    There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to reach for them from your dreams and hug them! Dream what you want to dream, go where you want to go and be what you want to be, because you have only one life to do all the things you want to do.

    Maybe you have enough happiness to make you lovely and sweet, enough trials and failures to make you strong, enough sorrows to make you suffer and enough hope to make you happy.

    Always put yourself in others’ shoes. If you feel something hurts you, it probably hurts another person, too.

    Happiness eventually comes for those who have cried, those who have been hurt, those who have sought it and those who have tried. Only these people can appreciate the happiness they have got.

    Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear. The brightest future will always be based on what you have experienced, struggled for and worked hard for. You can’t succeed until you have experienced your failures and heartaches.

    When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling.

    Now, live your life so that when you die, you will be the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.

    Please send this message to those people who mean something to you, to those who have touched your life in one way or another, to those who have made you smile when you really need it, to those who have made you see the brighter side of things when you are really down, to those who you want to let them know that you appreciate their friendship.

    If you don’t, don’t worry. Nothing bad will happen to you.

    You will just miss an opportunity to brighten others’ day with this message.
