If Nobody Smiled

If nobody smiled, and nobody cared,
And nobody helped us along;
If every fellow looked out for himself,
And the good things all went to the strong;
If nobody cared just a little for you,
And nobody thought about me,
And we stood all alone in the battle of life,
What a dreary old world this would be!

Life is sweet because of the friends we love,
And the things that in common we share;
And we want to live on, not because of ourselves,
But because of the people who care.
It’s giving and doing for somebody else–
On that all of life’s splendor depends;
And the joy in this world, when you’ve summed it all up,
Is found in the love of our friends.
-Arthur James Hayden

Press beyond the pain until you embrace the rewards of persevering!

* People of mediocre ability sometimes achieve outstanding success because they don't know when to quit. Most men succeed because they are determined to.

Go for the stars, even beyond if you wish!

* This one step - choosing a goal and sticking to it - changes everything.

"Why hurt, when you can love"!, by Hannah George

"Why waste hours cursing at a person, when you can wisefully
spend time uplifting, embracing and consoling that troubled
person who may have made you so angry that your first
immediate reaction was to swear at them. Think, brace
yourself, be calm-headed, and instead of doing what seems to
be what a person deserves who may have hurt you, have
courage, stand boldly, and do what may seem hard to do,
share and show love to whoever tries to rip every fibre of
happiness away from you. Some people will use you, and throw
you aside like an old rag, however you should know within
yourself, you are the image of beauty, in and out, you are
valuabuale and deserve respect as an individual. "So what
should you do?" Well from personal experience I have learned
that those who hurt people the most, are those who are
hurting the most. Its like all they've become accustomed to
is hurt pain and shame. It's almost what their mindset
becomes relatable with, so it's what they dish out to others
without even considering... I may have really hurt her, or
him by what I just said or did. I will choose to love, even
if my heart is ripped into millions of pieces, I refuse to
take the easy way out and show hate and bitterness to the
one who has torn my heart apart. If I choose to hate, then I
am no better than the one who has hurt me. "Why hurt, when
you can love!" Yeah I know you may have millions of resons
why you may want to hurt someone who has wronged you, howver
these easily streaming reasons that may come to your mind
quickly are just cop outs, the easy way out. I have been
used, dissapointed, and hurt many times, but I refuse to
allow bitterness to be the end result of such an amazing
life I was priviliged to live. So I am going to love hard,
especially those who hurt hard, my love will be their
recovery from the baggage of hurt and hate they may be
carrying around so tirelessly. So to whoever of you who have
been hurten by a loved one, companion, or just a passer-by
in whatever way or form, choose to forgive, choose to be
free, choose to let go and let love reign. Show that person
if you have the chance to face them again, that you will
love them, whether they deserve your love or not. Choose to
love, not hurt!."

The 7 Most Motivational Quotes:~

1. Our Deepest Fear

   “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do” --Marianne Williamson, A Return To Love

   
   If not you, then who? We are taught as children that others are great, and that we are not, so I ask the question, “Where do the “great” come from?”
   
   I submit to you that the great arise from the most mundane of places; the great are those who refuse to remain as they are; the great are those who believe in their greatness.
2. You Will Become What You Think About
   

   “The vision that you glorify in your mind, the ideal that you enthrone in your heart, this you will build your life by, and this you will become.” --James Allen, As a Man Thinketh

   
   The thoughts that you harbor in your mind, the ones that you continually give your attention to, those thoughts will eventually become your life.
   
   If you see yourself as a success, then you will become a success; whatever you consistently ponder, you will become.
3. Your Life Should be an Adventure
   

   “Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.”--Helen Keller

   
   Whatever your dream, go after it; never settle for a life of quiet desperation, never become a realist. John Eliot said, “As soon as anyone starts telling you to be “realistic,” cross that person off your invitation list.” Your life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.
4. You Should Never Overestimate the Competition
   

   “The fishing is best where the fewest go, and the collective insecurity of the world makes it easy for people to hit home runs while everyone else is aiming for base hits. There is just less competition for bigger goals. If you are insecure, guess what? The rest of the world is, too. Do not overestimate the competition and underestimate yourself. You are better than you think.”-- Timothy Ferris, The Four Hour Work Week

   
   Someone has to be successful, someone has to write the next bestseller, someone has to be number one, someone has to be on the best, why not you! As the famous poem goes, “You have all that the greatest of men have had, two hands, and two feet.”
5. Just Keep on Working
   

   “I do not have superior intelligence or faultless looks. I do not captivate a room or run a mile under six minutes. I only succeeded because I was still working after everyone else went to sleep.”--Greg Evans

   
   Keep working, and keep working, and keep working towards your goal, eventually you will get there. The key is to remain focused on your goal! I like what J.C. Penny said, he said, “Give me a stock clerk with a goal, and I will give you a man who will make history. Give me a man without a goal, and I will give you a stock clerk.”
6. If You Want It, Go Get It
   

   “You got a dream, you gotta protect it. People can’t do something themselves, they wanna tell you, you can’t do it. If you want something, go get it. Period.”--Will Smith in the Movie: Pursuit of Happyness

   
   There will always be “little men” telling you “how you can’t, why you can’t, and how you’re going to fail when you try.” But if you have a dream, go after it; never let someone tell you what you can’t do. You can do whatever you believe you can do.
7. Remember: Success Always Starts Small
   

   “The greatest achievement was at first, and for a time, but a dream.” --Napoleon Hill

   
   The largest tree was once a tiny seed. There was a time when Microsoft wasn't on any computers; there was a time when Michael Jordan had never scored in a basketball game. Never despise small beginnings, every success starts small. So stay focused, if your focus is steady, you will succeed!
