Maybe

From 12/08

The happiness of life is made up of minute
fractions—the little soon-forgotten charities of a kiss, a smile, a kind
look, a heartfelt compliment in the disguise of a playful raillery, and the
countless other infinitesimals of pleasurable thought and warm feeling.

You know you’re worn out when you speak with your
father whom you haven’t spoken to in several months and the first thing
he says is... “You sound just exhausted.”

Maybe… We were supposed to
meet the wrong people before meeting the Right one so that, when we finally meet
the right person, we will know How to be grateful for that gift.

Maybe… When the door of
happiness closes, another opens; but, often times, we look so long at the
closed door that we don't even see the new one which has been opened for us.

Maybe… It is true that we
don't know what we have until we lose it, but it is also true that we don't know
what we have been missing until it arrives.

Maybe… The brightest future
will always be based on a forgotten past; after all, you can't go on successfully
in life until you let go of your past mistakes, failures and heartaches.

Maybe… Giving someone all your
love is never an assurance that they will love you back. Don't expect love in
return; just wait for it to grow in their heart; but, if it doesn't, be content
that it grew in yours.
