvest, and when you do, it will taste its sweetest. So don’t give up. Don’t lose faith. God loves you and he desires only the best for you. Your time will come and all your heart’s desire will come to true.

"Remind yourself that it's okay not to be perfect"

Always remember that nothing in this world is perfect. And you as a person are not obliged to be one. For learning is all about making mistakes. You find your purpose through it. And life is an ongoing process of learning and correcting errors. No one in this world is created faultless. The only varying point is that some learn from their mistakes in order to be perfect. Others continuously make mistakes and never learn from it. Allow yourself to be judged and corrected, for through it you become a better person.

Remember that being perfect is only a dream that is unattainable. Despite that, aspiring to become a better and knowledgeable person is more realistic. All you have to do is to accept imperfections. 

"Just to be alive is a grand thing."

There are a lot of people who take human life for granted. Some do it unintentionally while others strive to rationalize it. We are all guilty of this crime. There comes a certain point in our life that disappointments and failures influence how we value our lives. A classic example is vanity. People see one’s worth through appearance. Thus, a lot of people change the way they look just to pass the today’s standards of beauty. Keep in mind that breathing and experiencing the life’s wonders is already a priceless gift. Why search for more if you as a living creature in this world already possess the most valuable possession? Once we value life, contentment is in order. And with contentment, rest assured that nothing in this world could ever let you feel deprived. 

"You always deserve to be the most important person in somebody's life"

Most people wonder why they are born in this world. This is merely because life is a quest. We live to find meaning and purpose. Along the road, people get lost and confused. With all the adversities in life, it is without a doubt that people sometimes forget their dreams and self-worth. No matter what, keep on going. For only when you realize life’s meaning and purpose would you be able to find what you’re looking for. To give you a hint, you are born to be an important piece of someone’s life. 

For each person is created to complete someone. As they say, self-actualization is the highest level of human need. For it is the stage, where one learns and realize that each one of us deserves to be the most important person in someone’s life. He may not be your one true love at the moment but he will prove to you that you are a priceless creation.

"Use things not people. Love people not things."

Happiness; people see this sensation as a goal and not as an unstable feeling. For this reason, we believe that if we posses everything money can buy, we achieve our goal: happiness. We go beyond extreme measures to achieve this, even if the consequences would hurt someone. In reality, there is no material in this world that would bring you great and stable happiness. Only your co-human beings can provide it. Strong human connections are the world’s most priceless creation. Things are invented and created for usage. Humans on the other hand are created to be loved, cherished and valued. Treat every human with respect and worth equally as you treat thyself and they will treat you the same. 

"Stop Holding on to what Hurts and make room for what feels Good."

Hatred and anger would only bury you with pain and sorrow. For life is about moving forward with someone who makes you better person, something good that you must cherish for life.

Did you ever hear of the expression "people change?" However, did you know that the person never really change in terms of character. What changed was your perception about that person.
