“Anyone can give up, it’s the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that’s true strength.”

“Don’t stop chasing.
I think that one of the biggest reason why relationships do not work out in the long run is because at one point, one side (or both) stops trying. Before one claims another person as their significant other, they would do anything to make that person happy. They would chase, they would flirt, they would be charming. They would send daily morning and goodnight texts every time you wake up or go to sleep. They would write corny messages and pick up lines just to make sure that there is a smile upon your face. But once they claim you as theirs, all of those things eventually stop. The 5 page texts slowly turn into 1. The constant calls turn into not calling at all. And the lovely endearments turn into daily arguments. In order for a relationship to work, don’t ever stop chasing. Just because the person you want is now consider “yours”, it does not mean they deserve anything less than the time when you’re trying to win them over.” —

“A small trouble is like a pebble. Hold it too close to your eye and it fills the whole world and puts everything out of focus. Hold it at a proper distance and it can be examined and properly classified. Throw it at your feet and it can be seen in its true setting, just one more tiny bump on the pathway of life.”

“What I want is to be needed. What I need is to be indispensable to somebody. Who I need is somebody that will eat up all my free time, my ego, my attention. Somebody addicted to me. A mutual addiction.”

“We all give more of ourselves in the presence of others. Always. Always… There’s a coming face to face with the reality that you get only back what you give, and people extend themselves places they’ve never been before… there’s a critical life lesson there. Super critical. It’s one of the most important things I can teach someone - to dig deep and give of themselves beyond what they would have assumed they had the capacity to.”

“To reach greatness, sacrifices must be made. You have to be willing to push harder, climb higher and dig deeper. When obstacles arise that might buckle the common man’s knees, you burst through because it’s the only option. There will be pain. There will be suffering. But others fall, you continue to rise. Many are mediocre. Few are great. I’ve made my choice. Have you made yours? There’s nothing like greatness.”
