Don’t break a bird’s wings and then tell it to fly...



Don’t break a bird’s wings and then tell it to fly. Don’t break a heart and then tell it to love. Don’t break a soul and then tell it to be happy. Don’t see the worst in a person and expect them to see the best in you. Don’t judge people and expect them to stand by your side. Don’t play with fire and expect to stay perfectly safe.

Life is about giving and taking. You cannot expect to give bad and receive good. You cannot expect to give hate and receive love. So if you’re willing to see positive change in your life, you must be willing to be that change itself.

 — Najwa Zebian

You can't force loyalty or love


It's nothing wrong with wishing the best for somebody, but you have to realize when keeping them close isn't best for you. Unrealistic expectations attract disappointment. Realize that what you want from certain people may be more that they're able to give. Don't be naive. You can't force loyalty or love; and you'll only let yourself down trying to. Everybody won't always be who you want them to be. Accept the fact that you can't change certain things or people, regardless of how much you care.

So many people prefer to live in drama because it’s comfortable.


So many people prefer to live in drama because it’s comfortable. It’s like someone staying in a bad marriage or relationship – it’s actually easier to stay because they know what to expect every day, versus leaving and not knowing what to expect.–Ellen DeGeneres

Maybe the best thing to do is just stop trying to figure out where you're going, and just enjoy where you're at.


I usually don't like thinking about the future. I mean, let's face it, you can't predict what's gonna happen.. but sometimes, the thing you didn't expect is what you really wanted after all. Maybe the best thing to do is just stop trying to figure out where you're going, and just enjoy where you're at.

If you expect the world to be fair with you because you are fair, you're fooling yourself.

Giving without expectation leads to receiving without limitation.



How many times have you heard others say, or more likely heard yourself say, "I'm tired of giving. All I do is give to others and I get nothing in return." Well, the purpose of giving of ourselves, essentially sharing our gifts and talents with others is to open the door for them to do the same. However, when we give with strings attached, this closes the door. If you are bitter because your giving is not met with reciprocal giving, then you may wish to take a closer look at yourself rather than the recipient of your gifts. Because, it is my observation that giving without expectation leads to receiving without limitation. — Charles F. Glassman
