Moving thoughts

When the door of happiness closes, another opens. But often times, we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.

It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we have been missing until it arrives.

Don't go for looks, they can deceive. Don't go for wealth, even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seems bright. Find the one who makes your heart smile.

Always put yourself in other's shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person too.

When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your live so that when you die, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.

The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along the way.

Never take someone for granted. Hold that person close to your heart because you might wake up one day and realize that you have lost a diamond while you were too busy collecting stones.

I know it's a collection of quotes but it's still one of the best post so far.

How was your back-to-jungle trip? All renewed and recharged?

whereever you got this, whatever it is, it is well said.

but, what if the one who used to put a smile to your heart has turned into the one who crushed your heart? do we close this door and move on?

AM,

Glad you like it :)

Manal,

Yup, my boss forwarded it to me, seeing how stress I am at work!

Coolasais,

Maybe so. But don't you think that sometimes you're just pretending to be shallow to be cool?

ardy said...

Hazyr,

Oh yes, I'm always recharged after such good trip.

Guile,

I believe we do. There's no point hanging on at the door when there's no one there anymore.

RD,
what if, as you about to move on, the previous door reopens? what would you do?

ardy said...

Guile,

If the door can still bring a smile to your heart, then you should embrace it.

with all the hot & sexy ladies out there, u can never stay 'deep' long enough!

'Tell me where’d you get your body from?'
'I got it from my mama.'
