IRONMAN [rocks a doggie tag]

**************************THOUGHTS ON LIFE************************* Lifes to short to be unhappy! Make the most of it. Perfect happiness is wasted on things like grudges and hatred. Hate is a waste of emotion. Laugh when you can, apologize when you should and let go of what you can't change. Love deeply and forgive quickly. Dont fear falling out of love or youll miss the joy of falling in. The good almost always out-weighs the bad. Dont be negative. There are far more things in this world to be thankful for then there are to complain about. Talk about your feelings. Express yourself. A stong person stands up for themselves, but a stronger person stands up for others. Self-respect is the only kind that matters. Challenges are good for you. Be quick to listen and slow to anger. Turmoil will only make you stronger if you let it. It's the hard times that make you. Strength matters most in your moment of weakness. Keep an open mind. Give someone a hug. Be understanding. Be that shoulder to cry on. Do the right thing. Have a heart. Dont let someone you know become someone you knew. Its okay to get angry once in a while, just dont stay that way. If someone is down, give them a hand up. Stay true to yourself. Keep it real. People can change for the better, but its a decision only they can make. Learn from your mistakes, as well as the mistakes of others. Its okay to fail as long as it means your trying. The only constant is change, the only certainty is uncertainty and without chaos, true peace would mean nothing. We are who we chose to be. Take a deep breath, enjoy the fresh air. Live with purpose! Exist to inspire! Take chances. Determination! Never quit! Never give up! Never back down! Never say die! Dare to be different. Fight for what you believe in! Follow your dreams and chase the stars! Beauty has no limit. Be a positive influence. Make an impact! Attitude is everything, have a good one! Enjoy the ride without ruining someone elses. You'll find what you need most when were not looking for it. Laugh every chance you get! Dont follow the crowd, make one! Those that follow the crowd usually get lost in it. It's now or never. Sometimes its best to just "dive in". Laugh hard and live easy. Always forgive but never forget. Learn from the past and never regret. Live for the moment. Live for today, yesterday is gone and tomorrow isnt promised. Live like you were dying. Each day is a gift so make it count. And when the time is right take the road less traveled.
