Every Action Matters..

“There’s something inside of you, she said.

A flame. A gorgeous flame of light.

Every action you take affects the flame.

Some actions make it shine brighter.

Some make it flicker and dim.

And some grow it and make it bigger inside.

every moment counts to this flame.

Every action matters.’ She held her face

to the girl’s and whispered, ‘Dance with

honesty and trust through your journey,

and you will grow your flame.

Grow your flame, and you will

ignite the world.”

LOVE IS LIKE WATER by Jaime Rodriguez

LOVE IS LIKE WATER by Jaime Rodriguez

Love is like water

You can not grasp it 

you can not contain it

If you try to imprison it

it turns into vapor an escapes

if you try to possess it

it runs through your fingers

if you don't give it your warmth

it freezes and turns into ice 

Love is the joining of two rivers

together, yet free

inseparable, yet independent

different, yet the same

soft, yet strong

gentle, yet powerful,

always flowing 

Swim against its current

and it will drown you

Resist it or fight it, 

and it will drag you and hurt you

Drink from it continuously,

and it will overwhelm and choke you

Don't resist and it will gently carry you 

Don't fight it and it will make you weightless

Don't try to stop it and it will caress and cleanse your soul

Listen to it and it will bring you peace

Don't try to force it, submit to it, give in

Become one with it

~ Jaime Rodriguez

I Believe..

that sometimes when I'm angry 

I have the right to be angry, 

but, that doesn't give me the right to be cruel..

I Believe..

that just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't 

love you with all they have..

I Believe..

that Maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had

and what you've learned from them

and less to do with 

how many birthdays you've celebrated..

I Believe..

that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others...

sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself..

I Believe..

that no matter how bad your heart is broken

the world doesn't stop for your grief..

I Believe..

that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are,

but we are responsible for who we become..

I Believe..

that just because two people argue, 

it doesn't mean they don't love each other. 

And, just because they don't argue, 

it doesn't mean they do..

I Believe..

that you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret…

it could change your life forever..

I believe..

that two people can look at the exact same thing

and see something totally different..

I Believe..

that your life can be changed in a matter of hours

by people who don't even know you..

I Believe..

that even when you think you have no more to give,

when a friend cries out to you

- you will find the strength to help..

I Believe..

that credentials on the wall

do not make you a decent human being..

I Believe..

that the people you care about most in life

are taken from you too soon..

I Believe..

that we don't have to change friends

if we understand that friends change..

I Believe..

that no matter how good a friend is, 

they're going to hurt you every once in a while 

and you must forgive them for that..

I Believe..

that true friendship continues to grow,

even over the longest distance..

Same goes for true love..

I Believe..

that you can do something in an instant

 that will give you heartache for life..

I Believe..

that it's taking me a long time 

to become the person I want to be..

I Believe..

that you should always leave loved ones 

with loving words..

It may be the last time you see them..

I Believe..

that you can keep going long after you can't..

I Believe..

that we are responsible for what we do,

no matter how we feel..

I Believe..

that either you control your attitude or it controls you..

I Believe..

that regardless of how hot and steamy

a relationship is at first,

the passion fades and there had better be 

something else to take its place..

I Believe..

that heroes are the people 

who do what has to be done

when it needs to be done, 

regardless of the consequences.

I Believe..

that Money is a lousy way of keeping score.

I Believe..

that my best friend and I can do anything 

or nothing, and have the best time..

I Believe..

that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down,

will be the ones to help you get back up..
