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.
(DALE E.TURNER)
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.

The goal in marriage is not to think alike, but to think together.

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.
(KATHARINE GIBBS)
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.

Umm... I'm a really shy person and I was wondering if anybody can help me become more talkative and less shy. Maybe even some reasons why I'm quiet. Well thanks to those that can help.
With love,

Dear MysteriousGirl,
This is not a problem at all. I was once like that and now i can talk to nearly anyone i've just met and i talk so friendly, and its totally cool, i don't care.
It just simply comes after time, little by little and it helps more when you deal with people who are more of your type, cause that encourages you to fit in easily and be comfortable there.
'Shy' is not a medical condition, and so 'shy' does not have a drug to cure it, as well as 'shy' is not a problem, so 'shy' does not have or require advice or answers. 'Shy' is a character in someone's personality, and sometimes somehow, it is a character in every single person's personality, but it differs on how each one would deal with it, overcome it, or be defeated by it. Just let go, there is nothing to be shy about, and i know that its something you can't help it, its just there, so that's why i'm telling you that by time, you'll come around. But the thing is, what are you shy about? who are you shy around? why? all those people you are shy infront of are just human beings like you and are shy too,but they deal with it, they won't bite you, they won't make fun of you, its cool, if you talk to them, they could actually once become your bestest friends, and you'll find that they are very kind and nice and decent.
Try to join in on conversations, give your opinion, even if YOU think it sounds lame or off point, it could drag another conversation, and don't think that people would like not hear you or ignore you, no ,they are not monsters, they would listen, and appreciate your contribution and would make you join in more with them, and would like you more, and say, oh this girl has a personality of her own and she speaks up her mind and stuff.
So basically what i'm saying is that, your quiet because your scared that if you speak up, people would think that what your saying is lame or would mock you or any thing of the sort, but they won't, they won't do that, so like, speak up your mind and share your opinions and don't worry, its totally cool.
Last thing, is that its not real bad for a person to be quiet, i'm a quiet person, and its sometimes actually better than being a talkative person, people sometimes get really annoyed from those who are very talkative. So your on the safe side, hehe :):):):)
If you need any other help or advice, please be free to contact me.
