"THERE ARE NO COINCIDENCES IN LIFE. NOTHING HAPPENS BY PURE CHANCE"
Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup - Kahlil Gibran 'The Prophet' in regards to love and marriage.

Made me stop fantasising and obsessing over finding a man and getting married, like it was the ultimate goal in my life and that I could never be whole without it. And I realised I had to do what I wanted to do with my life and stop following the path I thought I was supposed to follow. I quit Uni, travelled the world, and now I live in Greece. I am now happily married to a local with a 7wk old girl :o) and I wasnt looking for it!!

Also from the same book

"You shall be free indeed when your days are not without a care nor your nights without a want and a grief,
But rather when these things girdle your life and yet you rise above them naked and unbound."

This taught me to never allow myself to become the victim regardless of the trials life through at me. To always get back up and keep fighting.
You can choose to think you can or you can choose to think you can't either way you will be right.
"Try it yourself and then you`ll be satisfied" A good friend, who was a lot older than me, got tired of my asking for advise, then not taking it.
Never doubt in the darkness that which you believed in the light.
This helps me to quit doubting all the things I really believe in when things get crazy.
"What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

I think it helps me realize that it's what's in me that matters, the content of my character, not what has happened in the past or what will happen in the future. I saw this quote on a card I got for my teenage sister when she found out she was pregnant. I hope it inspired her that she could overcome the stereotypes and be a good mother.
I was always trying to please everyone else and never doing waht was right for me. One dya, I was thinking about this and I asked myself..

"How can I follow my own hopes and dreams when I am living for everyone else?"
Well I just like to think from the another aspect, I don't really tend to Live my life from others principles. Well her is one nice quote by Nietzsche. And we should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once. And we should call every truth false which was not accompanied by at least one laugh.
Well it is up on you to find the way how to, = )
