Some thoughts

 
 A dear friend send these thoughts.  Wanted to share them.
 
 1. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting
     the right one so that when we finally meet the right person,
     we will know how to be grateful for that gift.
 
 2. Love is when you take away the feeling, the passion, and the
     romance in a relationship, and find out you still care for
     that person.
 
 3. When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but oftentimes
     we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one
     which has been opened for us.
 
 4. The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and
     swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like
     it was the best conversation you've ever had.
 
 5. It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but
    it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing
    until it arrives.
 
 6. There are things you'd love to hear that you would never hear
     from the person whom you would like to hear them from, but
     don't be so deaf as not to hear it from the one who says it
     from his heart.
 
 7. Don't go for looks; they can deceive.  Don't go for wealth; even
     that fades away.  Go for someone who makes you smile because
     it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.
 
 8. Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what
     you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance
     to do all the things you want to do.
 
 9. The best and most beautiful things in this world can neither be
     seen nor touched, but can be felt with the heart.
 
 10.  Always put yourself in others' shoes.  If you feel that it hurts
       you, it probably hurts the person, too.  Don't be so quick to
       judge.
 
 11.  A careless word may kindle strife; a cruel word may wreck a
       life; a timely word may level stress; a loving word may heal and
       bless.
 
 12. The beginning of love is to let those we love be just
       themselves, and not twist them with our own image -
       otherwise, we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in
 them.
 
 13. The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of
       everything; they just make the most of everything that comes
       along their way.
 
 14. Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who
       have searched, and those who have tried, for only they can
       appreciate the importance of people who have touched their
       lives.
 
 15. When you were born, you were crying and everyone around
       you was smiling.  Live your life so that when you die, you're
       the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.
 
 16. May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough
       trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human,
       and enough hope to make you happy.
 
       Keep the faith.
