Maybe *
*Maybe . . we were supposed to
meet the wrong people before meeting the right one so that, when we
finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that
gift.
*Maybe . . . when the door of
happiness closes, another opens; but, often times, we look so long at
the closed door that we don't even see the new one which has been
opened for us.
*Maybe
. . . it is true that we don't know what we have until we lose it, but
it is also true that we don't know what we have been missing until it
arrives.
*Maybe . . . the happiest of
people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make
the most of everything that comes along their way.
*Maybe . . . the brightest
future will always be based on a forgotten past; after all, you can't
go on successfully in life until you let go of your past mistakes,
failures and heartaches.
*Maybe . . . you should dream
what you want to dream; go where you want to go, be what you want to
be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things
you dream of, and want to do.
*Maybe . . . there are moments
in life when you miss someone -- a parent, a spouse, a friend, a child
-- so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug
them for real, so that once they are around you appreciate them more.
*Maybe . . . 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.
*Maybe . . you should always
try to put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that something could
hurt you, it probably will hurt the other person, too.
*Maybe . . you should do
something nice for someone every single day, even if it is simply to
leave them alone.
*Maybe . . giving someone all
your love is never an assurance that they will love you back. Don't
expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart; but, if
it doesn't, be content that it grew in yours.
*Maybe . . . happiness waits
for all those who cry, all those who hurt, all those who have searched,
and all those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the
importance of all the people who have touched their lives.
*Maybe . . . you shouldn'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 smile to
make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.
*Maybe . . you should hope for
enough happiness to make you
sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you
human, and enough hope to make you happy.
*Maybe . . . you should try to
live your life to the fullest because when you were born, you were
crying and everyone around you was smiling but when you die, you can be
the one who is smiling and everyone around you crying.
*Maybe . . . you could call those people who mean
something to you, to those who have touched your life, to those who can
and do make you smile when you really need it, to those who make you
see the brighter side of things when you are really down, and
to all those whom you want to know that you appreciate them and
their friendship. *Maybe.
