Have a Little Faith

Faith is having the audacity to believe that the reality that exists for other people does not apply to you. "A thousand may fall at your side and ten thousand at your right but it shall not come near you..."

Don't Die Dreaming

You are not going to die with your dreams. They are much too big to fit in a coffin anyway.

Live!

You were not born to simply exist, you were born to live and to do so in abundance so don't be content with just surviving through this life, thrive! Make it so that when you leave this earth, they will say of you "that person lived and they did so most excellently."

Be Good to People

Be good to people. Be kind, be tolerant, be nonjudgmental. You have no idea what influence even a stranger may have over your life. Whether it be in that exact moment or somewhere down the line. People will always remember how you treated them.

Archipelagoes

Being surrounded by people doesn't always mean you never feel lonely. Being alone doesn't always mean you're lonely either.

Don't Fit in

Some people don't stand out because they're too busy trying to fit in.

Build YOU up

In life there are builders and there are brick throwers. The builders tend to be the oddballs, the idealists, the dreamers, the visionaries & then you have the brick throwers: those that are far too stunted in perception and ingenuity to deviate from the norm, too content with mediocrity to build anything worth a damn. It's not that they are incapable, it's just that they find it easier to let negativity pile up and consume them. It becomes so overwhelming and burdensome that they want to share it so they begin to throw it at the builders. To knock them down and bring them to their level. That's why I'm talking to you, the builder... use the bricks they throw at you to build your castle, to expand your fortress and live there, forever untouched by those pesky brick throwers.
