This isn't a practice life. Do your best at everything. All we have is our name. Live up to it, it's the only thing that will be left behind to represent you. Mean what you say and say what you mean even when it's hard because opportunities are lost in a blink of an eye and regrets can last a lifetime. Don't expect anything- risk it, you never know. Life is a learning process of finding balance, losing it and finding it again. Accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes ahead.. learn to build your roads today because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans...and futures have ways of falling down in mid-flight. Remember you may not end up where you thought you were going...but you'll always end up where you were meant to be. Thank those who make you smile--who never gave up--who care. Hold onto good friends, for they are few and far between. Love someone with all your heart. Most people have a harder time letting themselves love other than finding someone to love them.
