Serendipity...

Music is what feelings sound like.

To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.

Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.

It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return, but what is the most painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let the person know how you feel.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with theresults of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And mostimportant, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want tobecome. Everything else is secondary.

Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections.

Never allow someone to be your priority while allowing yourself to be their option.

If I never met you, I wouldn't like you. If I didn't like you, I wouldn't love you. If I didn't love you, I wouldn't missyou. But I did, I do, and I will.

What makes life worth living is knowing that one day you'll wake up and find the person that makes you happier thananything in the whole world. So don't ever lose hope and give up, everything turns out okay and the good guy alwayswins.

We all know, from what we experience with and within ourselves, that our conscious acts spring from our desires andour fears. Intuition tells us that that is true also of our fellows and of the higher animals. We all try to escape pain anddeath, while we seek what is pleasant. We are all ruled in what we do by impulses; and these impulses are soorganized that our actions in general serve for our self preservation and that of the race. Hunger, love, pain, fear aresome of those inner forces which rule the individual's instinct for self preservation. At the same time, as social beings,we are moved in the relations with our fellow beings by such feelings as sympathy, pride, hate, need for power, pity,and so on. All these primary impulses, not easily described in words, are the springs of man's actions. All such actionwould cease if those powerful elemental forces were to cease stirring within us. Though our conduct seems so verydifferent from that of the higher animals, the primary instincts are much alike in them and in us. The most evidentdifference springs from the important part which is played in man by a relatively strong power of imagination and bythe capacity to think, aided as it is by language and other symbolical devices. Thought is the organizing factor in man,intersected between the causal primary instincts and the resulting actions. In that way imagination and intelligenceenter into our existence in the part of servants of the primary instincts. But their intervention makes our acts to serveever less merely the immediate claims of our instincts.

Flatter me, and I may not believe you. Criticize me, and I may not like you. Ignore me, and I may not forgive you. Encourage me, and I will not forget you. Love me and I may be forced to love you.

Don't wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and lessthan perfect conditions. So what. Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, moreand more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful.

Stop acting as if life is a rehearsal. Live this day as if it were your last. The past is over and gone. The future is not guaranteed.

Life is change. Growth is optional. Choose wisely.

Do not brood over your past mistakes and failures as this will only fill your mind with grief, regret and depression. Do not repeat them in the future.

Wanting something is not enough. You must hunger for it. Your motivation must be absolutely compelling in order toovercome the obstacles that will invariably come your way.

Hold up... hold on... don't be scared. You'll never change what's been and gone. May your smile... Shine on... Don't be scared. Your destiny may keep you warm.

You can't cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water.

Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do.

I think people who can truly live a life in music are telling the world, "You can have my love, you can have mysmiles. Forget the bad parts, you don't need them. Just take the music, the goodness, because it's the very best, and it'sthe part I give."
