Thought for Thursday: The Way I See It

In honor of Throwback Thursday and the first day of Starbucks' Frappuccino Happy Hour, I'm bringing back a favorite quote that I once found on my very own cup...

Years and years ago, I purchased a Caramel Macchiato from Starbucks. Not only did I enjoy the delectable warm content inside of the cup, I indulged in the wise words on the outside of the cup. Believe it or not, it actually helped me through the times of doubt. And to this day, I still have that exact cup sitting on a shelf in my room! It reminds me that even when people do not invest their time into you, it doesn't mean you shouldn't invest your time into yourself. Because in the end, you are worth it.

Thought for Thursday: It's Never Too Late To ________.

We all make mistakes. It's pretty much inevitable seeing that we are all human. But what we all must do is learn from those mistakes, those choices - we need to realize that it's never too late to fix a mistake, to say I'm sorry, to make that phone call or even to change what we want to do. Know that life doesn't stop for us. We aren't obligated to follow one strict path. Why? Because life is a tricky little thing! Without us even realizing, a new obstacle, challenge, opportunity or deviation might be thrown in our paths. So in the end, always remember that simply: It's never too late.

Thought for Thursday: What Do You Crave?

A craving is a hard thing to resist. Whether it's the company of someone we love, happiness, freedom or peace of mind - it comes to us naturally. We can try to fight the feeling all we want but it won't call it quits that easily. So like I've been saying, INDULGE. However, when it comes to the craving of emotions, feelings and the need to belong to someone, the only way to get it is to give it. It isn't a one way street, it's a two way street that will leave both parties smiling and delighted in the end.

If you want to find love, give love.

If you want to be happy, make someone happy.

If you want to experience freedom, let others break free.

If you want to find peace of mind, help others relieve their stress.

And if you want to satisfy a craving, indulge -- as long as it brings you no harm.
