Wonderful weekend words to live by

How do you know if you’re in the right place in life? I trust and trust and trust. I believe that my path is planned out. All I have to do is choose which path to go down. And yet life twists and turns. I gain new people and lose others close to me. I am presented with the same 'type' of person until I learn how to deal with them. Loss runs through my veins since I was first touched by it very young. With each loss I feel the same inside . Shocked, empty and questioning why. Instead of letting the loss break me, I learn from the pain and find the joy in those lost. Almost like clockwork, I take my step back and reevaluate my life.
Am I following my dreams?

And then he said to me, “Life is so short. Push away those that don’t matter and reach for the stars.”

Today I promise to you, that I will continue to reach for the stars especially on those tougher days. I promise to follow my own path and will look back on my choices and smile. Do not wait for anyone else to decide for you!

Today, can you promise you'll try to do the same?

Be very careful what you wish for – you might get it!
Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without. ~Buddha
Once in a while, it’s OK to eat dessert first.
Take some time to smell the flowers and enjoy the view.

Please remind me of the above words whenever I forget…thank you blogging friends.
