“I confine time to the sentences…A poet I am, I paint dreams, I seize dreams!”

“How incredibly exciting this one meaningless thing can be, this life of yours.”

“I’ll see you in my dreams.”

“I hold in my hand a million ideas and more. But if I am puzzled as to why they have never leapt out of my hand and been birthed into the realities they were crafted to be, it is likely because the other hand has withheld the sacrifice that is necessary to birth an idea.”

“Don’t be afraid to wake up your dream… give it a hard nudge, a toss of cold water… make it leap, make it fly. Dreams won’t come to life without action.”

“Thoughts become dreams. Dreams become reality. Reality becomes words. Words become stories. Stories inspire thoughts.”

“I’m the bridge jumping friend parents warned you about.”

“Only in sleep I see their faces,Children I played with when I was a child,Louise comes back with her brown hair braided,Annie with ringlets warm and wild.Only in sleep Time is forgotten–What may have come to them, who can know?Yet we played last night as long ago,And the doll-house stood at the turn of the stair.The years had not sharpened their smooth around faces, I met their eyes and found them mild–Do they, too, dream of me, I wonder,And for them am I, too, a child?”

“When nothing seems to be going right, take a break. Clear your head and give yourself some time to rest. Then try again. Rinse and repeat. Over and over again until you see the results you want. Take your time off as a time to change your perspective, as a time to find a solution to your problem. With hard work and dedication, any problem can be solved. Don’t expect instant results with no work, expect small successes and many failures that will build up to become your dreams.”

“There is something vibrantly beautiful, a glow, that radiates from someone who is actively moving towards their goals and dreams. I’m not sure what it is, but I know I love it, I’m attracted to it, and I surround myself with people who have it. The courageous few who dare to radiate this life essence… those are my people.”

“Every step we take toward the top is possible because of all the little steps we took in the past.”

“Don’t let societies perceptions and opinions define who you are as a person. Where is it written that you cannot be great at more than one thing?”

“Dreams come true, with much work.”

“Depression was my body’s way of grieving the loss of my childhood dreams. Writing was my imagination’s way of redefining them.”

“Our parents encouraged us to follow our dreams and told us that if we wanted to do something, we could do it. And, they said, if we did it the Lord’s way, for the right reasons, we would be successful. Not that we would win every game or be wealthy, but that we would be successful in God’s eyes if we did the things that glorify Him.”
