When life gives u lemons, make lemonade. Then, throw it in the face of the person who should've gotten you the oranges you orginally asked for.
What we do is determined by what we are. What we are is determined by what we think. What we think is determined by what we experience. What we experience is determined by what we are exposed to and what we do with that exposure.
(MIKE VANCE and DIANE DEACON)
Life is like a book with many different chapters. Some tell of tragedy, others of triumph. Some chapters are dull and ordinary, others intense and exciting. The key to being a success in life is to never stop on a difficult page, to never quit on a tough chapter. Champions have the courage to keep turning the pages because they know a better chapter lies ahead.
(RICH RUFFALO)
Because you're able to do it and because you have the right to do it, doesn't mean it's right to do it.

We are born with our eyes closed and our mouths open, and we spend our whole lives trying to reverse that mistake of nature.

You can have anything you want if you want it desperately enough. You must want it with an inner exuberance that erupts through the skin and joins the energy that created the world.

We all have the ability. The difference is how we use it.

Everything is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Every great mistake has a halfway moment, a split second when it can be recalled and perhaps remedied.
One person can make a difference and every person should try.
The one thing worse than being alone is not being alone and wishing you were.
Real difficulties can be overcome, it is only the imaginary ones that are unconquerable.

Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not, but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.

When you look in the mirror, you are looking at the problem, but remember, you are also looking at the solution.
Live your life, so you don't have to hide your diary.
Dream what you dare to dream. Go where you want to go. Be what you want to be.

The first thing of importance is to have confidence in yourself, in your abilities.

Become a 'possibilitarian'. No matter how dark things seem to be or actually are, raise your sights and see the possibilities-always see them, for they are always there.
(NORMAN VINCENT PEALE)
DAVID COPPERFIELD just might be the greatest magician and illusionist of all time. He is definitely a legend in his own time. Here are some of his most inspiring quotes...
'The easiest thing in the world is to come up with an excuse not to do something. I found that the most important thing in life is to stop saying,'I wish,' and to start saying,'I will.'
'Before there can be wonders, there must be wonder.'
'Whenever I pursued my dreams, I discovered something astonishing-I discovered myself. My secret has been to consider nothing impossible. Then to treat possibilities as probabilities.'
'Passion is everything.'
'I learned that there were two ways I could live my life: following my dreams or doing something else. Dreams aren't a matter of chance, but a matter of choice. When I dream, I believe I am rehearsing my future.'
Miracles do not happen in contradiction to nature, but only in contradiction to that which is known to us of nature.
(SAINT AUGUSTINE)
The world is composed of givers and takers... the takers may eat better, but the givers sleep better.
Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.
(ROBERT FROST)
Love is a fruit in season at all times and within reach of every hand.

I have a friend that needs major help.
He has a girlfriend and they're always off and on.
Whenever she breaks up with him he breaks down and gets drunk or high.
Recently she broke up with him and he almost committed suicide and was put in an asylum for 3 days.
He's only 14 years old. He doesn't listen to anyone when he's with her. He doesn't realize that there's other people that care about him.
And no I don't like him, we used to really good friends. He was my best guy friend, and I barely talk to him anymore. I miss the old him.
How am I supposed keep him fromhurting himself or potentially killing him self if sh breaks up with him. (link)

Hey,
For starters,I think that you are a really good freind ,and how much you care about him and stuff, thats why I want YOU to sit and have a little talk with him, like one of the old talks you probably used to have as best freinds.
Ask him about his life and what he has been doing, tell him that you understand how he loves his girlfreind so much and that you are the only one who knows how he feels because you know him better than anyone else . But tell him that there is a bright side to everything in this life. And that we do get hurt sometimes ,especially when we are dumped by someone we truly love, but then we have to get over it. We can't just sit there drinking ,doing drugs and writing our suicidal note, when there are people out there who loves you more than your girlfriend. There is our family, friends and other people who care so much about us.
Tell him that its not the end of the life, he still has a long way to go and alot of girls to date, life doesn't stop here.
Ofcourse he can cry all he want, and scream and curse and get all mad and depressed, but never should he reach the limit of considering suicide. Because if he thinks that these couple of things he does after ever break up is the solution than he is dead wrong.
Tell him that you are there beside him and for him and that you are his friend and he could tell you all he wants.
Because sometimes, we are just too blind with tears to see the reality of the world around us. He just needs to things, someone to point out things to him and to show him what he was too blind to see, and tell him whats right and whats wrong and what should be done. And someone to be there for him and hold his hands and tell him that things would be okay. Why don't you remind him of old days when you and him where best freinds and used to hang out and do lots of fun stuff. Remind him of the old him ,and the person he used to be before he started obssessing about his girl and thinking that she's his whole life.
Try to do all that, and show him how caring and understanding you are. But don't pity him or sympathize, because he could get mad.
So try to work things out, and if you need any more advice ,please be free to contact me, and i will tell you what else to do.
