One Step at a Time

You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet.  Now you're feeling more and more frustrated. There's no need to rush. It's gonna happen when it's supposed to happen. We live and we learn to take one step at a time.

Jordin Sparks in "One Step at a Time"

Despite our eagerness and willingness, there are wrong times to try to make a big move or step in life. I believe that when things are destined to happen that is when they will happen. We just have to be patient and believe in the process.

Magic is Forgetting

Nothing changes. Things are, or they are not. Magic is forgetting that something ever was other than as you willed it.

Katherine Arden from “The Bear and the Nightingale”

I think this can be used to describe many things in life such as faith, miracles, hope, and just plain belief. Sometimes miraculous events in life or just plain ordinary miracles can happen when we just forget that life has to be a certain way.

A True Warrior

The fighter battles with passion of the heart, but a true warrior battles with wisdom of the soul.

Monkey King from The Librarians "And the Fatal Separation"

I Have No Fear

I never walked near the edge, used to fear falling. I never swam far from shore. But when you give me love, I have no fear of heights, no fear of the deep blue sea although it could drown me.

Katie Melua in "No Fear of Heights"

The wonderful thing about love, family and friends is that the support we receive from them can give us courage to do things we never thought were possible.

Backs Against the Wall

Human beings adapt. It’s what we do. Necessity can obliterate our hatreds. To survive, we will work together. Accept each other. The last few years have likely been the only time in human history that we weren’t at war with ourselves. For a moment we were all equal. Backs against the wall, human beings are at their finest.

Daniel H. Wilson in “Robopocalypse”

It is always wonderful to see when caring people will band together to show or give support to strangers who have suffered through a catastrophe or tragedy. It helps strengthen my belief in human nature, even in times when there is so much hatred and selfishness in this world.

Those Turns We never See Coming

Life rarely allows one the luxury of hewing to one's plans. The best we can do is adapt to those turns we never see coming.

Ichabod Crane from Sleepy Hollow "Dawn's Early Light"

I feel like life is always throwing curve balls our way. The people who succeed the best in life are the ones who have learned to expect the unexpected and who can change their plans in an instance.

It's Wanting What You've Got

It's not having what you want, it's wanting what you've got. Don't have no master suite, but I'm still the king of me. I'm gonna soak up the sun while it's still free, before it goes out on me.

Sheryl Crow in "Soak up the Sun"

It is easy to become obsessed with always wanting new and better possessions, but it is better for your soul to be happy with what you already have. Sometimes the happiest people are the ones who are at peace with their situation.
