Just like an arrow that needs to be pulled backward just to go forward, you need to experience a few setbacks to be able to move forward. When life is pulling you back because of so many problems, it’s a sign that you’re going towards something amazing. Stay focused and work on your aim.

You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.’ You must do the thing you think you cannot do.

There are great things at the peak of every mountain. When God allows you to go through a mountain, He wants you to experience greatness at the summit.

No matter what you are facing, God has it all under control.

Life is tough, and we all go through it. It’s okay to feel down or sad, but don’t let these emotions control you. Keep your head up and be proud of who you are.

Throughout life, the ups and downs experienced must never cause you to avoid keeping your head up so you can see beyond adversity.

This is for anyone who has been through a hard time, who’s experiencing it, and who has survived it. Keep your head up, be blessed, and stay positive.

Just remember, once you’re over the hill you begin to pick up speed.

I knew I could do it this time, because I’d already done it. Does that make sense?

Aging is not lost youth but a new stage of opportunity and strength.

You have to die a few times before you can really live.

Well, I don’t know about you but I’m going to try everything! War, women, travel, marriage, children, the works. […]. I want to know about things, what makes them work!

No point in staying somewhere you feel unhappy and unfulfilled. Sure, it’s easier said than done to pack up and leave when you don’t know where you’re going, but ultimately, that sense of adventure will lead to personal growth, which is never wrong.

Never skip the Jeep if you are willing to find an adventure in an unknown land.

Water is taught by thirst;
Land, by the oceans passed;
Transport, by throe;
Peace, by its battles told;
Love, by memorial mould;
Birds, by the snow.

You never know what life is like, until you have lived it.

Pain is strange. A cat killing a bird, a car accident, a fire…. Pain arrives, BANG, and there it is, it sits on you. It’s

A man who carries a cat by the tail learns something he can learn in no other way.

He doesn’t regret what life has been.

Life has knocked me down a few times, it showed me things I never wanted to see. I experienced sadness and failures. But one thing

Getting over a painful experience is much like crossing monkey bars. You have to let go at some point in order to move forward.

Life’s good, you should get one.

We’ve had the opportunity to experience God’s beautiful creation? The sunrise, sunset, mountains, canyons and the beauty of things we didn’t see before.

When you’re ready to take another chance in love, remember that meeting someone new can open up new doors for you because it forces you to look outside your comfort zone and branch out socially.

A fresh start is an opportunity to restart your experiences with your current wisdom. Keep moving forward and don’t repeat your mistakes.

Use what you’ve been through as fuel, believe in yourself and be unstoppable!

We do not know what other people are going through and we should be thankful for our lives and always keep our heads up and

Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen.

I’d decided the campus was just a place to hide. There were some campus freaks who stayed on forever. The whole college scene was soft. They never told you what to expect out there in the real world. They just crammed you with theory and never told you how hard the pavements were. A college education could destroy an individual for life. Books could make you soft. When you put them down, and really went out there, then you needed to know what they never told you.

I’ve never been this free before…but I’ve also never been this lonely before.

However, I can’t be happy. I feel I can’t have that experience, I can’t assume I will have that experience. I’m free, but feeling lonely

Truck driving is what you make of it. It can be lonely, especially if you drive alone.

Disneyland is a work of love. We didn’t go into Disneyland just with the idea of making money.

Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

Shigure Sohma: Lemme guess; you lost your temper and yelled at her again, right? You know, you shouldn’t do that if you’re just going to

There’s no ‘wax on wax off’ with drifting. You learn by doing it. The first drifters invented drifting out here in the mountains by feeling it. So feel it.

If the work of our sanctification presents us with difficulties that appear insurmountable, it is because we do not look at it in the right way. In reality, holiness consists in one thing alone, namely, fidelity to God’s plan. And this fidelity is equally within everyone’s capacity in both its active and passive exercise.

Be among good people. They make it easier for you to keep your head up when you’re experiencing tough times of your own.

My passion for you is intoxicating. But I’d rather be burned with desire for you rather than live my life without experiencing these awesome emotions.

I believe in God not because my parents told me, not because the church told me, but because I’ve experienced His goodness and mercy myself.

Chief of Police Alemeida: Is all this really necessary to apprehend two men?
Hobbs: Let me tell you a little something about these two men. One’s a former federal officer, been in deep cover for five years. He knows every way you’re gonna come for him. The other one’s a professional criminal, escaped prison twice, spent half his life on the run avoiding folks like you.
Chief of Police Alemeida: Well, if there’s anything we can do to help the DSS…
Hobbs: Two things. One: I need a translator.
Chief of Police Alemeida: Claro, we have plenty in the public relations department.
Hobbs: Elena Neves.
Chief of Police Alemeida: A patrol officer?
Hobbs: You heard me.
Chief of Police Alemeida: But why? We have many more experienced people.
Hobbs: I like her smile.
Chief of Police Alemeida: What’s the second thing?
Hobbs: Stay the fuck out of my way!

May your life experience a beautiful start today, just as you wished for a beautiful day in your heart, may the Lord bless you more than you have asked for, good morning.

Rastafari not a culture, it’s a reality.

Hope you fall asleep and dream of the most wonderful things, only to wake up and find them real. Good night.

Even if you’ve never experienced the wonderful things in life, only after something has been contaminated and marred will it become a beautiful thing. Pain can be healed with gentle care, darkness can be removed with sunlight. Don’t underestimate the small things. Everything is significant.

The life I’ve been exposed to has let me know what step to take and how not to go back a step. I take life one day at a time, and I prepare myself for each one of those days.

Living too long takes more than time.

Memory

I’ve memorized all the fish in the sea
I’ve memorized each opportunity strangled
and
I remember awakening one morning
and finding everything smeared with the color of
forgotten love
and I’ve memorized
that too.

I’ve memorized green rooms in
St. Louis and New Orleans
where I wept because I knew that by myself I
could not overcome
the terror of them and it.

I’ve memorized all the unfaithful years
(and the faithful ones too)
I’ve memorized each cigarette that I’ve rolled.
I’ve memorized Beethoven and New York City
I’ve memorized
riding up escalators, I’ve memorized
Chicago and cottage cheese, and the mouths of
some of the ladies and the legs of
some of the ladies
I’ve known
and the way the rain came down hard.
I’ve memorized the face of my father in his coffin,
I’ve memorized all the cars I have driven
and each of their sad deaths,
I’ve memorized each jail cell,
the face of each new president
and the faces of some of the assassins;
I’ve even memorized the arguments I’ve had with
some of the women
I’ve loved.

best of all
I’ve memorized tonight and now and the way the
light falls across my fingers,
specks and smears on the wall,
shades down behind orange curtains;
I light a rolled cigarette and then laugh a little,
yes, I’ve memorized it all.

the courage of my memory.

To experience real agony is something hard to write about, impossible to understand while it grips you; you’re frightened out of your wits, can’t sit still, move, or even go decently insane.

Mousa: Well, I do not know who you really are. But by the way you look, I can see you have no experience in war, do you? C’mon, do you?
Rambo: I’ve fired a few shots.
Mousa: A few shots? Come on! Maybe you should go back home and think it all over again. For a very long time!
Rambo: I did think it over.
Mousa: You did? Well… This is your choice. But let me tell you, you cannot get this American alone. If you fail, do not blame me. I will accept no responsibility.
Rambo: Sounds familiar…

Janeway Smithson had been on the job for twenty-five years and was dumb enough to be proud of it.

Repeat the good. And the bad. Do it all…and pile on the years.

Somewhere between all our laughs, long talks, stupid little fights, and all our jokes, I fell in love.

God knew that not all lessons are taught in the classroom. Hence, He allows life to teach us some extraordinary lessons.

Everything I’ve never done, I want to do with you.

Beginnings are usually scary and endings are usually sad, but it’s everything in between that makes it all worth living.

If life was a book; every day would be a new page, every month would be a new chapter, and every year would be a new series.

Maybe life isn’t about avoiding the bruises. Maybe it’s about collecting the scars to prove we showed up for it.

No amount of reading or memorizing will make you successful in life. It is the understanding and application of wise thought that counts.

When you experience the power of staying in your own lane you will never want to come out of it again. Know yourself, know your worth.

The Colonel gave an obligatory laugh, then asked, “Want a smoke?” I had never smoked a cigarette, but when in Rome…

“Is it safe here?”

In a strange way, becoming a grandfather is like starting your life over.

People only talk about what a joyous experience it is, but there is terror: Your life, as you know it, is over. It’s over the day that child is born. It’s over, and something completely new starts.

There is a stillness in all of us that is really the essence of who we are. A stillness and a silence that doesn’t move, that doesn’t go anywhere and our task is to experience that while being in time.

Wishing you the best as you wake from bed today, I pray that your life experiences a big push today.

Sending you a good morning message in the wake of the day and hoping it’s not the only GOOD you see today.

My dear, something wonderful is going to happen to you today, and you are going to make that your reality! Good Morning to you!

If we understand the momentary nature of realization, then each moment becomes a great opportunity for us. It is the opportunity for practice, for realization. Each moment is precious, because we have the opportunity to start fresh and to see, nakedly, the dharmakaya once again and experience a moment of enlightenment.

Dom: You drive like you’ve done this before. What are you, a wheelman?
Brian: No.
Dom: Boost cars?
Brian: No, never.
Dom: Do time?
Brian: Couple of overnighters. No big deal.
Dom: What about those two years you did in juvie for boosting cars? Tucson, right? I had Jesse run a little background check on you, Mr. Brian Earl Spilner. He can find anything on the web, anything about anyone. So, why bullshit?
Brian: So what about you?
Dom: Two years in Lompoc. I’ll die before I go back.

Writing is also my cat. Writing lets me face it.

If I write badly about blacks, homosexuals and women, it is because of these who I met were that. There are many ‘bads’ – bad dogs, bad censorship; there are even ‘bad’ white males. Only, when you write about ‘bad’ white males, they don’t complain about it. And need I say that there are ‘good’ blacks, ‘good’ homosexuals and ‘good’ women?

Enjoy new things for the very first time in your lives.

Step into my shoes and walk the life I’m living and if you get as far as I am, just maybe you will see how strong I really am.

With each new experience of letting God be in control, we gain courage and reinforcement for daring to do it again and again.

If you are experiencing confusion, pain, and suffering, it may be that God is working things out for you in his own way. It is most often the sovereign work of our God unfolding a master plan known only to him.

Don’t be afraid to start over. This time you’re not starting from scratch, you’re starting from experience.

The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each new day to have a new and different sun….

Don’t settle down and sit in one place. Move around, be nomadic, make each day a new horizon.

As a truck driver, you always want to be in the car getting as much experience as possible; especially when there is something new like tires.

I’ve had my eyes opened to so many things. But still, all I really want to do is my truck job. It’s like an ingrained, default setting.

Truck driving is a lifestyle, not a job.

You have come a long way and your experiences have taught you so much. Use this knowledge to start over and build the life that you have always dreamed of.

I feel like the youth lack guidance. And being that they lack guidance I saw a lot of individuals that were children when I left, I saw them spiral downhill. And that’s what made me have something called the ‘Achievement Academy.’ We go around talking to young people. We go around to different high schools and I share with them past experiences. We talk about choices and we talk about decision-making. (…) So if I talk to a thousand people and only one hundred people get the message, I did something, I accomplished something.

Good decision making comes from having made bad decisions. Everything I’ve been through in my life, whether it be fortunate or unfortunate I still get the wealth of experience.

In 7th grade, I believe, I wrote my first rap song. It was about everything I was seeing, everything that was going on around me.

What I see, what I went through, what a friend of mine may have gone through, whatever – I rap about it.

The worst insomnia I have experienced in life occurred during using a CPAP machine.

Disconnecting from one you love can be a lonely ordeal. The feelings you will experience will change you.

I now know that experience comes to us for a purpose, and if we follow the guidance of the spirit within us, we will probably find that the purpose is a good one.

I wanted to use my experience to teach kids that racism has no place in hearts and minds.

Where the ride is a journey.

I experience great hurt, this hurt allows me to know I’m alive.

Prison was the best thing that ever happened to me.

The ultimate road trip experience.

The truck driver experience.

The ultimate truck driving experience.

I’m a truck driver with big road experience.

Like travel, insomnia is an uprooting experience. You are torn out of sleep like a plant from its native soil, then shaken down so that any clinging vestige of slumber falls away, naked confusion exposed like nerve endings. Sleep, in its turn, is a matter of gravity. It pulls you down, beds you in the earth, burrows you in. In sleep you connect back to the bedrock that provides nourishment and restorative rest.

You are where God wants you to be at this very moment. Every experience is part of His divine plan.

We are meant to keep focused for new life, for new beginnings, for new experiences, and to use our abilities to move beyond all those things that may serve as excuses to confine us to the now.

If there are no endings, there are no beginnings and you see no new lands, so for everything that’s lost, there is usually something gained.

Truck driving is a way of life.

And I am just one of many who repurposed their lives after they heard about the plan God had for them and as they experienced how God moved in another person’s life and purpose.

Then Night came down like the feathery soot of a smoky lamp, and smutted first the bedquilt, then the hearth-rug, then the window-seat, and then at last the great, stormy, faraway outside world. But sleep did not come. Oh, no! Nothing new came at all except that particularly wretched, itching type of insomnia which seems to rip away from one’s body the whole kind, protecting skin and expose all the raw, ticklish fretwork of nerves to the mercy of a gritty blanket or a wrinkled sheet. Pain came too, in its most brutally high night-tide; and sweat, like the smother of furs in summer; and thirst like the scrape of hot sand-paper; and chill like the clammy horror of raw fish.

Trautman: You’re going to die, Teasle.
Teasle: Everybody dies.

Most people do not consider dawn to be an attractive experience—unless they are still up.

Sacred souls experience sleepless nights. It is enormous strength for specific sacred work.

Del: You believe this?
Neal: It’s been a hell of a trip.
Del: Sure has.
Neal: But, uh, after all is said and done, you did get me home.
Del: Next time, let’s go first class, all right?
Neal: God, I hope there isn’t a next time.
Del: I know what you mean! I really do. This you?
Neal: Yeah.
Del: It’s been great meeting you, Neal, it really has. Again, I’m sorry if I caused you any trouble.
Neal: Oh, no, you didn’t cause me any trouble. You got me home, and, uh… a little late.
Del: A couple days.
Neal: But, uh… I’m a little wiser, too.
Del: Me, too.
Neal: Happy holidays.
Del: Same to you. Happy Thanksgiving, Neal. Give my love to the family, will you? Maybe I’ll get a chance to meet ’em one day.
Neal: Say hello to Marie for me. I feel like I know her.
Del: Yeah.
Neal: So… okay. And, uh, you have a happy Thanksgiving.
Del: Hey, you know it.
Neal: So long.

There are endless ways to experience happiness when you are blessed by the Lord. Have a blessed morning.

Sophie’s experience told her that tantrums are seldom about the thing they appear to be about.

“Really, these wizards! You’d think no one had ever had a cold before! Well, what is it?” she asked, hobbling through the bedroom door onto the filthy carpet.
“I’m dying of boredom,” Howl said pathetically. “Or maybe just dying.”

Haircuts. Shaves. More than a barbershop, and less than a bistro. We combine the best of both to give you the ultimate grooming experience.

You are the perfect creation of God. Don’t allow you to be down. God is experiencing through you.

God left the world unfinished; the pictures unpainted, the songs unsung, and the problems unsolved, that man might know the joys of creation.

Speak and live in simple sentences. Bring closure — put a period to — those experiences that you don’t want to carry on forever and ever. Use commas in those places where you’re still growing… and use exclamation points at the end of every lesson.

Your experiences are what made you what you are today. So when tragedy happens in people’s lives, and things are left unsaid, it can be very unsettling. The lack of closure can linger.

…closure, that impossible thing that no one had ever experienced in life, because there always seemed to be a little aperture, a slit of light.

Don’t get all excited, dude. 3D is gay. Nobody wants to sit on a couch, wearing glasses, popping bubbles out of the air like some sorta f**ked up Ray Charles. Oh, you like 3D? Well here’s a burrito, coming right at ya!

Whatever has befallen you was not meant to escape you, and whatever has escaped you was not meant to befall you.

Nothing exists without a purpose. Every experience you have in this lifetime was written for you to grow into the light you were meant to become.

Because I am an Englishman I spent most of my life in a state of embarrassment.

The most kickass ride worldwide, new or old. It is not a car, not a truck. It’s a Jeep!

Don’t follow me. You won’t make it.

Some stories are meant to be experienced by everyone and language and culture are no bar.
