Some say that distance makes the heart grow fonder, but this is a slight misstatement. The fondness has always been there. It is the absence of the people we care about which makes us realize how much we care for them, not distance that produces such feelings.

In times of doubt, remember that you so have courage in your soul — even when it is hard to find. You have the ability to empower yourself, and by doing so you can inspire others. Take a breath. Believe in yourself. Know that your potential is great. You are a star.

Since the time of cave art to oral traditions, storytelling has long been a vital part of the human experience. Today we have books and TV shows, and oral tradition lives on. Do not be afraid of telling your story. Your voice matters.

Why are superhero poses so cool? Well, it’s because of how powerful they are. A head held high and arms in the air scream confidence and bravery. If ever you need a boost in courage, strike a superhero pose for a hot minute!

While your perfect soulmate may be out there, remember that they are far from perfect. They have all sorts of human flaws and quirks, just like you. What makes them your soulmate is that you will be willing to work towards making your relationship work — regardless of whether it is a friendship or timeless romance — because you can’t imagine your life without them.

Anticipating the future, trying to determine what needs to be done and how to do it, can be extremely overwhelming. You may feel like you’re drowning when you try to take it all on at once.

Failure has become such a negative word in our society. We fear it and are embarrassed by it. Yet, everyone has failed at some point in their lives. Instead of being ashamed of failure, when we learn and grow from it, we never truly fail — we evolve and become even better.

Dream big or dream small. The size of the dream doesn’t matter so long as you keep dreaming. Some dreams may simmer out as you grown and change — while others are certain to be achieved, and both outcomes are okay. After all, the outcome isn’t always the most important part, but rather the journey to achieve it is. Keep dreaming, and chase them all!

Love songs and music about heartbreak have always been chart toppers. It makes sense, because love is an incredibly strong human condition that connects us all. Similarly, broken hearts have ached in every human’s chest, and this pain produces a sense of camaraderie amongst us. Thankfully, there will always be music, rhythm, words or pictures to help soothe your soul and share in this great choir we call humanity.

Learn from your past, stand up in the present, and rise to your future. The only thing we truly own is this moment we have — right now. This is your story, so tell it your way.

Sometimes, we can get so caught up in own stories that we forget the people around us may also also struggling with their doubts, fears and pain. Hurting is part of being human, but so is helping. We often forget the power of a simple touch, smile, or kind word. The smallest act of kindness can turn an entire life around.
