Maybe God wanted us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for the gift. 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. The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had. 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. Don't go for looks, they can decieve. Don't go for wealth, even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile. May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to bring you joy. Always put yourself in another's shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person too. The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything, they just make the most of everything that comes their way. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past. You can't go on with life until you let go of the past failures and heartaches. When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. live your life so that when you die, you're the only one smiling and everyone around you is crying.....
