    Sorry I have been lagging at my Sappy Sunday quotes, I have been busy over the weekends! Hopefully this weekend I can stay more on track :) Anyway, this weeks Sappy Sunday quotes relate to relying more on yourself. I put so much effort into my friends, sometimes I need to take a step back and put that energy into bettering myself. Here are my favorite quotes on self improvement :)

    “Maybe we have to break everything to make something better out of ourselves.”

    I feel like my world kind of got messy for a second. Too many things happened at once, but it showed me who I can and can’t count on, and also taught me to rely on myself before anyone else. I had to break everything to really start rebuilding myself.

    “The thing is, we have to let go of all blame, all attacking, all judging, to free our inner selves to attract what we say we want. Until we do, we are hamsters in a cage chasing our own tails and wondering why we aren’t getting the results we seek.”

    “Look upon  every experience you’ve ever had, and everyone who’s ever played any role in your life, as having been sent to you for your benefit. In this Universe, there are simply no accidents.”

    I like this one a lot, it is good to reflect on every single person in your life and to determine the lesson they are teaching you. Whether it be a heart break, a lost friend, a random new friend… what is their purpose? Take the lesson and move forward.

    “The safest principle through life, instead of reforming others, is to set about perfecting yourself.”

    And my ALL time favorite?

    “You do not need to be loved, not at the cost of yourself. The single relationship that is truly central and crucial in a life is the relationship to the self. Of all the people you will know in a lifetime, you are the only one you will never lose.”

    I think too many people rely on others for happiness. Life throws curve balls at us non stop and at the end of the day you must have a solid core to hold yourself together. What are you going to do when your marriage ends? Your husband leaves and never comes back? Your best friend betrays you? Someone close to you passes away? We all should really strive to exist alone at some point in our lives. You gain insight on what is important and learn fast that the solution is simply to invest more in yourself :)

    I never loveeee loveee movies but I loveeee The Notebook, it will always be one of my all time faves, (me and everyone else on this planet I know…) the ending is just the best. I lagged a bit on my Sappy Sunday quote this weekend so I wanted to do it now! I saw this quote and loved it, it reminded me of the Notebook movie. It took them so long to finally figure things out but in the end it was worth it.

    “A soulmates purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego, show you your obstacles, addictions & break your heart open so new light can get in.”

    I think you can find this in anyone, not just a boyfriend or girlfriend. I have friends who have torn me apart only to make me a better person in the end. I think the relationships that tear you apart are the best kind. They are so real and they force you to reflect and grow. Of course they are only the best if you walk away with a valuable lesson learned. Think about it :)

    My goal for this week is to take nothing for granted. It is so easy to get caught up in life and to totally forget what matters most. That job you hate going to, your girlfriend nagging you, your car needing an oil change, your messy room… as annoying as all those things are they are tiny, tiny problems in the overall picture. Besides, if that is all you are worrying about you are lucky! Here are a few of my favorite related quotes:

    “When something does not insist on being noticed, when we aren’t grabbed by the collar or struck on the skull by a presence or an event, we take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude”

    Value the friends you have while they’re around, you never know when they’ll be gone.”

    “There is no value in life except what you choose to place upon it and no happiness in any place except what you bring to it yourself.”

    I have realizations, like that life is bigger than us. People forget that, but I’m always aware of it. Like when I’m in the bathroom looking at my toilet paper, I’m like ‘Wow! That’s toilet paper?’ I don’t know if we appreciate how much we have.

    “We can only appreciate the miracle of a sunrise if we have waited in the darkness”

    Appreciate me now, and avoid the rush”

    “It is only after a fair portion of one’s life that one really knows what are the things that matter, the things that will remain until the end.”

    “Appreciate everything in your life good or bad. Extract the lesson from every bad situation, learn from it and move forward.”

    I hope everyone has a fabulous Sunday! kids holding hands

    So it’s Sunday, I am in OC and all my friends are out pool partying. I almooooost went but I have so much to do I unwillingly declined. I have been working for the past year on a few projects and ideas and finally they are slowly but surely coming together. As hard as it is, it’s motivating to see it develop. So the theme for today’s Sappy Sunday quotes is to dream big, worry small, and never ever give up! Have an idea? What is stopping you? Gooooo for it!

    “To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream, not only plan, but also believe.”

    “When we are dreaming alone it is only a dream. When we are dreaming with others, it is the beginning of reality.”

    “If you wait to do everything until you’re sure it’s right, you’ll probably never do much of anything.”

    “You miss 100% of the shots you never take.”

    “The key to realizing a dream is to focus not on success but significance – and then even the small steps and little victories along your path will take on greater meaning.”

    Monday is right around the corner, dedicate this fresh new week to taking baby steps towards the direction you want to go. Looking for a new job? Re do your resume, send it to friends to edit, add some fancier words to sound more professional, buy some nicer paper, add a picture, email friends asking for connections, make something happen even if its small. Just a few examples of baby steps for one specific issue.

    I love quotes. One quote can completely change my entire perspective on something. So I wanna start a Sappy Sunday. Sunday’s are the best day to look back on your week and kinda reflect what you liked, what you didn’t and where to go next :)

    Sappy Sunday quote:

    “It is easy to be happy when life flows perfectly, but the man worth while is the one who will smile when everything goes completely wrong. The test of the heart is trouble, and the smile that is worth having is the one that shines through the tears.”

    I really like this quote and think its so true. It shows so much about a person’s character when things get a bit difficult and they completely lose themselves or shut down on you. Everyday we are faced with situations that put our hearts to the test, and the people I want in my life are the people who understand with good times come bad and who smile through it anyway. It is easy to forget to be patient and kind with the people you love so this quote reminded me tp do just that :) Love Hands
