You have power over your mind – not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.

Life is pure adventure, and the sooner we realize that, the quicker we will be able to treat life as art.

Of those beings who live in ignorance, shut up and confined, as it were, in an egg, I have first broken the eggshell of ignorance and alone in the universe obtained the most exalted, universal Buddhahood.

A heartbreak is a blessing from God. It’s just His way of letting you realize that He saved you from the wrong one.

Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.

He was gone, and I did not have time to tell him what I had just now realized: that I forgave him, and that she

Get excited about this new chapter of your life and believe in yourself because you are much stronger than you realize.

It is always important to know when something has reached its end. Closing circles, shutting doors, finishing chapters, it doesn’t matter what we call it;

And then she realized that a fresh start was hers for the taking, that she could be the woman she’s always seen on the distant horizon – her future self. One step at a time. Starting today.

There comes a moment when you realize that there are no more chapters left in the book of your (current) life and it’s time to

Letting go means to come to the realization that some people are a part of your history, but not a part of your destiny.

I realized that her life
her feelings for things
had been ruined
along the way
and that I was no more than a
temporary
companion.

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.

It’s times like this… That I realize… How much pain these people live with… Having been born possessed by vengeful spirits.

Listen, Shigure, I believe I know how you feel about her. I realize you that probably hate me, but –.

Worry springs from not being convinced of a sovereign God’s absolute love for you. Worry disappears when you realize that God loves you unfailingly and will let nothing interrupt His plans for your good.

When you realize that you are deeply loved by God, it enables you to love deeply.

I didn’t want to fall in love, not at all, but at some point you smiled and I totally blew it.

We as African Americans knew that if we wanted to see change, we had to step up to the plate and make that change ourselves. Not everyone comes to that realization in their lives, but thank God Linda Brown’s father felt that way.

It dawns on you one day… how precious your life is and how not okay it is for anyone, ever, to cause you any amount of suffering, ever. Then the next time you step out the door you look at everyone and you’re thinking, “My life is precious and you’re not allowed to hurt me.

It’s never too late to realize your ambitions. Take the first step by daring to dream big dreams. Then have the confidence to take a few risks and make those dreams a reality. You’ll be glad you did.

Last night I dreamed I had insomnia. I woke up exhausted, yet too well rested to go back to sleep.

I believe in every dream of yours, and believe that the Almighty God will help you realize each and every single one of these dreams. I really can’t wait to see all your dreams actualized. Good morning, and have a very blissful day.

what she doesn’t realize is
that – usually – only boring people
get bored.

And you’ll cry out my name you’ll finally know what you should have known So very long ago.

I’m not rushing, I’m realizing. I’ve been chasing after Alaska and maybe this whole time the girl I was supposed to be with was right in front of me. Maybe everything that’s happened has lead me to this moment, to this dance.

life itself is not the miracle.
that pain should be so constant,
that’s the miracle.

I realized that I am capable of loving after I met you. I realized that I can be happy after I met you and I also realized that I have a heart after I met you. Wake up to a world full of love my love! And have a good day at work!!!

I finally realized this, I need you more than I thought.

If I could give you one thing in life, I would give you the ability to see yourself through my eyes, only then will you realize how special you are to me.

And then my soul saw you and it kind of went “Oh, there you are, I’ve been looking all over for you.”

Do you even realize how amazing you are to me?

Sometimes I catch myself with a silly grin on my face, but then I realize you came across my mind again.

Time passes and you begin to see, people for who they really are and not who they pretend to be.

“Well, my gut wants to know,” Lara said, and only then did I realize […] — I may have kissed her, but I really didn’t have a monopoly on Alaska; the Colonel and I weren’t the only ones who cared about her, and weren’t alone in trying to figure out how she died and why.

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.

And that’s when I know it’s over. As soon as you start thinking about the beginning, it’s the end.

Except that it was no more home, just the place where he had grown up, and that first day back, touring the once familiar places only made him realize that he had already lived close to half his life.

Sometimes you don’t realize your own strength until you come face to face with your greatest weakness.

It was a sickness: this great interest in a medium that relentlessly and consistently failed, time after time after time, to produce anything at all. People became so used to seeing shit on film that they no longer realized it was shit.

A weak man becomes strong when he realizes he has nothing left to lose.

I would say that God is much bigger than all of this. I’ve been through difficult times where it just seems like hope is nowhere to be found, but those are some of the greater moments where we run to Christ a little faster and hang on a little tighter. Through the hardest times in life, I hope people turn to him and realize he’s still a sovereign God; he’s in control.

It’s elevating and humbling at the same time. Running along a beach at sunrise with no other footprints in the sand, you realize the vastness of creation, your own insignificant space in the plan, how tiny you really are, your own creatureliness and how much you owe to the supreme body, the God that brought all this beauty and harmony into being.

Sometimes we need to get over ourselves and actually realize that sometimes, God has a better plan. God’s ways are higher than ours.

All the adversity I’ve had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me… You may not realize it when it happens, but

Regardless of what your present financial position may be, realize that you can have money, all you want, but you must earn it.

Realizing the power that I have in my words and my actions, they really hurt people. It’s a sad world when people look at such a great person and you place your fears and traumas on others because of what you’ve been through. Everybody has not walked the same life that I have. Taking accountability is saying, ‘What can I do to make myself better?

Your body is the instrument of your mind. Start paying attention to what your body is doing, where it’s going, and realize the mind operates on two different levels, on a conscious level and a subconscious level.

When I realized I would no longer be able to fly in that sky, I was both anguished and relieved. I finally felt like I had become a “human being.”

Your plans are fine, as long as you realize God has the right to change them.

Few people today realize just how much faith in oneself (that part of oneself which is spiritual, perfect) has to do with achievement, because the great majority of people never seem to conceive of faith as being a genuine creative force. Yet the truth is that not only is Faith a bona fide power, but it is the greatest one we will ever encounter.

Sometimes you have to let people bump their heads to realize that they are not making sense. Don’t try to figure them out or it will drive you crazy.

I then realized that it wasn’t Mardi Gras or college, it was about me going to school there. I wasn’t mad at the boy because he said his mother said not to play with me because I was a nigger. ‘If my mother said not to play with him because he was another race, I wouldn’t.’

We got off at the next exit, quietly, and, switching drivers, we walked in front of the car. We met and I held him, my hands balled into tight fists around his shoulders, and he wrapped his short arms around me and squeezed tight, so that I felt the heaves of his chest as we realized over and over again that we were still alive. I realized it in waves and we held on to each other crying and I thought, ‘God we must look so lame,’ but it doesn’t matter when you have just now realized, all the time later, that you are still alive.

How you respond to the enemy of your soul determines whether his plan for your life or God’s plan for your life is realized.

It’s my luck that every time I feel I completely comprehend God’s plan, I don’t have a pencil with me.

It’s incredible to realize that what we do each day has meaning in the big picture of God’s plan.

It always shocked me when I realized that I wasn’t the only person in the world who thought and felt such strange and awful things.

Kevin Copeland: Forget him, Marcus. We can do this ourselves. Look, all we gotta do is–is–is…
Marcus Copeland: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. “We?” Kevin, this ain’t about “we.” It’s never been. It’s about you. You come up with some stupid idea and I’m dumb enough to go along with it. And look where it’s gotten me, Kevin. I just lost my wife and my job because of you. So don’t tell me about “we” no more, all right?

During last night’s insomnia, as these thoughts came and went between my aching temples, I realised once again, what I had almost forgotten in this recent period of relative calm, that I tread a terribly tenuous, indeed almost non-existent soil spread over a pit full of shadows, whence the powers of darkness emerge at will to destroy my life…

Nothing cures insomnia like the realization that it’s time to get up.

Closure is only a fairytale, a myth, a legend. The only true closure can come from within…this is a type of love story where the happy ending lies in not finding Prince Charming. Rather, it lies in the realization that he never existed at all.

I realize that not everyone could be granted the chance of getting a decent closure – most people just deal with the decisions they made then on their own.

I have to not take myself too seriously and I have to realise that if it is meant to be, it will be.

I came to the realisation, rather late in the day, that whatever your body’s meant to be, it will figure itself out.

I have come to a point where I have accepted that not everyone is meant to be friends.
