People are capable, at any time in their lives, of doing what they dream of.
Paulo Coelho (The Alchemist) (via kari-shma)
Be
You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.
Albert Camus (via kari-shma)
The best way to make your dreams come true is to wake up.
Paul Valéry (via tylerknott) (via kari-shma) (via present) (via aestheticthoughts)
Be as you wish to seem.

Things are as they are. Looking out into it the universe at night, we make no comparisons between right and wrong stars, nor between well and badly arranged constellations.
Alan Watts (via poortaste) (via fuckyeahzenmind) (via crashinglybeautiful)
Living is like tearing through a museum. Not until later do you really start absorbing what you saw, thinking about it, looking it up in a book, and remembering - because you can’t take it in all at once.
Audrey Hepburn (via billyjane) (via liquidnight)
If you want to be happy, be.
Leo Tolstoy (via ailesgrises)
In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: it goes on.
Robert Frost (via nihilnoetia)
âââ (via inthefuturewedies)
The secret of happiness is this: let your interests be as wide as possible, and let your reactions to the things and persons that interest you be as far as possible friendly rather than hostile.
Bertrand Russell (via nihilnoetia)
One day your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure its worth watching.

“There is power in a single cup of coffee. Books can take you places nothing else can. Movies and music can make you feel the things books describe. Never underestimate the beauty of a summer night. Dedication and perseverance are two things people never expect and are always amazed by. Hair ties are more useful than they should be. Change is constant, but the most powerful changes and moments all happen at once. Most of life is the in between and preparation to those defining moments. The best writers don’t follow the rules and love their characters like they love their children. People will always try to make you something you’re not, and most listen. Most also live with their eyes closed. You can’t help everyone. Being happy is way easier than it seems: just smile, everyday. Music helps, too. Dancing makes you brave, people don’t dance enough. Most importantly, life is beautiful. The rest, well, I’m still trying to figure that out.”

Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.
Howard Thurman (via afteritwego)
What we think, we become.
