Contentment is not the fulfillment of what you want, it is the realization of how much you already have. When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don’t see the one, which has been opened for us. It’s true that we don’t know what we’ve got until we lose it, but it’s also true that we don’t know what we’ve been missing. Until it arrives. Giving someone all your heart is never an assurance that they’ll love you back! Don’t expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart but if it doesn’t, be contented it grew in yours. It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. Don’t go for looks; they can deceive. Don’t go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one who'll make your heart smile. There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real! Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you only have one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do. May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to make you human, enough hope to make you happy. Always put yourself in other’s shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the person, too. The happiness of people don’t necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives. Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear. The brightest future will always be based on the forgotten past, you can’t go on well in life until you let go of your past failure and heartaches. ____________________________________________________________
