Time gives your life a unique perspective as you get older. You see that the challenges that once seemed so scary when you were young, really weren’t that scary at all. Looking back, you’re glad you took the risks. Like my mother said, “If you don’t get a few bruises and scrapes along the way, then you’re not living”. And if time teaches us anything in this crazy world, it’s that nothing worth having ever comes easy.

Passion and satisfaction go hand in hand, and without them, any happiness is only temporary, because there’s nothing to make it last.

Via Quote Book:
A woman is often measured by the things she cannot control. She is measured by the way her body curves or doesn’t curve, by where she is flat or straight or round. She is measured by 36-24-36 and inches and ages and numbers, by all the outside things that don’t ever add up to who she is on the inside. And so if a woman is to be measured, let her be measured by the things she can control, by who she is and who she is trying to become. Because as every woman knows, measurements are only statistics. and STATISTICS LIE.
