Image
With endless time, nothing is special. With no loss or sacrifice, we can’t appreciate what we have
Mitch Albom
Image
Accept what you are able to do and what you are not able to do. Accept the past as past, without denying it or discarding it. Learn to forgive yourself and to forgive others. Don't assume that it's too late to get involved.

Lost love is still love. It takes a different form, that's all. You can't see their smile or bring them food or tousle their hair or move them around a dance floor. But when those senses weaken another heightens. Memory. Memory becomes your partner. You nurture it. You hold it. You dance with it.

People are only mean when they're threatened, and that's what our culture does. That's what our economy does.
Mitch Albom
Image
If you could pack for heaven, this was how you'd do it, touching everything, taking nothing.
Mitch Albom
Image
I traded lots of dreams for a bigger paycheck, and I never even realized I was doing it.
Mitch Albom
Image
The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others.
Mitch Albom
Image
Soon man will count all his days, and then smaller segments of the day, and then smaller still—until the counting consumes him, and the wonder of the world he has been given is lost.

Image
Silence is worse when you know it won't be broken.
Mitch Albom
Image
When you're rotten about yourself, you become rotten to everyone else, even those you love.
Mitch Albom
Image
We cannot stop what Heaven chooses.

I also believe that parents, if they love you, will hold you up safely, above their swirling waters, and sometimes that means you'll never know what they endured, and you may treat them unkindly, in a way you otherwise wouldn't.

Having more does not keep you from wanting more. And if you always want more - to be richer, more beautiful, more well known - you are missing the bigger picture, and I can tell you from experience, happiness will never come
