A boy will fall for your looks. A man will fall for your soul’s intentions. A boy will hate on your ambition. A man will be in love with your optimism. A boy will disregard a relationship with your family. A man will take it upon himself to form a bond with those you love. A boy will call your neediness overbearing, a man will appreciate your want to spend time with him and never take a second for granted. A boy cannot hide his financial instabilities, a man may not be rich but he is stable. A boy cannot hide his inability to provide to you what you provide to him, a man matches and surpasses your gestures to ensure you feel just as loved as he does. A boy blames his past for his present failures and mistakes. A man embraces his past, uses it to form a foundation and never a crutch. A boy blames others for his irresponsibility. A man owns up to his faults but not only does he take responsibility – he fixes them. A boy has no idea how to handle a woman who is trying to love him with all she has. A man is determined to get her to the alter.- Post from Demetrius Threefiveseven-Esq

A coffee bean actually changes the hot water. When the water gets hot, it releases the fragrance and flavor. If you are like the bean, when things are at their worst, you get better and change the situation around you.~ Author unknown.

1.  You are loved.
2.  If anyone actually is keeping a tally of all your failings, that act says more about them than it does about you.
3. You can't make all of the people happy all of the time; maybe not even some of the people some of the time..
4 There is never an end to learning, or growing, or discovering.
5.You will always find a way out, even when all the doors slam shut and everything feels impossible.
6  Earnestness and optimism can trump irony and cynicism.
7. It's possible to recapture the way you felt when you were young, how the perfect clockwork mechanism of the universe used to leave you breathless and giddy with wonder.
8.There will always be more stories to tell, or at the very least new ways of reinterpreting old fables.
9 Someday even the sun will disappear; remember that everything we see and touch and taste is made of stars that grew and pulsed and died long before this planet ever existed.
10. Assume that you are under some kind of obligation to make the world a better place.

One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey. He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, th e donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement he quieted down. A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up. As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and happily trotted off! MORAL :
Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. 
The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. 
Each of our troubles is a steppingstone. 
We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up. 
Remember the five simple rules to be happy: 
1. Free your heart from hatred - Forgive. 
2. Free your mind from worries - Most never happens. 
3. Live simply and appreciate what you have. 
4. Give more. 
5. Expect less from people but more from yourself. You have two choices... smile and close this page, or pass this along to someone else to share the lesson .
