7 Habits of Highly Effective People
“My wife and I just don’t have the same feelings for each other that we used to have. I guess I don’t love her anymore and she doesn’t love me. What can I do?”
“The feeling isn’t there anymore?” I inquired.
“That’s right” he reaffirmed. “And we have three children we’re really concerned about. What do you suggest?”
“Love her.” I replied.
“I told you, the feeling of love just isn’t there anymore.”
“Love her.”
“You don’t understand. The feeling of love just isn’t there.”
“Then love her. If the feeling isn’t there that’s a good reason to love her.”
“But how do you love when you don’t love?”
“My friend, love is a verb. Love -- the feeling -- is a fruit of love -- the verb. So love her. Sacrifice. Listen to her. Empathize. Appreciate. Affirm her. Are you willing to do that?"

HAPPINESS
Happiness.
It’s something everyone searches for.
Some are sure they’ll find it when they’ve moved back home.
Some think they’ll find it by making a new friend.
Some hope to find it once they’ve defeated the competition
Then there are those who stop searching for happiness,
Because they look up one day to discover,
it was right in front of them,
all the time.

The Vampire Diaries
Dear diary,
I couldn't have been more wrong,
I thought I could smile and nod my way through it,
pretend like it'll all be okay
I had a plan,
I wanted to change who i was,
create a life that someone knew.
Someone without the past
Without the pain
Someone alive
But it's not that easy,
the bad things stay with you
They follow you,
you can't escape them as much as you want to
All you can do is be ready for the good.
So when it comes, you invite it in.
Cause you need it.
I need it.

Winning
"There are a lot of ways to win in this world.
Some battles are won with a hasty retreats,
some victories are claimed by those willing to cheat.
Some opponents are defeated with nothing more than a smile.
Of course, for some, its not enough to win,
someone else has got to lose."

It’s Worth Everything
"They take pictures of mountain climbers at the top of the mountain. They are smiling, ecstatic, triumph. They don’t take pictures along the way because who wants to remember it? We push ourselves because we have to, not because we like it. The relentless climb, the pain and anguish of taking it to the next level. Nobody takes pictures of that; nobody wants to remember. We just wanna remember the view from the top, the breath taking moment at the edge of the world. That’s what keeps us climbing. That’s the crazy part. It’s worth everything."
Excerpt from Grey’s Anatomy.

Grey's
Did you say it
I love you
I don't ever wanna live without you
You changed my life
Did you say it
Make a plan
Set a goal
Work towards it
But every now and then
Look around
Drink it in
Cause this is it
It might all be gone tomorrow
