"Change your thoughts and you will change your world." - Norman Vincent Peale

"Change your thoughts and you will change your world." - Norman Vincent Peale

I think that this quote plays a huge role in life, especially to a younger crowd. Day by day people go through life making both big and small judgements on the people and things around them.

When you are judging everything that the world has to offer you are missing out on things that could be truely amazing. If you just look at something different, it could change your life.

If you look at a person and judge them by the way they look and what they are wearing, then you could be missing out on maybe being great friends with them. You may even be missing out on them sharing something with you that could change your entire life.

If you look at a journey you are planning to go on, and it looks to difficult so you don't go, you might have missed out on meeting someone special along the way, or even finding something that could change your life forever, but you would never know because you refused to go because it looked to difficult.

If you have an open mind about things then so much of your life could be different. You could have so many friends that you wouldn't of, you could have had so many more experiences and opportunities that you couldn't of, and you would be so much less quick to judge everything and everyone around you.

How come people in now a days are judged by the way they are dressed, where they live, how much money they have, or how big their house is? It's dumb.

Everyone should have an equal chance to fit in. If you changed the way you thought about things. then you could give yourself a much bigger view on life. Your world could be different if you let it.



A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step – Lao Tzu.

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step – Lao Tzu."

I think that this quote is a perfect quote to live by. It is all about determination and looking at the big picture to see that all of the little things add up to become one big thing. Every Persons life is a journey.

There are so many different people that go through life not knowing how to get started doing something that you really want to do. The key to it is, you have to start somewhere.

You have to give to get, and if you give an effort to get something you want, chances are you will succeed. You dont necciarily have to do huge things to accomplish something that you really want, instead take little babysteps and before you know it. you will have gotten so much further then you even noticed.

Why would you want to miss out on all of the little things shooting for something big, when you could accomplish both? You could take every day one step at a time, and at the end of your life you will look back and realize you took millions of steps to get to where you were.

You could look back having enjoyed your life, instead of looking back and wishing that you would have gotten to do something.

Everything you do requires you to start somewhere whether its getting out of bed or winning an olypmic medal. With both situations you have to make some kind of effort to be able to get to the next step to achieve the main goal in the first place.



Over all, everything that you want to achieve needs to start somewhere, and little steps can add up.

Try to be like the turtle, at ease in your own shell -Bill Copeland

Try to be like the turtle, at ease in your own shell. - Bill Copeland

There are a lot of different ways that you could look at this quote. If you were to break down this quote it would be saying, a turtle lives in a shell and it is perfectly comftorable living like that day by day.

Every turtle is different and looks different, but thats what makes them an individual and makes them THEM.

Being yourself is the best thing you can be because there is only one of you. Why would you want to be someone else when there is noone else that is the same as you?

I think that you should embrace the fact that you are one of a kind and express it in whatever way you feel comftorable. 

The people in this world can be cruel and make it hard to want to be your own person. Instead, everyone else is trying to be like everyone else and blend in but whats the point? what is the point of being like everyone else? Being a copy of someone around you is no where near as good as being you.

I feel that no matter what your appearance is, thick or thin, tall or short, pale or tan, black or white, it doesnt matter. You should feel as amazing about yourself as well as everyone else.



The most attractive thing a person can have is confidence, and if you are not comftorable in your own skin, and you dont act proud to be who you are, why should anyone else be proud of you and appreciate you?
