1. "If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door " Milton Berle
We shouldn’t just wait for things to come to us, we can meet it halfway sometimes. Without building that door, you're blocking your blessings.
2. "When Life gives you lemons, make orange juicxe and leave them wondering how ypu did it. " Mitch Griego
Being creative will do wonders for you. People always try to get their hands on good ideas and make it their own, when you add your own twist to things it’s harder for them to claim what's rightfully yours.
3. "The ancestors already bought and paid for our crown, all we have to do is wear it. " James Baldwin
Our ancestors have been through so much, just for us to give up at any small defeat. They paved the way for us, we have to stop throwing dirt back over those paths out of fear.
4. "Your time is limited, don’t spend it living someone else's life. Don’t be trapped by dogma. " Steve Jobs
Over these last couple covid years, I gave up hope, I wanted to quit, I felt like I was living for other people. My grades weren’t for me, but to keep others happy. Playing basketball was not because of the love I got for the game, but because I was told I was needed. You just have to live to make yourself happy.
5. "Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier." Mother Teresa
I've seen peoples' who day change from a simple hello. You never know how a person is feeling until they tell you, simple acts of kindness can save someone’s life.
