“It’s the oldest story in the world. One day you’re 17 and planning for “some day.” And then quietly and without you ever really noticing, “some day” is today. And then “some day” is yesterday. And this is your life.”
One Tree Hill
“If you want something bad enough, you’ll follow every single path, go down every single avenue you can possibly find to reach your goal. If it’s worth it, you won’t hesitate or second guess. If it’s not, you’ll just make excuse after excuse why you can’t make it happen when you know perfectly well you could if you just tried.”
“The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. The brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want it badly enough.”
“It was one of those times you feel a sense of loss, even though you didn’t have something in the first place. I guess that’s what disappointment is, a sense of loss for something you never had.”
“Sometimes you don’t know you’ve crossed a line until you’re already on the other side.”
“You can be happy tomorrow. You can be happy when you get through your list of things to do. You can be happy when you meet the one. You can be happy when you get the right job. You can be happy when you get that raise. You can be happy when you stop buying the things you need and start buying the things you want. You can be happy when you retire. You can be happy when the weather suits you. You can be happy on a plane. You can be happy in the rain. Or you can stop reading this, take a deep breath, and be happy right now.”
