There are some people meet just in the end and they make each others last few days that last the best of their lives. \~ Meile Melli I met my husband when I was 16, and sadly lost him when he was 68\. Married for 4 weeks short of 49 years. We loved each other all those years. Wonderful! \~ Eileen Gillard ### Don't worry about the people in your past URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/dont-worry-about-the-people-in-your-past/ Last updated: 2026-03-28T00:30:08.000Z You meet everyone for a special reason. Some are here to help you growing up, some others are here to teach you life lessons. In both ways, everyone you meet, good or bad, shape who you are today. Be Thankful for the good experiences but especially the bad ones, cause they are the ones who make you stronger and better. \~ Justine Jackson Life is a learning process. As you go along, you loose some & you win some. Only the ones who's worthy of you will stay. We are constantly expanding and evolving, we lose people as we change and grow, and we can also gain new people in our lives as well. They always show you what is still vibrating inside of you or they awaken something in you as well. \~ Nikka Rose We meet people who are there to teach us lessons & to become strong & wise. Sometimes we learn things through the suffering of being with someone. If a love comes to an end, it was never true love in the first place. Sometimes we keep people in our lives who cause us pain and insecurity. We reach a point when it becomes easy to let them go. We realize the truth and move away and move on. \~ Cathy Tovey ### Telling the truth & making someone cry URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/telling-the-truth-making-someone-cry/ Last updated: 2026-03-26T00:30:06.000Z **Making it worse when you know the person is lying and they think they're fooling you. \~ Arlene Coyle** **Everyone deserves the truth. The lies hurt ten times more and prevent growth.** Sometimes it's better to be silent. To speak a truth just for the sole purpose of being right, maybe the wrong reason to speak it and the truth as you see it may not necessarily be that person's truth as they see it. Nor would they be receptive to it through the haze of hurt engendered by this truth. There may be unavoidable situations where things must be said, but truly, there are times when it's better to be happy than to be right. \~ Carla Dabney Better tell the truth than to give false hope to someone. ### You deserve the kind of love you would give someone else URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/you-deserve-the-kind-of-love-you-would-give-someone-else/ Last updated: 2026-03-24T00:30:35.000Z If you give unconditional love you will receive the same but have to believe in you to get that love. **Expectations can be important because you don't want to just settle in life; expecting a person to be faithful for instance and love should be unconditional but it is something that when given should be returned in order to continue. Relationships that become one-sided seldom last. \~ Matt Otis** **I am working on learning to love myself at the moment with the same type of love I give to others because I am even more deserving of that. When that is learned, I believe the rest will all fall into place. The love you are will to accept from another should be based on the self worth you hold for yourself. When you believe in yourself, you won't accept less. \~ Anne Skvarenina** **God is love so in turn we are made to love unconditionally but because of so many heart breaks the love we deserve is too hard to except at times because the pain and time it took to heal the last time. \~ Tawnya Jelks** ### People make time for the things that are important to them URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/people-make-time-for-the-things-that-are-important-to-them/ Last updated: 2026-03-22T00:30:58.000Z It just means they have priorities but you are not one of them. It's very straight forward. Best then to not make them a priority either and all will be fine. \~ Anne McDougle Nowadays, people who say they are very busy, I let them go. I am a busy person myself but make extra effort for people I want in my life. It's all about priorities. If you are not a priority to them, don't waste time chasing them. \~ Sherina Zain There are some who flake out on relationships and there are some that are struggling to keep their head above water. It's best to truly know a person's situation before writing them off. Some are living a life that many couldn't handle. \~ Cynthia Sudden You are going to come across people in your life who will say all the right words at all the right times, but in the end it's always their actions you should judge them by. \~ Arkadyuti Konar ### How can you let go or move on with your life? URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/how-can-you-let-go-or-move-on-with-your-life/ Last updated: 2026-03-20T00:30:54.000Z Sometimes you have to put distance between yourself and those that you have a hard time forgiving. Even family! We forgive them, maybe not because they deserve forgiveness but we deserve our inner peace. This is something I have had to do in my life. In order to forgive, which took me time, I had to let go because it was destroying me. I had to forgive so I could move on and learn from it. To validate my feelings and also let go of others who made me feel less than. Forgiving when one has hurt you is something I can do, but forgiving of one who abused you is another. I had to tear down the weak foundation that I had built over the years and rebuild a strong foundation that has given me strength and courage to move forward in my life. I have found peace and serenity and am grateful for God who loved me before I could love myself. \~ Carol Fitzgerald It takes some time, but if you don't let go the hate will consume you. Also every day that you hold onto it is another day that you allow the people or person that have wronged you to win once again. Do it for your own peace. \~ Angela Medel Forgiveness doesn't mean you have to accept the evil of another, just leave it in GOD's hands. ### There are two kinds of people in the world URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/there-are-two-kinds-of-people-in-the-world/ Last updated: 2026-03-18T00:30:33.000Z **I grew up on a farm in Nebraska. Only child, hard work, my Father instilled all those values I have. We worked hard, gave hard and slept well. God bless you Dad. (1916-1991) \~ Steven Gehrt** **My father said wealth is in your loved ones not in monetary. He was right. It is in the hugs and actions of loved ones. Respect! \~ Ann Marie DeMaio** **There's nothing wrong with being a giver except when it makes you feel used and abused. Remember you have to start by giving to yourself. Self respect, love, quiet time and learn to say no. \~ Teresa Rivera** **You gave because God gave you so much to give. Don't count what you gave and believe me you never going to regret. \~ Roney Bedi** **What goes around, comes around. So give whatever you feel comfortable with and no expectation of receiving. It will come in God's time. \~ Susan Buggy** **Givers are people who had much blessings & graces received from generous God that is why they want to give and share it to other people who are in need of it especially the poor. Unlike the takers because of their selfishness and greediness in life they want to keep it and hold it all the blessings given to them. \~ Celerina McMenamin** If we have given anything from heart and content we will get back the same in return anytime. ### You find that love you deserve URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/you-find-that-love-you-deserve/ Last updated: 2026-03-16T00:30:06.000Z Being with someone and feeling alone is the worst! Sometimes folks confuse being alone with feeling lonely. Sometimes being alone with yourself is amazing. \~ Carol Sidney ### If someone want to get out of your life URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/if-someone-want-to-get-out-of-your-life/ Last updated: 2026-03-14T00:30:09.000Z You can leave if you want. I won't stop you but I have the right to know why, it's hard to apologize when you don't know what for. \~ Laura Gentile ### Some people come into your life to let go URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/some-people-come-into-your-life-to-let-go/ Last updated: 2026-03-12T00:30:29.000Z Some people come as a blessings too. Life is all about learning the lessons wisely. If someone meant so much to you no matter much you try you can never let go, else they wouldn't have mattered to you in the first place. \~ Kishan Gadhia More people come in to teach you to let go and leave, than come into your life to stay. Some people come into our lives to show us were not defined by our past. We can change and be a positive person in life, for our children,and for ourselves. \~ Craig Casagrande ### Expectation is root of all headache URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/expectation-is-root-of-all-headache/ Last updated: 2026-03-10T00:30:11.000Z The moment you begin to have expectations of people or certain circumstances, you are setting yourself up for disappointment. You eliminate expectations by taking full responsibility for your life. You make clear choices and then do them. If things go wrong, no one to blame but yourself. You can always make a new choice. \~ Joyce ONeill If you learn to not expect, you'll live life much happier. Some things cannot be changed. You fly alone, just like everyone else. Expectations of yourself will strengthen you. When you expect others to act the way you want them to and they don't. It's better not to expect them to act a certain way, but rather be there to encourage them and love them unconditionally. This is for family. If your companion isn't living up to your expectations, and you are still holding on, you might want to look at that. If you do something for someone with strings attached, especially in a relationship, that is emotional manipulation. And when they don't respond the way you want you get hurt. That's not healthy, and that's when I would say to give without expectation and love unconditionally. But if it's a case of your partner not giving you love and respect, not as a quid pro quo, but just a lack of affection, love, and emotional connection, then you would do well to get out of that relationship as soon as you can. \~ Thomas Marason ### Sometimes, you have to stop thinking too much URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/sometimes-you-have-to-stop-thinking-too-much/ Last updated: 2026-03-08T00:30:28.000Z Your heart decisions are inspired by your soul desire which fills the emptiness of your life. Over-thinking is a major cause of unhappiness. Over-thinking a problem will keep any problem a problem which will keep you stuck inside the same problem until you quit thinking about it. Over-thinking a situation will make the situation worse in direct proportion to the time and energy you spend over-thinking it. Over-thinking anything prevents your creative problem solving skills from bubbling up. Over-thinking makes you worry, and worry is nothing more than your imagination concocting a negative future state. Over-thinking is a time suck. You are so busy in a negative future state or negative past situation (which you can't change) that you completely forget about right here right now. Over-thinking robs you of energy that could be better focused on things that are worthy of your attention. Over-thinking leads you to second guessing yourself and creates self-doubt. Over-thinking is a TNT drama that occurs on a stage, inside your head, where you are the director, producer, actor, actress, supporting cast, key grip, sound manager, and executive assistant to the executive assistant of the casting director.Over-thinking fabricates problems and gory "what if" horror stories. Over-thinking creates heightened feelings of anger, resentment, jealousy, fear, doubt, indecision, confusion, etc., as if whatever you are over-thinking is happening in real life. We're all going to overthink, over analyze and waste a lot of our days inside our own brains sometimes. The trick, really, is about minimizing those thoughts and making them as productive as possible so they don't get in the way. Take action, follow your heart and go after your passions, your dreams or you might look back at your life someday and regret it. Sometimes you have to follow your heart. \~ Brigitte Nicole When you have thought so much and still things don't work out, follow your heart. Why? What you think is from the mind, the store of data from the past. Your heart, the corridor between your soul ( the true self) and your mind, won't mislead you in a true sense of the word. Mind you, sometimes we find what is right by the path of what is wrong. Listen to your soul speaking. \~ Zandise Booi ### All the advice in the world will never help you URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/all-the-advice-in-the-world-will-never-help-you/ Last updated: 2026-03-06T00:30:21.000Z It's great to hear advice from the people that love you and look out for you but you are the only one that can help yourself. You may hit a few bumps in the road and your loved ones will say told you so but you have to find your way on your own. It's called the path of life! \~ Tisha Parry God helps those who help themselves first. No one can help us except ourselves because we know ourselves more than those who gave advice. It is "US" who knows more about our undertakings or struggles. Advice are just our guide because at the end of the day we will be the one to decide for what is good for ourselves. \~ Modelinda Bazan You can only lead a horse to water and if it won't drink it will die and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it because it's not your life and advice is only taken if it fit's their own criteria, but it is the effort we make, that makes all the difference. \~ Shirley Foden It speaks of the virtues. We must have the self - disciplined ambition to strive forward for ourselves. In self - disciplined work we find our strengths, our inner drive. We cannot affect change if we are not changing. \~ Cincyrlei Honest ### Look for someone who won't let you face your problems alone URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/look-for-someone-who-wont-let-you-face-your-problems-alone/ Last updated: 2026-03-04T00:30:22.000Z None will come forward to help you in distress, even God helps them who help themselves. All the great people have made their own ways. Hence it's better, first explore yourself, have self courage, self confidence, self motivation and then someone really honest friend to guide and motivate you. \~ Ashok Shastri Find someone to go through life with, and be there when hardships rise. That is life, because that is love! \~ Tracy Higgins We all have come to this world to gain experience through different problems and obstacles. Learning is an individual ability that teaches us to become strong in our perception towards life. ### When you know that you are on the right track in life? URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/when-you-know-that-you-are-on-the-right-track-in-life/ Last updated: 2026-03-02T00:30:00.000Z Sometimes the present becomes so "right" that you are forced to look back so you can find those long buried things which no longer serve you and eliminate them. Happy to be here! \~ Shannon Zurney Each day is a new canvas to be painted on. Try to make each one a masterpiece in the way you live. ### Someone who promises you the moon URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/someone-who-promises-you-the-moon/ Last updated: 2026-02-28T00:30:45.000Z I don't want someone who loves me a lot emotionally. I want some one who likes me enough practically. Love and romance is so overrated. Treat relationships as a business deal with practicality and you're far better off. \~ Unknown Nothing is more romantic than to watch the stars with your partner while lying down on the green grass then comes the shooting star where you could say a little prayer in your heart together or perhaps to let her fall asleep on your shoulder under the vast night sky. That is love! Every little thing in life does count. \~ Arch Ashburn Moon and stars are unreachable but watching them together with a special someone is a very romantic moment. ### Everything comes to you at the right moment URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/everything-comes-to-you-at-the-right-moment/ Last updated: 2026-02-26T00:30:26.000Z Patience has it's rewards. If we are impatient evidently, we are not ready. It's also teaching us a lesson. Although it might seem we wait so long, believe, it will happen at the right time. For everything there is a season, every problem has an expiring date. God make all things beautiful in it's time! That is why we have to be patient, the right time will come along the way. What's important is you love and respect each other. \~ Siony Parra The two hardest tests on the spiritual road are the patience to wait for the right moment and the courage not to be disappointed with what we encounter. \~ Sadrach Baker Patience is one of the hardest things to deal with because you're constantly tormented by the thought of something going not accordingly to the plan, so while being "patient" you're in a constant battle with yourself and your past, but if everything goes well, the "rewards" are out of this world. Sometimes a prayer helps! \~ Tibi Jox Quit looking for it, Quit waiting for it, when you are content with where you are in this life, every thing will fall into place. When you are ready, and if you have your heart and eyes open. Don't be afraid of change. ### When you don't get what you want in life? URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/when-you-dont-get-what-you-want-in-life/ Last updated: 2026-02-24T00:30:01.000Z Things always happen or not happen for a reason. Life always give a second chance. Wiser people make it's proper use, but stupid people quit after first loss. You can't even wait for second chance. You don't always get what you want, but if you try sometime, you get what you need. ### Good friends help you when you have lost important things in life URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/good-friends-help-you-when-you-have-lost-important-things-in-life/ Last updated: 2026-02-22T00:30:08.000Z True friends are always best part of our life. Friends always there to pickup the pieces when I fall apart. \~ Linda Wood A good friend is somewhat rare, so if you find one hold on don't let go. A good friend doesn't desert you. They are there for you. ### Sometimes you have to stop worrying, wondering, & doubting URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/sometimes-you-have-to-stop-worrying-wondering-doubting/ Last updated: 2026-02-20T00:30:46.000Z Just have faith it will work out. Nothing good is ever easy. Karma, the universal constant, what goes around comes around, do good, do bad, you get what you put in, so be good. Our expectations and perceptions of what we want to see happen, does not necessarily work out that way, but having faith things will work out. ### Don't be afraid to start over URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/dont-be-afraid-to-start-over/ Last updated: 2026-02-18T00:30:37.000Z God close the bad one, and gives me a chance to rebuild something better. \~ Ruth Sinate You can always better yourself! It makes you feel awesome. You don't need anyone for that! Every failures step closer to success, never stop trying! Start over again when you lost someone you love that will never come back. It will be a part of your life and live for the present who is around with you and be happy. \~ Maricris Valenzuela ### Don't hurt or use me URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/dont-hurt-or-use-me/ Last updated: 2026-02-16T00:30:44.000Z People were made to love and things to use, today's world is in too much chaos because people are being used and thing are being loved. Even if they hurt or use you, forgiving them is the better medicine. True friends are to be treasured, not to be taken for granted. ### Never respond to rudeness URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/never-respond-to-rudeness/ Last updated: 2026-02-14T00:30:10.000Z Kill them with kindness. Kindness Rules! When they are gossiping about me, they are giving others a little break. Don't go down to their level and people will see who is really the better person. Insecure people need to gossip about you to try and prevent gossip about themselves. See them for who they are and pity them. Treat yourself with love and respect, and you will attract people who show you love and respect. \~ Rhonda Byrne My lifetime attitude toward anyone who has not learned how to be normal. I am sorry for them but I am so busy enjoying life to waste a second on counting such people. \~ Mania Safamirzaei Silence is just the way you ignore people who are rude. I just find it more useful to let them know they are being rude and tell them that whatever chip they carry on their shoulder I was not the one who put it there. It usually cracks a smile and an apology! \~ Eduarda Gonçalves ### A friend who understands your tears URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/a-friend-who-understands-your-tears/ Last updated: 2026-02-12T00:30:21.000Z A friend is one whom you can sit in comfortable silence with and feel like you have had a complete conversation. \~ Denise Hecht A true friend sees the first tear, catches the second and stops the third. ### A relationship without trust is like a Car URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/a-relationship-without-trust-is-like-a-car/ Last updated: 2026-02-10T00:30:50.000Z Not all relationships have sex, but trust is required. I left the car and started to walk instead. No more wasting time! \~ Lisa Wong Once the trust is gone so is the relationship. It hurts if the person whom you've trusted betrayed you. I would place trust more cautiously. \~ Ludwig Pang We should have trust in every relationship so that we have a better and peaceful relationship. Trust is much important to any relationship for when you don't have it nothing good will happen. Trust and Love goes together for better relationship with faith in God. Trust is the water in the foundation of a solid relationship! ### If you are giving your all to someone URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/if-you-are-giving-your-all-to-someone/ Last updated: 2026-02-08T00:30:37.000Z Everyone does it at one point. It's the step we have to make for the next level. What you gave in the beginning of your journey together, no one saw that didn't live their lives in your household really. Things do change forever by someone's choices. So never judge by one side of a couple's story. You can really learn so much more you were never told, they will only share what makes them look like the other was never nothing to them, and add a little more. Look back on what you have been told. Question it if you must! \~ Connie Robinholt I had that all my life, been giving and giving, only to be told by everybody that I'm "not good enough" - either I was the "wrong nationality" or "wrong religion" or "wrong skin color" or "too ugly". They were obviously the wrong people to be around because I wouldn't want to be with someone who judge others by their nationality, religion or skin color anyway and as for calling me "ugly" - well, they were obviously looking in the mirror rather than at me when they said that. \~ Saara Ali ### The worst part about being strong URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/the-worst-part-about-being-strong/ Last updated: 2026-02-06T00:30:52.000Z The second worst part is the response "fine."

What matters the most is you know you are strong. \~ Sarah Ariffin Expectations are predetermined disappointments. Best not to have them. If your strong you don't need none to ask anything.

Our society thinks lying and scandaling is the way of life how very wrong they are. That's what wrong with this world today. Freshen up and lighten up people.

Everyone should do this, life is too short, it's the only answer to find true peace inside yourself! \~ Connie Robinholt First, I forgive myself, then I forgive the incident and then I'll forgive the individual so I can set myself free and be on my way. I'll never trust those sorts again and for the most part, I will never go near the individual again or speak to them.

If you don't do so, stop whining. \~ Rita Smith There is a whole lot of negative in this world.

If you can't do it then just don't promise.

When you stop trying everything will happen. Allow yourself to have fun, allow yourself to fall in love with simple things like a sunny day or a cute puppy and allow yourself to feel good. By doing something you love or listening to music. It's the simple things in life that make us happy like going for a walk in nature and it's what we allow ourselves to feel. We can treat ourselves better and we can owe it to ourselves to change our attitude by being grateful and appreciative for what we already have. Life is too short wasting our days thinking that life doesn't get any better than this.

Loss is a different thing. Somewhere out there is a friend for you. Start by being your own best friend. \~ Sue Howard Everything that happens is a consequence of choice. There is nothing worse than realizing or feeling that you are completely alone in this world that no one understands or has experienced what you are going through. The fact is, that is your wake up call, that is God's way of saying, "Look to me, I am here. I have your best interests at heart and I will never fail you. Look to God and learn how to truly love and care for yourself and you will never have to suffer those feelings again. Become your own best friend and realize that you are never alone when you welcome God's presence into your life. \~ David Kemp Do not rely too much on friends because in the end you'll always end up all alone (true story). Have faith in yourself when you are going through tough times. Most importantly, surround yourself with people who really appreciate you, love you and respect you. I don't really mind if I do not have so many friends, as long as I have my family by my side. \~ Lorant Vaida The ones I have given the most to in life have left me alone and some even created the storms for the purpose of seeking something for themselves. Some have watched and left after even abuse. But, most who have done so have been unconscious of their behavior. It takes a lot of living to evolve to overcome fears and stay with someone in the stormy weather. The storms have brought me the most evolved people, strangers, teachers so to speak. Still, they have their own lives and I still have faced sickness, surgery, holidays, loss, and even abuse alone. Something tells me that is how it works when we are here to grow. It is in the struggle that we grow. Gentle hugs to all the people commenting below who have hurt to contend with. Don't give up on people. Yes, learn how to be alone, but do so with loving detachment from expectations from others. \~ Edie Ware Once saved, we become a servant to the most high. People are put on our path sometimes as a test. When we have been blessed, and see those around us trying, but still struggling and we fail to help, I truly believe we ourselves miss a blessing, and fail to show the love of God. We are to be a witness. Our increase is to be a blessing to someone. Today, many of us suffer because of the selfishness of this world. We are not meant to be alone, we cannot allow the evil one to prevail. Lean on God! He will show you the way! \~ Angela Newlin ### Stressing over something you can't change URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/stressing-over-something-you-cant-change/ Last updated: 2025-11-18T00:30:51.000Z Don't dwell on the past, it can't be changed. Start practicing meditation. It will clam your muscles and free your stress. You must learn to let go of the hatred and hurt that lives in your heart. Sometimes it's all you can do just to keep going and sometimes you just have to let the bridge break. Let the tears flow and start over. \~ Anne Asuncion Like everything in life, it's a process. We need to understand that our lives are our own and we deserve the peace that moving on brings. You can't start to enjoy your life until your willing to fully live in the present. When you start stressing, say forward, forward, and move on to the present. \~ Patrice Paulone If you can't do anything about it then just put it out of your mind and work on something you can control. ### No matter how busy a person is URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/no-matter-how-busy-a-person-is/ Last updated: 2025-11-16T00:30:23.000Z Many times you distance yourself from some people to avoid getting hurt and to avoid hurting them too. Being practical is difficult but sometimes very important. \~ Gurleen Sahney Sometimes you really can't see them for work, commitments & family, so the phone is great to communicate or texting. \~ Sophia Mousis If a person really loves you will also find time, opportunities and ways to meet you communicate but if a person deliberately avoids you then understand your place and value in their busy life. \~ Ain Al Marwa We must learn to understand that people in our lives will always make sure that they have quality time to spend with the ones that they truly care about regardless of how busy that person is because the less time that you spend with someone or people the harder it becomes because then you'll suddenly realize that they no longer care & the further that you'll push them away, so it's always best to make precious time because you never know if you get the chance. \~ Amanda Tripney If you want to see how much a person cares about you look at how much time he wants to spend with you. ### Just being there for someone can sometimes bring hope URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/just-being-there-for-someone-can-sometimes-bring-hope/ Last updated: 2025-11-14T00:30:28.000Z Someone capable to be around has the opportunity and excuse, to be around and to be there for you and for that, I am kind of helpless when I see others in my shoes because one way or the other, fate does not always allows. So I just pray for them to be well. This is especially so if the person involved would rather it not be me. Got to respect their preferences. \~ Jasmine Yeung Some people are so far gone, they don't appreciate the help you're trying to offer. \~ Jill Belmont ### Sometimes it's better to be alone URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/sometimes-its-better-to-be-alone/ Last updated: 2025-11-12T00:30:45.000Z To be alone is awful but, better than being with people who do not care or respect you. When you are alone you have nothing to fear because you have nothing to lose and it also keeps you to yourself. It's a sad feeling but it helps you to see the true faces of people. \~ Abdurrehman Mughal Be happy with yourself. Don't chase anyone. If they respect your friendship they will show it! If someone has let go of you, you should also let go of them. ### There are two kinds of forgiveness URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/there-are-two-kinds-of-forgiveness/ Last updated: 2025-11-10T00:30:44.000Z I would rather forgive and give the person a chance if they are family and important to me. \~ Lina Moore After you've done the first one with the same person a few times, you got to move to the second option. You can still like the person and remember the good times you shared. Just from afar to preserve your own sanity. \~ Diana Jinkens I have always given people a second chance and when I see that I am waiting my time I forgive and move on without them. It is better to remove evil people from our lives than to get constantly abused by them. \~ Tim Underwood It is very hard to forgive as we are all human. You never forget, but once you get over the hurt, it makes you feel a lot better. I had an experience that I simply couldn't get over and forgive, however, it made me feel very unhappy and bitter for one whole year. I prayed hard as I knew the situation was just upsetting my life. Now, I am on good terms with that person who is a family member and help her with her problems. Time does heal! \~ Lina Moore I will forgive & move on because that person doesn't care much about me & yet they say they love me. He never calls, never visits, never chats with me even if he is on WhatsApp as the same time with me. So honestly. I have forgiven him & I am moving on without him. Every woman needs attention from her loved one every once in a while. I got nothing. That is clearly not Love. Moving on with a Smile. \~ Debbie Mat To forgive simply means you let go of any spite and choose not to get revenge. It does not mean you have to allow that person back into your life if they have not acknowledged, and apologized and taken steps towards change as well. \~ Jennifer Lee **The third kind of forgiveness is when u finally forgive yourself. \~ Brian Auten** **Everyone deserves a second chance. Just remember that "actions speak louder than words". If behavior persists that requires excuses or a constant "I'm sorry.", accept the info given, notate their true character, decide if that is a healthy contribution to your life or not, then move on. \~ Tiny Beagle** Giving forgiveness the next time around is always a case to case basis, it depends on the intensity of the damage or pain they have given you. If staying with him/her won't make you a better person or the other way around, well it's time to move on with your life without them. Life is too short to be with those kind of people that won't make you to be a better person each day. Keep moving forward and always pray to God to always lead you and guide you 24/7\. \~ Mel Malig Forgiveness is a gift from GoD, a person always need a second chance, nobody is perfect, but if the second chance hasn't change a thing , then move on without them, but if we are talking about family it's even more harder to balance. \~ Emee Alvear ### The most painful thing in life URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/the-most-painful-thing-in-life/ Last updated: 2025-11-08T00:30:11.000Z One of the toughest most painful struggles that will tear your heart to shreds & torment your sleep is loving someone who sometimes seems like the best thing that ever happened to you but then other times acts like you don't exist and like they don't even care at all. You don't know why or whether to hold on, or let go, you have tried so hard and you don't feel like you're enough for them. You just want them to do something to show that they care that it's worth it. It's probably not going to happen and you will start feeling like you're not enough. But fact is you've given everything. More than they deserved. It's not your problem, it's theirs. You can't fix someone. You can't make someone treat you properly. But you can choose to stop focusing all your heart and energy on being loyal to something. A situation that's killing you inside. Just be available, to life, to other people out there! Soon enough you will notice that there are people out there who make you smile. Who appreciate you and who are so capable of filling all those holes that have been left in you're heart! Like a needle and thread that sows your heart back together. Have faith in life, in love. Never stop looking for something amazing! You will find it. Keep looking. Never settle. Maybe all the hurt and disappointment from loving the wrong one so much, is a lesson, to teach and equip you. With the ability to recognize the right one. \~ Brett Smith Never quit being you in a relationship; be yourself; do your thing. Be an individual: never sacrifice yourself & your values no man is worth it. \~ Sharon Connlley When you can be yourself and the other person shares the same interests and has the same values, the same outlook on everything and both people are "givers", finding nothing better than putting a smile on the other person's face. That is spectacular! \~ Kady Fox ### Stop overthinking URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/stop-overthinking/ Last updated: 2025-11-06T00:30:41.000Z We are just creating problems by over thinking, problems that do not exist. Most of my problems are misunderstanding which then leads me to "think". This is what is being done which then causes the issue. \~ Andrea Karolinski Overthinking gets you into a lot of trouble. I am sure you can find other things to think about. Love yourself! \~ Debbie Jerome ### When someone treats you like an option URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/when-someone-treats-you-like-an-option/ Last updated: 2025-11-04T00:30:39.000Z I'm not born just to be someone's option, we all deserve more. \~ Lermie Remie If you're not someone's first choice find someone else who you can be theirs. Plenty of available fish in the sea. Don't let them use you for their convenience only! Let them realize that by removing yourself from the choices, it's their loss not yours. \~ Aida Molo When we feel enough love inside ourselves, we won't tolerate having people with lower standards in our life. When you love yourself enough, the rest will take care of itself. \~ David Axlund ### Peoples' actions do affect other people URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/peoples-actions-do-affect-other-people/ Last updated: 2025-11-02T00:30:22.000Z Some people never learn. That's why I left them behind. \~ Louis Cascio Some parents hurt their own kids over & over then apologize, then hurt again. GOD WILL DEAL WITH THEM! \~ Tracy Olesen It's a shame, that 'All about me' attitude has resulted in my beautiful 3 year old son having a very part time dad in his life. Some people will never change as they are incapable of seeing farther than their nose end and no body else is important. \~ Debbie Robley Truth is about saying what you think, feel and believe, without expecting others to think, feel, and believe as you do. Basic respect for the each other allows us to be truthful and respectful of the differences. \~ Carolyn Sumners The challenge is to live your life and stay true to yourself and respect others, but one cannot control what others think and feel. People are bound not to like you or what you say for reasons beyond you. Don't take on what does not belong to you. \~ Sylvie Godin A wrong word can destroy so much, so take care how you speak to someone who loves you. \~ Monica Luz Del Sol ### Everything can change in the blink of an eye URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/everything-can-change-in-the-blink-of-an-eye/ Last updated: 2025-10-30T00:30:48.000Z Just swallow your pride and move on. The best thing will happened to those who knows how to forgive. It attracts more blessings to your life and inner peace of mind. Maybe it won't heal 100 percent but atleast God knows you've tried & you've done your part and that is important. Forgive not because you are weak but because your strong enough than those who have done wrong to you. \~ Aechb Eeuarnm Never never go to bed on an argument. When we forgive, we take away the power of the person who hurt us. If you can't forgive the person who hurt you, they will continue to hurt you over, over and over every time you think of them or what they did to you they will live in your head rent free. Forgiving isn't for the person that hurt you, it's for your own freedom from what they did to you. \~ Lola Murray Life is very uncertain. Nobody can prepare for the good time or the bed but it should be on flow. People who come in your life always teach you what you suppose to learn. Everything is meant to be happen, there is no uturn to get out in any situation so let the things be. \~ Dina Ismail ### God knows who belongs in your Life URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/god-knows-who-belongs-in-your-life/ Last updated: 2025-10-28T00:30:20.000Z A college professor of ours once said, just like a sand if you hold on too tight on things and people, the more they would slip out from your hands but if you simply allow it to rest on your palm and never try to contain it, it will never fall off. The more we want to take control, the more we become out of control. \~ Eula Panis I have set her free. My pics are gone and everything has changed. All I can do is restore myself and focus on my future. If she decides she really did want to go there with me she will return her heart to me on her own. If not I'm sure God will bless me in his perfect way. \~ Christopher Clement Pray every night to let go of the past. It has meant cutting myself off from loved ones. I felt so guilty in the beginning, but as the months has passed, I realize that they are not there for me. Time has made my feelings heal without the constant reminder these people put me through. I live in the now, most of the time and trust the people still in my life. I pray that I won't bring past experiences into new friendships. I pray that I can trust myself to trust others. \~ Veronica Coughlini Whoever has been in our life and left it, left because they have already brought to our lives what they were suppose to. God will not take someone away from us, or have them leave us, if they are still needed in our life. I believe we are all on this Earth because there are certain things we are suppose to learn while we are here. How we do in this life depends on two things. The people that are a part of our lives, and the decisions we make whenever faced with a choice. \~ Peggy Sasser ### Everything you need will come to you at the perfect time URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/everything-you-need-will-come-to-you-at-the-perfect-time/ Last updated: 2025-10-26T00:30:05.000Z Patience is a virtue. God has prepared best for you in a right time. Don't lose hope! It's just like light in darkness. Hope, pray and faith is what keeps me going. What's coming will be good for me and my family shall welcome it with open arms. \~ Leticia Valdez ### It's important to make someone happy URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/its-important-to-make-someone-happy/ Last updated: 2025-10-24T00:30:49.000Z All it takes is a simple smile. I try to do that to everyone I meet (It might just make someone else's day happier). \~ Jennine Robertson Happiness is from inner, when you practice yourself to accept life as normal as it comes & satisfy with what fate gives, sure you'll always feel happy then. Happiness and love comes from within. If you are not happy or love self how can you give yourself to any one. ### You can't make someone love you URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/you-cant-make-someone-love-you/ Last updated: 2025-10-22T00:30:39.000Z Don't give emotion or affection to someone who can't return it. Sometimes life is quite complicated and it might not be about you at all but them, a timing thing, or even where they are in their own life. They can become stuck in a pattern in life so long that they lose their ability to be free from the emotional chains that bind them. So they become actually incapable of becoming a whole and healthy person who can live life fully and show you the level of love and tenderness you deserve. So if you want that in your life, you must let them go their own way to figure it all out. And rather instead, find that type of love and caring from someone who is willing and capable of giving it. These are difficult life lessons indeed. But they are not insurmountable once you let go of the belief that you can convince someone in any way concerning matters of the heart. It is simply not possible. They either care or they don't. And if they do, love will always find a way. \~ Anne McDougle Sometimes you can try to give all the love in the world and you still get treated like you're nothing, but don't give up. Things always get worse before they get better. \~ Paul Hoffman You are your own soul mate. As soon as you find yourself is when you know how much you love you and that's the love that overflows on to others. It all begins with you. Don't ever forget that. \~ Zarah McIntosh ### The Best things in Life URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/the-best-things-in-life/ Last updated: 2025-10-20T00:30:07.000Z Sex has nothing to do with true love. Try, if you will. Being in love with one, for 28 years, always, was Polly Moran, on my mind. We met in April, 1983 and I was in love. My love, though, we went separate ways in our life, some how, our forks in the road, met again. In May, 2013, my love of my life called me and said your alone, so am I. Our kids are grown, come home. Let's grow old together. She didn't have to tell me twice. I have been with Polly, since that phone call, in 2013\. Been waiting for that very call, since April, 1983! \~ Thomas Smith The best thing in life is being in the moment - totally aware and intimate with it - regardless if it makes a memory. People need to live through memories and memorized "knowledge" only when they are incapable of being in the moment. Most live through mind instead of an empty an open mind capable of experiencing more of what is. \~ Duke Rock ### What's meant to be will always find it's way URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/whats-meant-to-be-will-always-find-its-way/ Last updated: 2025-10-18T00:30:18.000Z In the mean time go out and live life because it will happen when it's meant to happen. You need to grow as a human being and that growth is part of the process of what is meant to be. \~ Tad White Patience is a pleasant way to achieve those things/goals because every matter as a separate entity comes with their destined time in exact places or location. \~ Ralph Mondero Most of the times not in the way how we planned or expected, but in a way how it means to be. ### Never insist yourself to someone who overlooks your worth URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/never-insist-yourself-to-someone-who-overlooks-your-worth/ Last updated: 2025-10-16T00:30:38.000Z Love you first! No matter what you think of yourself, realize that there is no story, no rhetoric, no treatment you have received that you deserved that wasn't loving. You are all you need, ever and when you realize you can do anything, be anything and that you are perfect then it won't matter what others think. \~ Carol Kilgore It does get better it will in time. its not an easy process to go through but the feeling of having a samurai sword in the heart eventually fades . It just makes you stronger and wear your battle scars with pride as a reminder you can get through any thing that life throws at you. after the storms of life there is a rainbow. All the best from some one who has been there before It's worst when they know your worth, give you a "spot" for the moment, appreciate and recognize all you have to offer, let you love them, express affection for you in their way, and tell you that you'll make someone else a good wife someday and then they move away. \~ Kristin DeJong What goes around comes around! We take it as a lesson in life as the ones who broke our hearts didn't realize that we'll come out stronger, more confident, more beautiful and more loving and surely if not you then someone else will teach them a lesson and break their heart. All we can say it's karma, do good get good, do bad get bad. \~ Mahabat Mbk If I need to change myself to suit somebody's conveniences, I am not going to do it. I count and if I am not appreciated for who I am or what I am when they don't deserve me. \~ Vanita Varughese I have zero interest in someone who doesn't value me or who treats me like I'm just another one of their many options. To me, competing for someone's attention is boring and not healthy for self esteem. So much more fun to be pursued by those who actually like you. I can be friends sometimes still but my heart becomes a no fly zone because at the core level. They will never value it or me. This is the difference between short term fluff and those more meaningful people and relationships where you actually help energize/enhance one another's life in some way. Rather they walk your path with you for a short time, or for a long while, these are the golden quality people. The ones you remember. \~ Anne McDougle ### Once the words are out of your mouth and heard URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/once-the-words-are-out-of-your-mouth-and-heard/ Last updated: 2025-10-14T00:30:46.000Z When you act, make sure that you do it in regard to others. Your actions can and will affect others. That being said, do not let others affect how you act, as in, when you see somebody doing something on tv, that doesn't mean that you should do it. When your friends do something, that doesn't mean it is ok for you to do it. You should only be doing what you feel in your heart to be the right thing to do. If you really listen to your heart, you will know that the right thing to do is best in regards for not only yourself, but for others as well. The right thing to do is the one in which nobody will usually get hurt. By letting society or what you see on tv affect you, you aren't listening to your heart and being yourself, your true self, and that is where you should not be letting others affect you. You very well should let the affect that you have on others, especially the direct impact (your actions could potentially end lives even (such as drinking and driving)), affect your decisions. Do what is right, always. \~ Jared Hill Think before you speak, because once the words are out of your mouth and heard, you can't take them back. You also shouldn't have to please others or evolve your life around them. You should be yourself & most people are sensitive but that's their problem not yours. I live my life walking on egg shells trying to make people happy because if you just be yourself they don't know how to handle it so in the last year I worry about me because in the end it's your life & you deal with the consequences & people will never treat each other the way they want to be treated. They just say they do where as I always treat others how I want to be treated which is always respect them & always tell the truth & always help if I can. MORAL to the story: BE YOURSELF you will have much success. \~ Ashley Winters ### Sometimes, you meet a person & you just click URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/sometimes-you-meet-a-person-you-just-click/ Last updated: 2025-10-12T00:30:55.000Z He only stayed for a while and we parted ways and left my heartache but despite of what happened I am truly grateful that our path crossed. \~ Elora Tuling I remember looking out at a perfect sunset on my perfect day, me and him had an amazing day and we sat and I put my arms around his shoulders and told him, "It feels like I have known you all my life". \~ Jacqueline Fortune To be your real self with the other, from the very beginning and to continue being that way through it all, each day, as time goes by-is so wonderful and amazing. How can one not love the other for loving and accepting so unconditionally. \~ Carlie Meehleder ### When someone loves you URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/when-someone-loves-you/ Last updated: 2025-10-10T00:30:37.000Z Don't trust words, trust only actions. If you are talking about the love than action can make your feeling double, triple or many times. Weak people will ask you to listen first cos their actions are inconsistent. Strong people would just do without questions. I choose the later. \~ Diana Johanna ### Everything comes to you in the right moment URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/everything-comes-to-you-in-the-right-moment/ Last updated: 2025-10-08T00:30:42.000Z Only God knows what's best for us, thus, He gives it to us when we need His help the most. Delay doesn't mean denial. \~ Maricor Morales Just letting the universe know that I am ready for my new job and that today is good for it. \~ Margaret Bruce If knowing answers to life's questions is absolutely necessary to you, then forget the journey. You will never make it, for this is a journey of unknowable of unanswered questions, enigmas, incomprehensible and most of all, things unfair. \~ Jeanne Guyon Try to be grateful for the good things and people that you already have in your life. Remind yourself of those regularly. The things you're wishing for may, or may not, be part of your life's journey. Accept that and let it go. There might be different things in store for you that are in keeping with your life's fulfillment. Better things, for you. It's good to have hope and/or to dream! \~ Denise Fornika ### Those things which you can't control or change URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/those-things-which-you-cant-control-or-change/ Last updated: 2025-10-06T00:30:17.000Z I will accept and rejoice in the world as it is. I will live in the present and be thankful for everything. It is all in the way that you look at life. Smile and give the gift of happiness to all that you meet \~ Susan Hagen Even though we would like to change things there are some things that we can't change. Stress creates toxins! Best to breathe, relax and be productive in a positive manner! Sometimes we stress about things that may never happen. It's bad energy, and it can hurt you in so many ways. \~ Frank Cimillo ### When someone leaves you URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/when-someone-leaves-you/ Last updated: 2025-10-04T00:30:26.000Z Forgive, let go and walk your own way. We should try to forget bad things in a life and look at good we have because it always can be worse than what has happened to us. Positive life = Happier life \~ Julieta Ivanova ### When you know that you are in love with someone URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/when-you-know-that-you-are-in-love-with-someone/ Last updated: 2025-10-02T00:30:46.000Z Ego can be a huge barrier. Once you let this go everything becomes so much lighter. \~ Joanna Stevenson Unconditional love is the only kind of true love. It’s one thing to fall in love. It’s another to feel someone else fall in love with you, and to feel a responsibility toward that love. \~ Debapriyo Saha ### The people who choose not to be a part of your life URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/the-people-who-choose-not-to-be-a-part-of-your-life/ Last updated: 2025-09-30T00:30:36.000Z The people who don't fit in your life, the people who choose not to be a part of your life or like you and that's okay. We can't force them to like us, so go about your life and concentrate on ones who do love you. \~ Brigitte Nicole We can always strive to be a better person. In some cases, certain people's feeling will never change no matter how great a person you are. \~ Eric Dossa We all have people in our life at one time or another that don't like us. Sometimes for no reason at all. I use to think I had to do something to make it right. I finely got it. Life is too short and it's not my job to make everyone happy or like me. Sometimes the problem is not with us but the other person. I will always treat others with kindness but I am not going to worry any more if some one likes me or not. \~ Debra Madden To change their feelings keep loving them. Since, love begets love. Never surrender! The power of love will tame and mend their heart. Continue sowing love into their heart. \~ Danilo Mallari If they don't like you, that means they think you are better than them & feel intimidated by you. \~ Louie Rivera Just never force to others who dislikes you after you'd done every good deeds for them, and still they don't appreciate you. Whatever ugly experienced we have in the past just consider it a lessons and learn how to set a boundaries for the future walks of life. \~ Liza McLaughlin ### Life is like a Camera URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/life-is-like-a-camera/ Last updated: 2025-09-28T00:30:21.000Z We ponder for a moment, to take an honest & analytical reflection on ourselves and move forward! Some people will not move on. They keep reliving the past and you have to move on without them. The most difficult part is to develop from the negatives as many times these negatives are too hard to bear it. \~ Nehal Ashraf When what you've capture in life didn't turn out right, then take another shot of earnest prayer & everything will turn out right in God's own time. Just patiently wait, till the negatives becomes clear. \~ Beaulahlitha Bulahan ### Sometimes you have to give up on people URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/sometimes-you-have-to-give-up-on-people/ Last updated: 2025-09-26T00:30:31.000Z It's a huge waste of time to spend more thinking about someone you think you may care about who makes it crystal clear they don't spend any time thinking about you. \~ Peggy Van Aller A lesson I have spent too much time learning. It's not always a question of what's wrong with me as it is a statement on their being. \~ Calvin Caudill Giving up does not mean not caring about the person, it means letting them have what they want, which is to be without you. \~ Johnny Crochet It will happen many times over in a lifetime. Will it hurt? Yes! Is it a bad thing? No! Surround yourself with people that truly have your back. They are the ones worth more than anything in this world. When they can't seem to make time for you but once a week it's time to say goodbye. \~ Greg Fullington If people treated you like an option, leave them like a choice. You have done everything to guide them, to show them you care, but since they are the one to choose to be whoever they wanted to be, no matter how much we love the person and wanted to see them on their best, we better give up because it is very tiring, and you are just ignored. Just remember, we will not be at their side all the time. \~ Marie Cruz ### Take a Chance in your life URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/take-a-chance-in-your-life/ Last updated: 2025-09-24T00:30:15.000Z Positive thoughts generate positive feelings and attract positive life experiences. You never try, you will never know what will be the end result. Do not be afraid to have the courage to take the first step. The outcome may turn out to be amazing and full of surprises. \~ Michelle Tay Time to move and leave the Baggage behind. The load is too heavy and I am so tired of dragging it with me. \~ Cindy Piper Life always salute the brave hearts who fear not but take chances that come in the way. You may be just lucky and grab a diamond. Just keep marching and never ever look back. \~ Hanna Myer ### Never Quit! Back on track & Move forward URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/never-quit-back-on-track-move-forward/ Last updated: 2025-09-22T00:30:35.000Z What happened yesterday doesn't matter = Don't live in the past, let it go, live for today, move on, don't stay stuck in yesterday. Everyday, we start with a new slate and leave the yesterdays behind. Always live for today. If it doesn't turn out so great, you always get another chance tomorrow. Whatever mistakes we have made, the only way out is to move on, we don't look back in regret but we move on with hope. Brush it off, get back up and move on! The end result is you come back stronger and more determined! Forgot about yesterday and don't think about future. Just start thinking about present only because we don't know what will happen on next second, so don't waste the time and enjoy each and every second. ### Cry it out & refocus on where you are headed URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/cry-it-out-refocus-on-where-you-are-headed/ Last updated: 2025-09-20T00:30:48.000Z Let the pain inside you come out. It helps in healing. Stay alone for sometime, spend some time with yourself. Figure out, what you did wrong, learn from your mistake. It only makes you stronger. \~ Debapriyo Saha Crying means pouring out your emotions. It doesn't mean you're weak sometimes we need to do it to make us feel better. \~ Rowena Audal ### Usually give more chances to people URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/usually-give-more-chances-to-people/ Last updated: 2025-09-18T00:30:21.000Z When the crying is over and I get quiet! That's the sign. .... Done! \~ Sandy Bathe It's like respect, once you loose it, it's gone. Nobody should be a door mat for anyone! I always give my best, show the way how much I value, but sometimes life spoiled you, so when I say enough, enough. No matter it takes, no matter how it hurts. \~ Josie Rendon There must be a line drawn. I do not believe in enemies but I will still be polite and thing to you but just not gonna do certain things together any more. \~ Janetta Brown You should not be used by somebody or understand one day that the chance or tries are not wanted. It's a matter of trust. Once that is gone, it's gone. That's why I give more than one chance because I know that of me. I'm wise enough to know by chance I mine time. I've learned that if someone crosses you in a terrible way, they will do it again; and I won't allow that, but if it is little escalating behaviors that make me see a different side, that's it. I'll be cordial and polite; but it can never be the same again. \~ Pamela Williams ### Some people can be mean & treat you poorly URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/some-people-can-be-mean-treat-you-poorly/ Last updated: 2025-09-16T00:30:26.000Z Don't give them that possibility or don't allow them treat you poorly. It's your responsibility to put a wall or let them break that wall. Even that is better without walls, with some people is necessarily. \~ Tani Kasmi The meanest people are the ones who are hurting inside. I try to understand and not be hurt by their words. They are suffering. \~ Wanda Bomar If you were treated poorly, then take a good look at yourself as to why and how that happened. Correct your course and learn from the episode. You've been granted the gift of growth. Knowing they will continue in their old ways and habits. \~ Tod Brown ### Someone who won't give up on you URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/someone-who-wont-give-up-on-you/ Last updated: 2025-09-14T00:30:49.000Z **I enjoy & love your company so much. It's so fun to love you & you are the best thing ever happened on me. \~ Jojo Jacob** ### Truth is always better even if it hurts a little now URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/truth-is-always-better-even-if-it-hurts-a-little-now/ Last updated: 2025-09-12T00:30:31.000Z There is being honest and deliberately hurting others by telling a truth it is not necessary to convey. I always use the "T.H.I.N.K. principle" as a guide because unlike a lot of people these days I do not want to use "telling the truth" as an excuse to be inconsiderate. Quite simply that principle takes the first letters of the word "think" and gets you to ask these questions before you speak:- **Is it TRUE?** **Is it HELPFUL?** **Is it INSPIRATIONAL?** **Is it NECESSARY?** **Is it KIND?** And for me the last two questions will always be the most important. \~ Caryn Spriggs Truth is always better even if it hurts a little now. Some people lie when the truth fits better. If you have good conscience tell the truth. Love life, be true to yourself and all good will come right back. \~ Bonney Adkins ### Don't let others destroy your inner peace URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/dont-let-others-destroy-your-inner-peace/ Last updated: 2025-09-10T00:30:30.000Z Their past behaviors are often times still at the surface only masked with the right words. True character always surfaces. \~ Barb Deal With constant and daily practice, it becomes second nature. Sometimes those people are just jealous because they don't have it. ### Those who do the most for others URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/those-who-do-the-most-for-others/ Last updated: 2025-09-08T00:30:12.000Z I do it for the ones who need it the most. I was taught to be kind and humble, but not the point where they will take advantage of you. \~ Eva Felan Sometimes we have tried to do for them but they don't see our value. \~ Kea Chhengky ### It's not about what you look like or what you own URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/its-not-about-what-you-look-like-or-what-you-own/ Last updated: 2025-09-06T00:30:50.000Z We don't have to conform to society. If you choose to believe the car you drive or what you look like says anything about a person, you're missing out on the best of life. \~ Lea Cunningham Old people are the kind of people who lost their ambitions and their own dreams and wise people are the people who won happiness and knowledge about life. \~ Xavier Rivas ### Good things take time URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/good-things-take-time/ Last updated: 2025-09-04T00:30:25.000Z The good things in life that have real meaning take time, need to grow, they are not instantly there. Like true love, having a baby, watching it grow up, working your way up through a job, goals, achieving your dreams. All take time. \~ Brigitte Nicole A quitter never wins. A winner never quits. ### Some people can take advantage of you URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/some-people-can-take-advantage-of-you/ Last updated: 2025-09-02T00:30:34.000Z Getting rid of what you don't need and excess crap gives us freedom and happiness. No one can ever take advantage of you. You allow it and to think otherwise is taking the "victim" mentality. Take responsibility for your actions, even those where your intent is to do good. Do not look at people through rose colored glasses. \~ Scott Irwin ### When you try to control everything URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/when-you-try-to-control-everything/ Last updated: 2025-08-30T00:30:25.000Z You create more problems by controlling something or somebody.

Sometimes quiet people can't get a word in for the big mouth that won't shut up. ### The Best way to move forward in life URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/the-best-way-to-move-forward-in-life/ Last updated: 2025-08-26T00:30:32.000Z Remember the past and treasure the memories, but don't dwell on the past. What's gone is gone and we can never go back to the way things were the journey through life only moves forwards. Remember life is short, live your life now and love those close to you because you really never know when you or someone you love will be gone. \~ John Aga Just go with the flow and move forward. When you release expectations, you are free to enjoy things for what they are instead of what you think they should be. Some people are able to turn page easily, they don't value the people, they don't value the moments, they just think about themselves, for other it takes time a lot of time. \~ Marta Mazzucchi ### Never allow loneliness to drive you URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/never-allow-loneliness-to-drive-you/ Last updated: 2025-08-24T00:30:21.000Z Never settle or be with someone just not to be alone - not fair to them, and especially not fair to yourself. \~ Sabrina Cee Some people would rather have something than nothing, even if the something is bad for them.

A hard lesson to learn, but believe me, it's worth it. It gives you freedom and a lighter heart and piece of mind. Love, even if it hurts. \~ Stacy Csahiouni Once you forgiven both your partner and yourself, you become wiser in future relationships. Plus, you need to realize that all men/women aren't the same.

When they smugly take your silence or walking away as their victory. Just sigh and realize that inside, they are still really sad people who are hurting and what goes around comes around one day. Eventually, they will wake up and realize how alone and unhappy they are. If they are not already realizing that, just hold your head up. They will see your happiness and it will drive them crazy. \~ Kristie Jensen I am better and that is why I'm not going to drop down to your level anymore because I know it's time to grow up and focus on my future life other than fighting with you is me droping to your level. \~ Elizabeth Schwartz My life lesson told me it is better to walk away than trying to speak for yourself. The more you speak, the more you get hurt. Sometimes, you just have bad luck.

The more tolerance you have the bigger you are in life. \~ Subhash Arora ### Change is sometimes needed URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/change-is-sometimes-needed/ Last updated: 2025-08-12T00:30:17.000Z It is hard to change, but if it's going to bring better people and times in your life it's worth all the hard work. \~ Teresa Bond A positive change is always good and it will make you stronger and better, if you believe.

Everyone you meet is fighting a battle, some people are better at hiding it. \~ Shikha Gupta Grief is such a personal thing. No one grieves in the same way. There's no rules for grief and no one has the right to tell you when to stop feeling the way you feel. Take as long as you need and if folk don't like it then let them jog on. \~ Ayshea Simpson Not only do we not know how long we grieve but do we always know when the grieving begins. It is different for everyone, so never compare yourself with anyone else.

Life is so short, love your loved ones everyday and be thankful for what you have. **Here today, maybe gone tomorrow you never know. You will only know the value of that person when he's taken away from you.** **It's too late to cherish something once it's lost. Every moment should be lived as if it is the last one. The loved once in our lives should be appreciated today and not tomorrow, as tomorrow it could be too late. \~ Rasa Mazrm** **Life is precious and things can change in the blink of an eye.

People don't realize when they keep taking steps backwards, whether intentional or not, the other person also takes a step back out of self preservation (especially after trying to be closer to the person that is pushing them away) and before you know it, the divide is too large to bring back together. One great relationship is over. \~ Sue Colby I have learned that you have to love people how they need to be loved not how you want to love them. So if they build barriers and/or push you away, either self adjust or let them go. All relationships are complicated. Some more so than others. \~ Anne McDougle If you are pushed hard enough you will do something about it and maybe find something / someone who will treat you better and deserve you. \~ Dee Hannington ### It might take a year or a day URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/it-might-take-a-year-or-a-day/ Last updated: 2025-06-28T00:30:20.000Z However long it takes, how frustrating it can be, how lonely you may get, don't rush anything, take time to reflect and when it's right whenever that may be, you will be happier.

Just enjoy the embrace because life is not a race. \~ Michael Jones Struggle and strive, have effort to have a hard work and reach a goal of success. \~ Lucrecia Cuartero ### Don't let anyone suck the happiness out of you URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/dont-let-anyone-suck-the-happiness-out-of-you/ Last updated: 2025-06-26T00:30:51.000Z Unfortunately, some make excuses to stay and continue to get the life sucked out of them and then complain and don't get why their life is the way it is. \~ Denise Hecht Some don't have a choice where money are concerned. \~ Tina Gross Sometimes when your weak, you have to keep away from people who take you down.

But my mind remembers and knows enough to deal with them differently in the future. \~ Diane Rejman Some people love being underestimated at first and wait for the right time to reveal what they are actually made of. \~ Gabrian Balelang Learning to say less and less keeping things to myself makes life much easier.

We can live like a dove or a crow. God and mother nature has all the answers. We can lose loved ones in our life, we can keep them alive in our hearts. \~ Michele Gregory** For some it takes longer to recover depending on what your grieving for. We all experience grief so very differently. Not anyone should tell you how to recover & when to move on, but eventually you will come through and shine. ### There is a purpose behind every delay URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/there-is-a-purpose-behind-every-delay/ Last updated: 2025-06-20T00:30:40.000Z I waited 42 yrs for the love of my life. It was worth it. I look back and it wouldn't of worked out for us any earlier. I think two people meet each other when the time is right and all the lessons you need to learn are out of the way to make the relationship work or else it's doomed to fail. \~ Brigitte Nicole I've been single for five years and it seems like forever, but I've found that being alone is far better than being in the wrong relationship. Hang in there, love will come when the time is right. In the meantime, learn to love yourself and you'll never feel alone. \~ Ellen Macneil ### No matter how good or bad your life is URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/no-matter-how-good-or-bad-your-life-is/ Last updated: 2025-06-18T00:30:56.000Z Thankful and happy just for being alive and having the chance to see another day. That's how it should be. Having a positive attitude in spite of problems as complaining and poor-mouthing are just a waste of time. After all, we all have problems in such a weird and unfair world. It's the way we face them which matters the most. \~ Annamaria Rivolta There's a blessing hidden in every trial of life,but we have to be willing to open our heart to see it. \~ Javeria Saeed I say this to my kids and everyone when I ask them how their day is and that looks comes over their face or they just reply good how is yours, I say it's a great day I woke up this morning so it has to be a good day..

I have a bad habit of giving people the benefit of the doubt and trusting them only to be hurt. People are so quick to use others as stepping stones to get to what they want, or to make themselves feel better. If people could be more like animals I think the world would be a better place. My pets love no matter what, never lie, and are always there when I need them most. \~ Nancy Dyer If they talk bad about others with you, run away don't walk. The ones that you think that you should be able to open up to are the one's wanting to gossip about you. I learned the hard way, and when I meet someone, and think that I could open up to them, I have second thoughts due to past. \~ Jeanine Serediuk Some people do it just so they can always be in the spot light. The truth is most of the people that do this really don't like themselves. \~ Lynne Petty Sometimes too much trust eventually you end up hurting your self. It's very hard to find someone whom you trust with. \~ Belle Edoria Gossip is cheap and usually the people who do it are the cheapest people ever. Choose your friends wisely! Not all those who you consider as friends are real friends. No one has ever tame the tongue. It occupies a small part in our body but it can destroy our whole being. ### Like is like a roller coaster ride URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/like-is-like-a-roller-coaster-ride/ Last updated: 2025-06-14T00:30:22.000Z Different things happen in our lives and you cannot control it.

There's a lot just think. \~ Leila Mohammed ### Your actions do affect other people URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/your-actions-do-affect-other-people/ Last updated: 2025-06-10T00:30:10.000Z In this world we all have our own community. Towns, city, neighborhoods, schools all in which we must find a way to get along with our fellow man. Our actions do affect others and we can lead by example and with love. "Three things in human life are important. The first is to be kind. The second is to be kind. And the third is to be kind." \~ Brigitte Nicole Taking responsibility for our actions is very essential step to our happiness. Nobody is able to take powers from you. Your values and strength will remain always with you regardless of other people actions. \~ Marek Wierzbowski When others are inconsiderate or downright abusive, they have affected us. We may have a bruise body or bruised heart. They are responsible for what they did not us; we are responsible for how we then manage the consequences of this. Do we allow them to continue or stand up for ourselves etc. Don't ever believe that you are responsible for someone else's 'actions'. \~ Kath Puckeridge There are ways to get your point across without hurting someones feelings. First of all, put yourself in their shoes for a minute. Second, ask yourself how you would want to be treated if you were in their shoes. Third, say what needs to be said in a normal tone of voice, no screaming, no name calling. Discuss it like two adults, not 2 year olds. \~ Mimi Mc Dermott Too many do not think outside the box nor are accountable for action, word and deed. Sadly many do not apologize, for some 'sorry' is not in there vocabulary. For those that do say sorry, what's the point if there is no change, empty words with no meaning. Change is important, What we do is always a ripple effect. Whether in anger or love. It's all a choice. \~ Stuart Karen ### How to get a woman's Heart?

Try to be friends first then as a couple and win her trust because that's the only thing girl wants from a guy. \~ Sehar Kiani In order to love another, one must first love and respect themselves. If your heart has been damaged in a past relationship, you owe yourself and the one you are currently with a chance at a fresh start and ultimately happiness. Your past is the past and should stay there. There's a reason why God put your eyes on the front of your head and not the back. It's for you to look forward and see that which lies ahead of you. \~ Cindi Callantine ### When you are temporarily upset URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/when-you-are-temporarily-upset/ Last updated: 2025-06-06T00:30:13.000Z The only people that are angry at you for telling the truth are those living the lie. Be yourself and do not cheat your own soul. That is all that matters. Say something so stupid like get out my life then cause you just might get what you asked for. \~ Carlee Semblante ### One day someone will walk into your life URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/one-day-someone-will-walk-into-your-life/ Last updated: 2025-06-04T00:30:57.000Z You have to take time, go for coffee chat, go to dinner chat. Not all men want to go right off to bed and do not ask that they want to get to know the girl to find what kind of person she is but if you do not give a man a chance you will be alone all your life. Your fault no one else. Men have to be careful as they want a decent person and jumping right off into a sack is not for a good relationship or asking for a guy for sex is sick. There are some decent men and women who only want to settle down. \~ Lucille Muzeroll ### Everyone has a friend during each stage of life URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/everyone-has-a-friend-during-each-stage-of-life/ Last updated: 2025-06-02T00:30:01.000Z Those are few and far between. Those who have them hold them close because you are the lucky ones, be grateful. The things that you learn about the character of the people in your world, that change your thoughts of them. Calling you to move on. \~ SJ Adams I have a friend that has gone through all my stages of life and I'm lucky too have her in my life for the last 42 years and I love her very much. \~ Rosemary Rosales When your blessed to find such a friend, hold on to them cause there are not many of them in this lifetime. ### If you struggle with any situation URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/if-you-struggle-with-any-situation/ Last updated: 2025-05-30T00:30:07.000Z If you always do what you always did, you will always get what you always got. We repeat the same mistakes because each time we think the situation is not the same as the one before. We have hope, we forgive and expect the results to be different. We give second chances to people and it can be bad if they disappoint you and if they don't, you feel relieved after taking the risk to be hurt so, when facing any situation, I keep in mind the lessons learned from previous situations I've been through but I also stay optimistic. \~ Sarra L'kassmi If you don't learn the "lesson" find something positive in the experience to help yourself or maybe someday, somebody else. That is exactly what I do. \~ Beth Hannon ### An Invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/an-invisible-red-thread-connects-those-who-are-destined-to-meet/ Last updated: 2025-05-28T00:30:31.000Z The red of the Root chakra (which is red, although we don't see it with our physical eyes), which is, essentially, our connection to the Earth plane of existence. The red symbolism in this invisible cord as the roots of our connections to the people/persons we are to experience the most with, whatever way that might be, and those we're meant to be a fleeting piece of history for. \~ Mindy Ness To all who believe the thread breaks: It does not break. You both met each other (for a reason i.e lesson either positive or negative), a season or a lifetime). No matter the end result, you can't change the fact that you both met. What happens to the bond after meeting is another thread which yes, can break! \~ Tracy Deyhle ### Always believe that something wonderful is going to happen URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/always-believe-that-something-wonderful-is-going-to-happen/ Last updated: 2025-05-26T00:30:56.000Z Every single minute is a gift.

Maybe now you really hate someone that you want them to get lost of your life we should have to consider that maybe one day you will need them in to your life someday or somehow. \~ Irvin Garcia Sometimes you have the chance to reconsider your path, the "scenes", the emotions you have by being on it. There is no need for me to burn it just leave it behind me peacefully is enough. \~ Stela Nikolova ### Before you Hurt someone, Feel URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/before-you-hurt-someone-feel/ Last updated: 2025-05-22T00:30:20.000Z Speak gently always. No exceptions or excuses has to be made. Everyone is struggling. If you are in pain, maybe you can simply share your tears with someone who cares rather than express cruelty in your words and doings and causing pain thereby to people whose tears are yet to be shed as well. We ought to always remember that there is a story behind every life we encounter and it isn't us who lives by that experience at all. \~ Angel Domingo Positive breeds Positive. Negative breeds Negative. That's why I try to surround myself with positive thinking people. \~ Dianne Campbell ### How beautiful it is to stay silent? URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/how-beautiful-it-is-to-stay-silent/ Last updated: 2025-05-20T00:30:14.000Z It breaks the waves & calms the storm. The world needs so much love. It's better to kill them with kindness. It takes a very wise person to stay silent when someone has mistreated you. \~ Victoria Shook I prayed this: "Father, You are Lord over my emotions, my entire being. Give me the gift of patience and self-control that I may always choose to love above proving myself right." \~ Gel Romero When you just want to be enraged, but you maintain and control your temper, that takes serious self control. \~ Christine Seidowsky Nothing pisses off your enemies like not responding the way they want you to. \~ Aaron Hersey ### Kindness is like snow URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/kindness-is-like-snow/ Last updated: 2025-05-18T00:30:20.000Z When I'm kind it makes me feel better. If it makes the other person feel good then great, if not, maybe it's selfish, but I really don't care. Choose wisely who you're kind to and who takes advantage of you. \~ Charlotte Barty Be kind any time that one time you were kind and thought you were being used could turn around that person and they could be kind to another. \~ Wayne Stone Kindness means being nice to people even when you don't have to. I consider it one of the best qualities in human being. \~ Demetris Eva Kindness is like giving a hug to a stranger. It shows a caring nature. \~ Margaret Perry God sure knows how to decorate our world with all the beauty of the seasons that He created and all the natural beauty of waterfalls, streams, lakes, clouds in the sky, stars at night, and the list goes on and on. Thank you lord for blessing us all with such beauty that surrounds us. \~ Lorina Logan ### The best gift a man can give to his woman URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/the-best-gift-a-man-can-give-to-his-woman/ Last updated: 2025-05-16T00:30:03.000Z There is no such thing as not having time. You can make time if you truly want. If not, one is selfish. If a man gives you his time, he is committed to you. If a man loves you, he will be honest with you. If a man respects you, he will pay attention to you. I know these things because I am in a relationship that began on January 2, 1978\. I met my wife that night. We married on July 20, 1980\. We have reared two daughters, one born in 1982, the other in 1991, so it was like having two broods. We have been through a myriad of medical problems, four bankruptcies, lost two homes, and many other devastating problems. Yet, almost 35 years later, we are still committed to our relationship. In fact, in many ways, we trust each other, are committed to each other, respect each other, and love each other more than ever. God put us together, He has kept us together, and we will always be together as long as we both are living. Being in a relationship, first and foremost, depends on both parties being in love with the other, and joining in marriage, committing to each other, and to God. Second, both must being good forgivers. We all do things that we regret, and asking for forgiveness, and giving it, are necessary for a relationship to last. Everything else then falls into place. I hope you will put your trust in God, and find the man God has for you. My wife and I met because we both arrived at a lecture class early that night in 1978\. She was there, sitting by herself on the front steps of the auditorium, when I rode up on my bicycle. Since no one else was there, I walked over to her, and asked her if I could sit next to her, and we then sat together in the class, and I asked her out after. The rest, as they say, is history. Neither of us had any inkling that we would meet our soul mate that night, but God works in mysterious ways. So, if a guy walks up to you and asks to sit with you, it may be a good idea to say yes! God be with you. \~ Mike Dickson ### Even the scariest of chances could be the greatest URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/take-a-chance/ Last updated: 2025-05-14T00:30:38.000Z In the end we only regret the chances we didn't take, the relationships we were afraid to have, and the decisions we took too long to make. I always try to take the chance even though my past wasn't the greatest. I take a person and accept them for who they are and whatever past, present or future they hold. Even the scariest of chances could be the greatest. \~ Jacki Grenier Take a chance as it is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Have a positive mind set and all will go according to plan. \~ Ruwaida Fourie ### Respect is earned, not given URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/respect-is-earned-not-given/ Last updated: 2025-05-12T00:30:24.000Z Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. If you don't have a nice thing to say about someone than don't say anything at all. Respect like trust is earned over time never given for nothing. You want someones respect "Work for it!". \~ David Velasquez ### Every time you subtract negative from your life URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/every-time-you-subtract-negative-from-your-life/ Last updated: 2025-05-10T00:30:33.000Z It's about learning to remove yourself from those situations and getting yourself into the positive situations that's the real key. Getting around a positive group of people. \~ Ben Drake Do positive things so you have less time available for negative. Spend time planning a holiday or something, research topics you enjoy, also spend time with positive people. \~ Meleri Williams Try if possible to avoid, places, people and things that are unhealthy to your mental and physical health. Once you're used to being around a healthy, loving environment, with positive friends, you can't go wrong. \~ Brigitte Nicole ### Live your life impressing yourself URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/live-your-life-impressing-yourself/ Last updated: 2025-05-08T00:30:21.000Z Be your own hero. When you worry about impressing others, you have made them an idol or a God.

As the simplicity of a child you would think that, but sadly, in our sick, sad and vicious ego driven world full of nasty people, it tarnishes that loving and innocent impulse direct from God within each one of us. The world teaches the exact opposite of what god is in truth. that evil world gets its half life off the god within each of us. the only way to allow any healing to occur in that mess out there is to create space by getting our ego's out the way, thus allowing love to have a say or an influence. \~ Allen Higginbottom ### The people who never give up on you URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/the-people-who-never-give-up-on-you/ Last updated: 2025-04-06T00:30:30.000Z The people who fallen so I can stand will forever be in my heart and mind and have the great honor a man can give and that is family. \~ Marcus Arelius ### Overthinking is the biggest cause of unhappiness URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/overthinking-is-the-biggest-cause-of-unhappiness/ Last updated: 2025-04-04T00:30:13.000Z Ruminating, catastrophizing and vilifying instead of taking personal accountability are ways that "overthinking" can occur and keep you down. Positive thinking is important but so is identifying and then changing the ways you overthink. It's easier to be positive when you are aware of the special "overthinking" path you personally take (we all take similar but different paths, and the paths we take may change over time). Learning to be positive when you have grown up in negative and surrounded yourself with negative is not easy, but it is essential. \~ Denise Becker ### In one moment your entire life could change URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/in-one-moment-your-entire-life-could-change/ Last updated: 2025-04-02T00:30:53.000Z We never know the day nor the hour.

Anything more than this comes from the evil one. Being selfish is not always a bad thing. Sure, other problems will arise if we say no to everyone all of the time, but this is where selectivity comes in. If you listen carefully, your body will tell you if you are dishonoring yourself by saying yes to someone or something when you really don’t want to. Your “gut feeling” or intuition will poke you in the tummy and let you know. You know what feeling I’m talking about. Sometimes it genuinely feels good to say yes, but the trick is to make sure that you never give more to other people than you give to yourself. \~ Brigitte Nicole The moment you explain you have already lost. Surround yourself with people on the same frequency. There are people who could hear you speak a thousand words and don't understand one bite of it. \~ Freja Løvgren I would rather tell someone an honest no because telling someone yes but not really meaning it would just make me a liar. \~ Antoinette Martinez True friends will understand if you need to say no.

They may also tell you how they feel but their action speak volumes in the other direction. \~ Glenda Colville Sometimes you find yourself asking, "What did I ever do to you that you hate me so much." Why I left a prior job, I got a new manager with hate in his heart and he would lash out to employees with total disregard. Glad to be gone! \~ David Velasquez ### My life is not perfect, but I'm Happy URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/my-life-is-not-perfect-but-im-happy/ Last updated: 2025-03-18T00:30:22.000Z It has been the way I have chosen to live my life.

Praise God! Always walk despite the distance. Winning despite obstacles, despite the disappointments. Dreaming, Smiling despite the anguish, believe above all else. Life is a continuous learning. New challenges continue. \~ Nilo Santiago I love my life, if we are not perfect we should not expect life to be.

To cry on their shoulder till you fall asleep, to have your stress alleviated. Sometimes talking about the problem doesn't do any good, doesn't ease the pain especially when you have been hurt brutally by other monsters, when you're no longer the same person who used to fight battles alone with no armor and sword. No one loves to be sad and weak, that's why we sometimes seek help from the one who is always ready to give a hand. It's hard when someone misunderstands you or underestimates what you've been through. And the hardest thing is to know that your comeback journey will take a longer time due to some circumstances. Never underestimate the power of a good word and a soft touch in bringing people back to life, in helping them to spread their wings and fly, in guiding them through their journey. But don't forget to tell them that you'll always be waiting for them to come back home. \~ Sulafah Sue Hypocrisy in others is an attempt to make us bitter angry and vindictive so we will be pulled down to their level. Don't let them win!!!

They have a double-edged sword! ### Thinking about people doing for you as you do for them URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/thinking-about-people-doing-for-you-as-you-do-for-them/ Last updated: 2025-02-16T00:30:14.000Z You are not responsible for anyone else behaviour.

Just do what is necessary and be thankful for all the blessings. \~ Leonora Digamon You can be kind without expecting anything in return.

You have your own work to do on yourself. \~ Linda Corey Some people are toxic. If you have given someone like this chance after chance after chance, and they are not changing, then you must do what you can to free yourself from that toxic person. It's called self preservation. Keeping yourself healthy and happy by letting them go is never wrong. And you don't need to explain that ever. \~ Desiree Danley This heavily depends on who they are, and what your relationship is with them, but even if they're not very close or significant to you I'd say without warning might be a bit too quick. I think you should explain it clearly to them once, then give a shorter reminder the 2nd time, the 3rd time it's done. Yes, people shouldn't just be given up on, but there is a point where we need to understand that we can use our time and emotions in a more useful manner. If, after discussing the behaviour with the other person, and providing encouragement to correct the behaviour without success, then, in these situations it is best to remove oneself from such people. We should not simply write people off, but we also need to protect our own well being. \~ Mamase Home ### The important thing in communication URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/the-important-thing-in-communication/ Last updated: 2025-02-08T00:30:49.000Z When you talk, you are only repeating what you already know, but if you listen, you may learn something new. \~ Dalai Lama The people who value you and care as much for you as they do themselves will be open and sharing their thoughts and feelings.

The best we can do is start with 'OURSELF' and accept each challenge as a learning experience, accept it, acknowledge it and do the best to work through it.

I suffer from chronic pain due to a back injury & fibromyalgia but I surround myself with people that keep me laughing. Being in pain may make it hard to laugh but if you allow yourself to laugh it can distract you from your pain. Just forcing your lips into a smile makes your brain think you are happy and sends out the feel good chemicals. It won't take away your pain but can put you in a better frame of mind to deal with the pain. I look forward to the day when there will be no more pain. \~ LaTaunya Patterson Just because you're in pain, doesn't mean you have to be a pain. ### Don't let yesterday take up too much of today URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/dont-let-yesterday-take-up-too-much-of-today/ Last updated: 2025-01-02T00:30:27.000Z You should only focus on the present not yesterday or tomorrow just take day by day and focus on yourself and life.

I woke up determined to feel better today! \~ Nicole Conwell I volunteer at an animal shelter and hanging out with the cats and kittens up for adoption every weekend always makes that day better than the day before especially when I watch a shy and scared kitten come to the front of its kennel just out of curiosity or the perfect cat or kitten paired off and adopted by the perfect human.

We may make wrong choices but God knows what is right for us and HE takes us to the right place. Trust HIM and keep the faith. HE IS The best PLANNER! We make decisions based on what we "think" is right. If it's a "right" one, then great! If it's not, then we'll surely learn from it.

Silence works when you realize there are some people for safety or sanity purposes that need to be avoided like the plague & that no amount of "talking it over" will make for a healthy relationship of any kind. Set the boundary with complete silence! You can be in the room with a lot of people if you're not communicating there is distance. You can only guess what the others are going through or thinking, sometimes guessing is worse than the truths. I can't have a relationship when there is only silence. ***Subscribe us at*** [***www.aspiringquotes.com***](https://www.aspiringquotes.com/enjoy-the-little-things-in-your-life/?ref=eyeopenerquotes.com) ### When you stop taking things personally URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/when-you-stop-taking-things-personally/ Last updated: 2024-12-16T00:30:36.000Z #### When you stop taking things personally...

I have come to the conclusion after many years of giving and not receiving much in return, that it's what we were born to do.

A decision. Not a feeling. It's evidenced in how a person treats you. Selfish people struggle with this. It is themselves they love and use people to feel good. That's when you know it's not love. They care more about being right, because that makes them feel good too and if being right feels better than feeling love, you are going to get burned. \~ Jennifer Duffy The ones that don't stop loving you is family. The rest really don't care and are a bunch of pretenders. Friends can say they care, but it means nothing until they prove it.

Everyone is perfect in their own imperfect ways. Like pieces of puzzle, we fit in! One does find that person cause initially in a relationship. Everything is beautiful and it seems like love will conquer all but it does not last. The only reason the over optimistic people believe that after years that person still thinks he/she is amazing is because the the other party simply ignore the mistakes and weakness. It's called a comfort zone, not love! \~ Benson Reuben ### Don't treat people as bad as they are URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/dont-treat-people-as-bad-as-they-are/ Last updated: 2024-11-16T00:30:04.000Z You can't expect people to do what you do and be like you so get over people not being there for you the same way.

It's about you coping with bad behaviour and not taking it on board. \~ Belinda Hobman These are words to live by. If you let someone else turn you into something you are not then they have quite simply manipulated you. Are you going to let them do that? If you are a good person, always be a good person. \~ Bill Owens You have be you not everyone is going to like you enjoy life to the fullest life is too short you never know what's going to happen the next day. \~ Mary Larsen ### Your situation is never permanent URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/your-situation-is-never-permanent/ Last updated: 2024-11-14T00:30:24.000Z When you're going through bad times, remember: It shall pass. The sadness, grief, pain, suffering will subside, cease or at least lessen with time. When you're going through great times, remember: it too shall pass.

Until then, I will not be defeated. \~ Jeannie Foley Sometimes defeat isn't what we think it is.

If they can't accept and appreciate you as you are, they're not the people you want in your life. You're worth more! \~ Libby Dee You can judge me all you want, just keep the verdict to yourself! If they don't value you then honestly they aren't worth your time! I'm guilty of this. For years I tried everything I could think of to gain approval. The harder I tried, the less people seemed to like me. At least I finally realized it Now to learn to please myself. It's a process. \~ Shawn Harvey ### If you spend your life trying to please people URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/if-you-spend-your-life-trying-to-please-people/ Last updated: 2024-09-18T00:30:20.000Z I don't think people become happy controlling others.

I have realized being a nice caring, loving, fair, nonjudgmental, hard working person got me know where in life. I keep trying because that's what they say but it keeps getting worse by the year. I don't and never understood why God let's bad things happen to good people.

Some pretend to be your friend but talk bad about you with their friends. \~ Melyssa McEwen That very thing happened to me about 20 years ago & it's happening again now. Both instances caused by only 1 person who had enough people on her/his side to believe what she/he wanted to say about me. It was worse this time because some were mutual friends who sided with the "talker" & now will not talk to me or have anything to do with me. It can really do a number to your soul & mental state if not handled correctly. \~ Tina Carreon The best thing you can do for yourself is to remove yourself from the situation and those people. Life is to short to be fighting unnecessary conflicts with those kind of people. Overtime they will rob you of your self esteem and you will become just like them. \~ Rosalie Carew ### You can say something hurtful in ten seconds URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/you-can-say-something-hurtful-in-ten-seconds/ Last updated: 2024-09-08T00:30:10.000Z Words can hurt, but unforgiveness is by far worse. Silence is golden. The power of life and death lies in the tongue. Spoken words are like broken egg(s) and cannot be retrieved. A wise man guards his tongue and is quick to hear but slow to speak. \~ Tunde Adewusi It depends on what you will say because sometimes we have to say something hurtful to help them to see the truth but if the intentions is to insult and to allege someone that hurt will wounds and leave a scars in heart. \~ Rowena Esportuno ### Are you looking for that one person to make you happy?

We must choose wisely. \~ David Flint You should always love yourself, but it's always nice to be loved like you love by someone else and share all those special moments with someone. \~ Donald Bascle ### Everything you do is based on the choices you make URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/everything-you-do-is-based-on-the-choices-you-make/ Last updated: 2024-09-04T00:30:52.000Z There are people who have gone from homeless to a full scholarship to Harvard. People do struggle but you can overcome. Victim or victor, you decide. \~ Tania Gorham An alcoholic, physically & mentally abusive, gang affiliated in and out of prison and poor father raises two sons. One of brothers ends up in prison and the other one ends up very successful . They interview both brothers. They asked the one in jail why. He responded "With a dad like mine how could I not end up in prison". They interviewed the successful brother and asked the same question. He responded "With a dad like mine how could I not be successful". It is not anyone's fault if they are born poor or uneducated or born in an abusive home or without benefit but it is their fault if they die that way and then leave their family to as well. \~ Matthew Byars We all had things happen in our lives grow up and go forward stop blaming everyone else for your own problems. \~ Bob Smith ### Don't betray someone's trust URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/dont-betray-someones-trust/ Last updated: 2024-09-02T00:30:26.000Z Trust is like a glass, once broken can never be the same again. Some think they can break your trust, be forgiven, and the trust will be back to normal. It's not as simple as that - if you want to regain someone's trust, you make the effort, and you're patient. If you broke the trust it's not the other's fault, and you have to give them time, and prove you care about rebuilding the relationship, and that you won't betray them again. Trust takes a long time to build, and a second to destroy - so it can't be 'expected' to be rebuilt any quicker than it was the first time, as now there's good reason to be cautious. \~ Libby Dee ### We all have unfair situations & things we don't like URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/we-all-have-unfair-situations-things-we-dont-like/ Last updated: 2024-08-30T00:30:00.000Z **Anger, frustration, disappointment, all are human emotions to go through and feel, but let it not overpower or consume us into being the same as what tampered with our feelings. \~ Donna Jones** **Holding anger & bitterness will give more power to that person who hurt you but mostly, it destroys your inner self! Never hold grudges, forgive & move on to a better present & future. It doesn't mean you have to allow the same people back in your life who constantly hurt you. \~ Gwenn Jenkins** ### Stop thinking too much in life URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/stop-thinking-too-much-in-life/ Last updated: 2024-08-28T00:30:14.000Z Over thinking kills your happiness! Thinking too much triggers our mind. Have a nature walk, get unwind and be free. Stop stressing yourself! My way to stop thinking is "sleep", turn on some music and sleep it off for awhile, wake up with new thoughts and new outlook in life and maybe some answers. \~ Ruby Pulu ### You can only control how you react to it URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/you-can-only-control-how-you-react-to-it/ Last updated: 2024-08-26T00:30:58.000Z If you're able to take that step back in the moment, then it's a chance to not let them control you. They're looking for a reaction. If you have that chance to reflect before reacting, then you can surprise them, remain calm or even kill them with kindness, but unfortunately very often in the moment, it's hard to take that step back. Sometimes we just react and sometimes it's quite okay to do so. At times people need to be told what they're doing/saying isn't okay. Ideally we'd take the time to word it in a careful way, but life isn't always perfect like that. We all make mistakes and we have honest reactions to things. We should stay true to those reactions, they're a part of who we are. The important thing is if someone keeps treating you in a disgusting manner, maybe it's time to change your reaction to it and walk away from it. Sometimes peace is a better way! \~ Libby Dee People can only upset you when you let them! When you allow someone to anger you, you are giving them way too much power. Sometimes, they are provoking your reaction to make themselves feel better in some way, but no matter what the reason, it's your choice to accept/ believe what they say. When you accept their negative feedback, you degrade your own self worth. I choose to avoid negative people if/ when possible. They're like psychic vampires. I try to be positive! \~ Julie Ann Horton ### You are never too old to set another goal URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/you-are-never-too-old-to-set-another-goal/ Last updated: 2024-08-24T00:30:50.000Z Keep dreaming, keep working on new projects, keep active, get involved with the young people in your family, and above all laugh at whatever life throws at you. Each of us has our own dream, so follow your gut feeling to achieve a new dream. ### The more chances you give someone in life URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/the-more-chances-you-give-someone-in-life/ Last updated: 2024-08-22T00:30:18.000Z I gave too many chances and then finally said enough. Couldn't be happier and I finally know the people that do love and respect me and my feelings. Sadly for the people that treat others with disrespect they never see what they are. I'll never let anyone treat me badly again. 12 years was enough! \~ Sonya Harley Too many chances hoping the behavior will change is so damaging to me. It's like walking into a prison cell with the person who is imprisoned by their own distorted thinking. I'm free now, but the person I hoped for is still living the lie they made up all by themselves. It hurt to let go but the results of peace of mind and relief from the constant 2nd chances that always resulted in pain for me is incredible. I'm not obligated to let someone use and abuse me just because they're family. I can't change them, I can't cure them and I can't control them leaving two choices. Let go with love or continue to enable and take the pain I know will come again and again. \~ Kathy Ross Stand up to those that don't respect you by respecting yourself. Forgive them, but don't associate with them until they can respect and accept you for who you are. ### Don't let anyone make you feel bad for changing URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/dont-let-anyone-make-you-feel-bad-for-changing/ Last updated: 2024-08-20T00:30:03.000Z Don't judge a person if you think he/she has changed. We need to exercise our empathy & positive thinking. Maybe they are experiencing something that we don"t know. \~ Vilma Beck I've been so judged and belittled for growing into who I really am. I have that right, and no on has the right to judge me for it. My change has been for the better but, some won't let you change. They keep you in a perpetual state of what they think you are. \~ Vivian Costner ### Another person or even controlling your emotions URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/another-person-or-even-controlling-your-emotions/ Last updated: 2024-08-18T00:30:33.000Z We need to be responsible for our own happiness! The only time I get the inner peace is when the time I'm praying and tell to our God all the feelings like when I feel angry, sad, happy and when I'm in love with somebody. These feelings I cannot hide to God.

They are much more comfortable climbing up themselves. That why they can find their own way. The best a strong person can do is suggest a way to gain strength for them.

Things will never be the same once the heart is broken. The only thing you can do is hold on to what you have left and believe in yourself. Be smart. Be wise. You can't always fix what's been broken over and over. Don't allow yourself to be hurt more than what you have been through. Don't ever run back. When you do, you give the other person power over you and from then on they'll know you'll run back at the snap of their finger. You'll become a convenience to them. Nobody wants to be just a convenience and not be respected. \~ Emma Salinas ### The true meaning of friendship URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/the-true-meaning-of-friendship/ Last updated: 2024-06-30T00:30:40.000Z Real friends are your family. They have your back and give you helpful advice. They love you through think and thin. We should always hope to have our friends become like family and our family become like friends! I've known my best friend for ten years and she's a part of my family. Just like I'm a part of her family. I feel that people don't understand the true meaning of friendship, so it's voluntary. For those that love and care about you, as well as being supportive of your dreams are the ones worth keeping in your life! \~ Latrice Dowe ### Look for something positive in each day URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/look-for-something-positive-in-each-day/ Last updated: 2024-06-28T00:30:18.000Z Radiate positive vibes everyday!

It doesn't matter how small, just moving forward always. \~ Denise Hecht Always struggle our long journey in life. Everyday is another chance of God's grace.

Loving the wrong person is like a hell. It gives so much pain and heartache. It's better to be alone than to suffer the pain. \~ Thimama Morukhu Priceless things are easy to get. The only problem is inside of us. Example: expensive things we spend alot of money for that. It shows that we do everything to get what we want spending everything we have. Now, love should be easy, cos' there is nothing that stop us to do it. Freely we can love, love and love! Let's learn to love more! No price for it! \~ H P Silva Giving of our time is more precious than anything we can buy. Think of the difference between a bouquet of roses seen in a floral shop versus a bouquet of wildflowers that he selected by actually walking through this beautiful field and hand selecting a beautiful bouquet because he loves you that much or instead of choosing an already printed card that he signs and places in an envelope he takes the time to write you a hand written note. These are the things that mean so much. Priceless and yet a love that beautiful will last a lifetime. \~ Kathryn Parker ### One person who can make you happy in your life URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/one-person-who-can-make-you-happy-in-your-life/ Last updated: 2024-06-22T00:30:57.000Z You yourself can only make you happy! If you can't be happy within yourself, you will never be happy with all those around you. Positive starts in your own head and heart. \~ Diane Sickles One can be happy but still want to share, create memories and love. Most women want to love and be loved. God bless you! \~ Margie Ramirez You can find happiness in yourself, but what is the point if you are the only one to truly appreciate it? We're social creatures by nature, wanting to find someone to share your life and experiences with is not a terrible pursuit. If we were meant to be completely solitary and content about it, I doubt our social or biological design would have turned out like this. I personally believe you should have the ability to be happy and content in yourself before you share life with someone, but not just stop at being happy alone. \~ Julian Reyes ### Never push a loyal person in your life URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/never-push-a-loyal-person-in-your-life/ Last updated: 2024-06-20T00:30:24.000Z Some people we really love do everything to be unloved by us and then they say: "I was right, I knew you would leave me" But they don't understand, that they are those ones who left us first without letting us any chance to be there. Sometimes we don't have any choice, we have to let them go and live our lives without them. If we don't do this, we'll be sad all the time because we love people who don't love us. \~ Aurélie Trobrillant Love and loyalty is a two way street and should (eventually) build gateways of respect in both parties. When that respect is continually torn down or disregarded then the person being loyal is no longer doing anything for that person. The loyal person is not needed. The opposite of love is not hate, it's I can no longer do (have) anything for you. \~ Colorpirate Kate There is always a limit to how much a person can take to be pushed away. ### People who judge you only serve to sentence themselves URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/people-who-judge-you-only-serve-to-sentence-themselves/ Last updated: 2024-06-18T00:30:06.000Z Insecure & jealous people always do that! What really gets me is when they judge me for something then go and do something similar themselves and it's supposed to be okay. \~ Joy Leland It doesn't matter what other people think of me, it's what I think of myself that matters. \~ Susan Dumas Particularly when they judge you on things that happened in the past, it's not relevant to you now, and they're only trapping themselves in the past by holding such judgments. So let them judge, and move on, knowing things have changed, and you deserve another chance in life, even if they aren't willing to give it. \~ Libby Dee ### Just because someone doesn't give you credit URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/just-because-someone-doesnt-give-you-credit/ Last updated: 2024-06-16T00:30:43.000Z Do your best for yourself, not for credit from anyone else.

Don't worry about what others think, just worry about pleasing God and making him first in your life! ### Don’t think pain goes away URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/dont-think-pain-goes-away/ Last updated: 2024-06-14T00:30:43.000Z Pain is always there no matter how hard we try to overcome it, but if we just offer it to God it eases us a bit.

Pain comes in so many forms and it's inevitable, just decide how to deal with it to become the best that you can be. \~ Bridget Mathes ### Apologize for unintentionally hurting someone URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/apologize-for-unintentionally-hurting-someone/ Last updated: 2024-06-12T00:30:09.000Z You should never have to apologize for being yourself and if someone wants you to then they don't accept you. ### You don't need a certain number of friends in your life URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/you-dont-need-a-certain-number-of-friends-in-your-life/ Last updated: 2024-06-10T00:30:48.000Z Notice that the more friends you have the more problems you will have also especially if they aren't true friends just bystanders who are waiting for something to go wrong. \~ Margaret Smith ### You are not in competition with anyone URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/you-are-not-in-competition-with-anyone/ Last updated: 2024-06-08T00:30:43.000Z I cannot be someone I am not. Being me is enough, believe me that a hard job enough. I am me, love me, hate me, leave me, but I am still going to be me, that's me. \~ Arlene Macdonald I have said this pretty much my entire life. Why do people have to try so hard to make others believe they are better. Success is a fluid concept. I have my own terms of success. I don't try to make others feel less about themselves because of my feelings or belief's of what that is. Just be! \~ Michele Spinale Some people no matter what they have got in life are never happy. Happiness comes within, to appreciate the little things in life. Compete against no one, just improve to be a better person within, learn life's lessons, learn to love your self. Don't depend on anyone to make you happy. You only have one life, do what makes you happy. Do not regret, learn from mistakes. Trust your intuitions. Ignore the negativity in others and forgive. Don't blame anyone for your unhappiness. Don't let others bring you down. One life, live it. You are in control of your own destiny. \~ Donna Whyte ### Choose your friends with caution URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/choose-your-friends-with-caution/ Last updated: 2024-06-06T00:30:13.000Z Right choices give you success & happiness! ### Think twice before reserving a space in your heart for someone URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/think-twice-before-reserving-a-space-in-your-heart-for-someone/ Last updated: 2024-06-04T00:30:58.000Z Forgive yourself for the many negative and positive judgments you still hold on to as comfort zones, and which prevent you from being in peace, joyful and happy with yourself and the people around you. \~ Michael Jacobs The day will/has come when we all just give up. We can only reach out for so long. Eventually we all run out of ways to try to reach those who are special to us. \~ Dave Thomas Some people want to be a part of your life just so they can exploit you. Having this experience, its really difficult to trust people again. \~ Justin Chen ### Don't run after people to prove that you matter URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/dont-run-after-people-to-prove-that-you-matter/ Last updated: 2024-06-02T00:30:55.000Z I have tried and tried and I feel like I look like the idiot going after someone who don't want to be bothered with me, so I won't chase anyone anymore, if they want me in there life then they can put me there, I am tired of fighting for a spot. \~ Janet Pipis Having a small number is better because you don't have all these people tugging at you. I feel people are their worst when they ask you for money or ask you for favors knowing very well that they have no intention to repay or interest in meeting your needs. Claws come out over the holidays, too. Many want to guilt trip you for you to provide their needs or bring up old stuff that is meant to hurt you emotionally. I much rather do without that nuisance! \~ Sumy Guzman If someone wants to be in our life, I welcome them. If not, then I wish them well on their journey. No time for those who are indifferent. \~ Andrea Manfredo Don't chase the people if they are not ready. After all I realized that's not worth it. I have learned my lesson. \~ Nana Ly I love the way I live. I don't run after people at all. I grew up being taught by my parents to stand on my own and self-sufficient and never to depend on someone else to make my life worth living. If the right man for me comes along, good, but if none, live and enjoy life anyway! \~ Belen Hidalgo Chase your dreams not people, feel confident when things gets wrong, when it's a loosing case argues and fights careless all these behaviors, it's a first step for you to withdraw, think twice, no one is too busy. If someone wants you in his life he will enter you to share happiness and sadness times. You don't have to fight to get a spot. ### Showing your emotions to someone URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/showing-your-emotions-to-someone/ Last updated: 2024-05-30T00:30:41.000Z Not everyone can handle sensitive people. It's their loss anyway. The mental institutions are full of people who don't show emotion. Let it all go if you feel like it. It's better to be sensitive and emotional then cold hearted and selfish. \~ Christine Marinacci I've been chastised my entire life by my parents for being emotional. They see it as a defect. It's taken me years to get over being put down for being emotional. I now know it's a sign of compassion and caring that they will never get. \~ Jennifer Jones Crying is a natural thing that happens when someone is going through a sad circumstance and sometimes it may be over something happy. We all have our own way of showing our emotions and it goes to show that we are kind, caring and compassionate and have a big heart, so don't ever be ashamed or embarrassed for crying after all we are human. It's a natural reaction! \~ Linda MacDonald I'm a sensitive and emotional 44 year old man. Have been told by friends and relatives to be a stronger person by being less caring to others and that way people won't take advantage that way. Sorry I can't be something I'm not will not change who I am. I care about family and friends and people I don't know. This is a strength not a weakness. \~ Shaun Evans Just because your a man doesn't mean that you have to be a rock all of the time. I have a huge heart and I am a very passionate man. I think it makes me stronger. I may bend, but I won't break. I will make a stand when the time calls for it. But I sensitive enough to give you a shoulder to cry on. That's the definition of a man. Thanks for my mom teaching me there's a time and place for both. \~ Steve Malone ### What truly matters is do you have real friends URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/what-truly-matters-is-do-you-have-real-friends/ Last updated: 2024-05-28T00:30:38.000Z If you go through life and have just one really good friend, you are blessed. I know many people who have lots of acquaintances who they call friends but they have no real friends. Friends are people who will be there for you through thick and thin. \~ Scott Chastain Friends & family are what matters most through both good & bad times!

The way people treat others is how they feel about themselves. It is so important to treat our children positively, say positive words, act positively so that they will in turn treat, say & do the same to themselves. \~ Jaye Chih ### Dear karma, I have a list of people that you missed URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/dear-karma-i-have-a-list-of-people-that-you-missed/ Last updated: 2024-02-29T00:30:50.000Z It's going to strike at the perfect time when you least expect it. Trust! Karma got it covered. You may never know how, but it's always done. \~ Shannon Bobo Karma doesn't work on our time, Karma knows! ### You owe no explanations for your flaws URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/you-owe-no-explanations-for-your-flaws/ Last updated: 2024-02-28T00:30:32.000Z To "justify" mistakes is NOT the same as apologizing for them. I will apologize for my mistakes that have brought pain to others because attempting to justify my mistakes is no excuse for those mistakes. \~ Courtney Waggener We have to accept the past. We cannot change, why go back. Learn from it and you will be able to prosper, even faster than you realize. Move forward, stop looking back. \~ Lucinda Canales If I owe anything for what I have done it would be when my actions cause harm to another. Even then though, it would just be an admittance of wrong and an apology then a conscious effort on my part not to repeat the act. You can't do anything about the past other than to use it to make yourself a better person today. \~ Tiffany Freiman Life is a journey and we have to face everything we come across with, that shows we are stronger than what we think! ### Time is like a river URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/time-is-like-a-river/ Last updated: 2024-02-26T00:30:39.000Z Don't worry about what other people think. Just do what feels right for you and be happy. Time is look like knife if you don't cut it will cut you. Yesterday can't be the same tomorrow. You should enjoy each passing moment. Precisely you can't pull back time just make the most out of it! There is no real second chance because life, people and situations change. ### It's always better to hurt with the truth URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/its-always-better-to-hurt-with-the-truth/ Last updated: 2024-02-24T00:30:33.000Z The truth is always better than a lie. I have faith, I can handle the truth! \~ Shirley Ramadani I accept the truth is painful than to become a prisoners of a lie. \~ Elysa Amiag When someone tell you the true, they’re your true friends. It doesn’t matter, it mean you know them. You can recover from mistakes, violating trust can last forever. ### There's no need to rush over anything URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/theres-no-need-to-rush-over-anything/ Last updated: 2024-02-22T00:30:20.000Z It does not matter in life for something to happen as quickly as possible, but that it happens at the right time. This is a very big difference. \~ Daniel Konkol We use our time perfectly, we take time, we don't rush because we should use our time free, for our goal in life, for the future use. ### When you know you have healed in your life? URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/when-you-know-you-have-healed-in-your-life/ Last updated: 2024-02-20T00:30:57.000Z God is so good, he uses this same story of yours to help you grow, to turn you into a better person and to bless you more than you can ever imagine. What doesn't kill us, makes us stronger, there is chapters that always make me cry but not the whole story! Everyday is different! Find a happy place in your mind and try to think of it when you feel lost or upset e.g. A waterfall with a big rose quartz rock sitting next to you put all your sadness into a box and think in your mind that you are throwing it away and say to yourself I will not carry this pain with me any more. It helped me! \~ Chez Ann ### Whatever that tried to hurt you URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/whatever-that-tried-to-hurt-you/ Last updated: 2024-02-18T00:30:58.000Z I call mine battle scars because I earned them. Not from violence or abuse, Accidents. I earned them because of pain & surgeries. \~ Karan Cain My scars are easy to see not pretty to look at to others but i see them always. they are part of the person I have grown to be. These visible scars are small compared to the scars that were put in my heart that took many years to heal. I am so blessed today, to have survived! My feet were burned very badly when I was two years old. It took a long time for me to stop being ashamed, but now I don't hide, I wear my sandals with pride and it's my testimony. \~ Lisa Jones ### Those who betrayed you in your life URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/those-who-betrayed-you-in-your-life/ Last updated: 2024-02-16T00:30:22.000Z Someone with a good heart is always trustworthy, kind, loving and caring, a rare person to find. Someone who loves others and hates no one. They tend to be the ones we would never expect to find and when we cross paths with them. We don't know how to react or reach out to them because they are so genuine/authentic and confident that it scares a lot of people. For example, when they look or talk to someone, they look for the best qualities in that person, because of who they are. Good hearted people are the true keepers, where we might come across them once in a lifetime. They are hard to find nowadays. Characteristics of good hearted people: honest, truthful, trustworthy, open minded, authentic/genuine, patient, respectful, unselfish, responsible,generous, gentle, kind and caring, confident, pleasant, self controlled, humble, brave, strong, good sense of humor smile and above all loving. \~ Laura Toma Possessing a good heart, we hope to find it in others. Sometimes it's not found, more like unkindness. Wish them well and continue on with your good heart. Never let adversity or bitterness change you! \~ Gloria Easley If you let evil change you , it wins. Being deceived by people doesn't make you any less of a person, it makes them less of a good person. \~ Mike Smith We believe in others and expect the same honesty and loyalty but sometimes we don't receive the same, but at the end, even though hurts you. We still think there is good people with good heart in this world. You just need to be patient! \~ Patti Garcia You can have a good heart and still see the bad and feel the sting of betrayal, but having a good heart and loving enough to forgive, that's what matters. \~ Suzanne Garrett Forgive yourself! Being hurt is another opportunity for us to love even deeper not just for the other person, but for ourselves and in my experience, I found it wasn't possible to love the other person until I took care of myself first. No need to force yourself now. \~ Susan Lee ### Don't let anyone spoil all of the good things you have URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/dont-let-anyone-spoil-all-of-the-good-things-you-have/ Last updated: 2024-02-14T00:30:48.000Z Negative thoughts have negative outcomes & negative people also. Look forward don't look back, if you want to be happy. Take the time and good things in life. That's what makes you happy. Let you be loved and life will be awesome. You are in the best situation right now. You are in the present. It's a gift and the Lord is looking after your future. Choose the best things in life that make us happy. ### People who are there for you on your darkest days URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/people-who-are-there-for-you-on-your-darkest-days/ Last updated: 2024-02-12T00:30:25.000Z If you can't handle me at my worst you don't deserve me at my best. You can't chose 'blood' family. However you can chose your friends. When you have friends that are true you become related in spirit, that's even better then blood, because spirit is feeling. \~ Bas Darkone ### It's better to have nobody URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/its-better-to-have-nobody/ Last updated: 2024-02-10T00:30:23.000Z Letting go of the wrong people makes room for the right people to be in your life. I would rather be alone any day, than be with somebody is doesn't want to be there. That would be so miserable. Find a life that you can be happy alone so that when you do meet someone who wants to be in a relationship with you, you can share that happiness with. Life is too short to waste it. \~ Brigitte Nicole Being alone is way better than being with the person who is just physically with you while their soul and mind are somewhere else. ### Cutting people from your life does not mean you hate them URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/cutting-people-from-your-life-does-not-mean-you-hate-them/ Last updated: 2024-02-08T00:30:30.000Z Why would you want to keep people in your life that don't respect you. People that will not respect you does not make you happy. I removed my negative toxic family from my life over 10 years ago and it was and is the best decision I ever made. Along with many others, I feel so much lighter now. \~ Tara Adams People that judge & negative people are toxic. You are much better off without them, so many times, they are the ones with the issues. They make their lives hell and everyone that comes in contact with them. You need to respect yourself (as well as others) and when they don't respect you. You need to get them away from you. Life is too short to surround yourself with hypocrites and gossipers. Instead it is best to pray for them and cut your association with them. Enjoy life and be happy! ### If you are depressed you are living in the past URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/if-you-are-depressed-you-are-living-in-the-past/ Last updated: 2024-02-06T00:30:32.000Z Depression is a brain chemical imbalance. In the past I was lost in my mind. I would vacillate between suicidal depression and emotional ecstasy; and back again... within a period of minutes. I was eventually diagnosed with "dissociative disorder; with bipolar tendencies." I've never been on medication. I simply learned - over time - to control my mind's focus. Anyone that thinks it's not that simple, frankly has no understanding of how the mind works. Anyone that thinks that such a concept is "that easy" simply has no understanding of what it means to control one's focus. It is that simple. It is not remotely easy. If you apologize for your view then you are at a very low level of understanding anything about the mind or spirit. You don't even have confidence and integrity at the most simplest of levels. If you take offense to the opinion of another person then all of these lessons are beyond your capacity to process; in that the subconscious mind is compelled to deflect anything that is viewed as a threat to the image of self. Be well! \~ Robert Eicher With my experience and thinking about it, I do think about the past a lot. Those who I thought cared about me turn their backs on me, I then ruminate the reasons and why's and make myself sick thinking, thinking about it. I then get anxious about things and think so much about how the bill will get paid and so forth. Instead I'm learning to just let it be and let God. Makes life and myself a lot more peaceful. \~ Tara Adams ### Sometimes you don't always need a plan in life URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/sometimes-you-dont-always-need-a-plan-in-life/ Last updated: 2024-02-04T00:30:24.000Z Plans usually don't work, because the one who thinks has control, doesn't realize that he cannot control the one thing he never had control over ever! \~ Izabella Spero Stay calm and wait! One door closed, wait for another opens. God's plan is not always what we think or want. Sometimes just trusting can be tough, but if you can just let go of past hurts and struggles and just trust, you will free up your heart and start seeing the blessings that you do have. \~ Matthew Dutschke ### The person who has been there for everyone else URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/the-person-who-has-been-there-for-everyone-else/ Last updated: 2024-02-02T00:30:40.000Z It seems to me that every time people around have trouble, they instinctively come to me, knowing that if I can't help, at least I'll listen and console them patiently. Yet, when I need person like that, hard to find people around most of the time. \~ Diana Detcheva People seem to think you are strong all the time and don't need anyone to be there for them. \~ Cath Dunn Sometimes people should stop focusing so much on their own problems. Develop more empathy towards others. You are not the only one who have problems. \~ Susan Tee ### Next time you think of beautiful things URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/next-time-you-think-of-beautiful-things/ Last updated: 2024-01-30T00:30:29.000Z I always do in front of my mirror, looking back at myself, talking to myself and telling myself I am very beautiful and gorgeous every morning/day. It's not an arrogance thing, it is having genuine, sincere, honest and non-arrogant love for yourself, coupled with humility. We all should, it increases your self-esteem and self-confidence. \~ Shaheen Ahmed ### I wish I was the same soul I used to be URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/i-wish-i-was-the-same-soul-i-used-to-be/ Last updated: 2024-01-28T00:30:06.000Z Every year 90% of the cells of your body are replaced, so you cannot be the person you were last year. It's still in there, only very deep and well hidden so you can't see it any more. I keep it locked away in a safe place, protected and resting unused. \~ Sheila Bright I wish I was the same soul I used to be. It will never exist again! \~ Movita Delaney I had a lot of changes in my life, so I no longer look at my soul to be the same like the past. I still looking forward to the future to change me back to happier times. \~ Frank Pagnotta Unfortunately, our past had a clean soul like a child. I rather be childlike and free, than wise and bitter. Wise and clean soul like a child would be ideal. Don't lose the happy child within your soul. \~ Leigh Rivera ### When you made someone's day just a little bit better URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/when-you-made-someones-day-just-a-little-bit-better/ Last updated: 2024-01-26T00:30:23.000Z If you truly feel it in your soul, that you did make someones day better, believe me it will come back to you. Be patient and don't give up. You are being tested. Smile at everyone in your path. Little acts of kindness. Pick up litter, hold door for someone. Quit with road rage makes you feel pretty good. \~ Tena Marshall Making a good day for some one else is making a good day for yourself! ### Some people are not good for you URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/some-people-are-not-good-for-you/ Last updated: 2024-01-24T00:30:44.000Z Some people come in your life with a hidden agenda to try and deeply hurt you and you never get the answers. You never understand why? When you have no expectations in people you are never hurt, you are more disappointed when they turn out to be just like all the other users, takers, and emotional abusers you've encountered before. You try to have faith in people. However, it boils down to they simply don't love themselves. Nobody who loves themselves and loves, cares, and respects you and others will go out their way to play mind games and cause you any amount of hurt. None! I say keep hope and love in yourself alive. God sees everything they do and did and he knows your heart, even when you made a bad judgment call to trust somebody and let them close to you. If you know you've been good to people and never used or done anything to them and they try and treat you as beneath them or less than what you deserve, just let them go. If they died today that's on them where they end up, let them reap what they sow.Your job is to just forgive quickly, perhaps reach out, but if you don't see them even try to make a mends, then you know that was some pure evil doing. \~ Bell MsKimberly Accept it and see it as a gift for ourself. Every person we meet in our life has a reason, neither it is a negative or positive one. That moment we need that meeting for our inner growing and life lessons! That's the way I see it now. So i'm grateful, everything has a reason, every setback has it's own blessings. \~ Mich Marsoul I just learned that no matter what age or stage of life you're in, there is always new things to learn about life and the people you meet along the way. Some will enhance you but unfortunately, most will destroy you. \~ Shirley Lozon ### Strong people will stop trying if they feel unwanted URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/strong-people-will-stop-trying-if-they-feel-unwanted/ Last updated: 2024-01-22T00:30:25.000Z Tired of waiting for things to change. I can't allow my life to pass me by while they take their sweet time getting themselves motivated. I have needs and expectations that deserve to be taken seriously. \~ Sarah Yeager Once you feel and see that someone is avoiding you, step aside. Keep your dignity and quietly walk away without making a fool of yourself though it's not easy at times but try in order to save yourself from more hurt. \~ Nomfundo Majiba Walk away doesn't mean you don't love or value those time you had each other! Its just simply mean, you want them to be happy even if your not anymore part of it. \~ Japhet Querobin It's hard to hold on and try to fix it, it's even harder to let go, walking away can be really hard if you care about someone, but not everything can be fixed, not everything is worth fighting for. \~ Ghada Laribi ### It's not how big the house is URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/its-not-how-big-the-house-is/ Last updated: 2024-01-20T00:30:18.000Z Home is where the heart is. A family that stay together is happy as long as there is love and respect to each other! A house is made of wood & beams. A home is made of love & dreams. Happiness is not having what you want, but wanting what you have. I feel when you are happy you don't have to emphasize it so much because you feel it internally. When you have to tell the world how happy your life is, it suggests it's not really that way and it's more hype and show. \~ Meryle Carr A big house doesn't bring happiness, a home is happy when there is peace and love. Unfortunately, many people get the house and not the home. They wonder why they are not 'happy' after they have gotten the house and everything else they were after when in truth and in fact if there is no love and loved ones to share it with. There will be no home and nothing else will make them happy no matter what they accomplish. \~ Kamaldaye Samlal ### Respect people with real intentions URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/respect-people-with-real-intentions/ Last updated: 2024-01-18T00:30:57.000Z Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love. \~ Sony Kharoud Truth is good. Life is too short to tell lies. If someone is doing things that they must lie to others about then those lies will be exposed soon enough and once the lies are revealed that's a person I decide not to keep in my life. I want only real people that can be themselves without lying. Lies only cause pain and I prefer joy and transparency. In this life one thing I know is that I have no control over other. I can only try to control who I allow in my life and how I respond to it. I must still show grace to liars, although I do not need to keep them close. \~ Natalie Rios I appreciate genuine and honest individuals. I feel blessed and grateful to have them in my life or even just cross my path. I respect everyone regardless of who they are as a person and regardless of how they've treated me. To respect means to respect everyone and everything not only a select few. \~ Sibel Mordeniz Real intentions! Real communication! Being real is where it all begins. Straight to the point. No time for lies or being fake. Don't waste anyone's time. Respect is earned. You don't get respect just by being present. Your character and your intentions determine if you get respected. So be real and have good intentions. Respect may come your way. Be true! Be you! Be real! \~ Crystal Wade ### Sometimes you never know the value of a moment URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/sometimes-you-never-know-the-value-of-a-moment/ Last updated: 2024-01-16T00:30:51.000Z Treasure every moment. So many precious memories I would love to have back just for a while. \~ Cheryl Finchum If I could turn back to the most precious moments in my life I would live them over and over again because the most precious moments in my life were the happiest in my life. \~ Myra Patillo I came home some day to find out that a person we knew well had passed away. He was 48\. Time is so valuable friends. Don't waste it on things that are not important. Let's spend more time seeing all the good. His obituary said no flowers or gifts just go out and hug your child or grandchild. I would go one step further, go out and hug all the people close to you, and maybe a few who look like they need it! \~ Sue Ann Live everyday as if it will be your last as every moment is precious. All memories are so valuable and precious. Hold on to them as you can never be able to go back to experience them again. It's like when you are experiencing life's joys you are too busy to fully enjoy, so when you have a look back, you can appreciate it even more because you are at a slower pace and the memory is bittersweet. \~ Joyce Harbin ### Not everyone who smiles at you is your friend URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/not-everyone-who-smiles-at-you-is-your-friend/ Last updated: 2024-01-14T00:30:53.000Z Trust no one until they prove themselves, and even then maintain a healthy skepticism! Most people are only your "friend" when it's convenient for them. You think they are your friend but they turnout to be SNAKES! Talking about our problems only magnifies them if you do it more than once! I never tell my problem to anyone I will stay on safe side. \~ Loulou Fazah You have to be careful. Some people pretend to be your friend, but will gossip about you the moment you are out of earshot. Be careful who you choose as close friends. The beauty of getting older is that you can make that choice freely. \~ Sharon Simpson ### Losing someone who doesn't respect you URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/losing-someone-who-doesnt-respect-you/ Last updated: 2024-01-12T00:30:34.000Z Rejection can be a form of protection. Love is the other name of respect. If you can't respect your loved ones, then you don't deserve to be loved. So, if someone is not appreciating your effort or respecting you. Leave them because not everyone you lose is a loss. ### Two Hardest things to find URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/two-hardest-things-to-find/ Last updated: 2024-01-10T00:30:56.000Z It has been my experience that about 99 percent of the people you meet in life, are only around when all is sunny and bright or when there is something in it for them. In difficult times, you are mostly on your own. That has been the most difficult part of being a human being for me. So whoever that 1 percent is, hold them close and cherish them. \~ Anne McDougle Actually, they are easy to find because they find you. However, we often fail to notice and cherish them because we take them for granted and run after people who don't care about us. So open your eyes and start recognizing your true friends and you will see that you are surrounded by much more love than you ever imagined. \~ Helena Winawa **Friends are in three different groups:1) friends of tongue 2) friends of bread 3) friends of soul Try to not see before friends of tongue since they want to misuse And give some bread to friends of bread since they want your bread** **But do try to keep friend of soul if that friend would found.** We expect true love and loyal friends, but we need to ask ourselves are we true to our partners or the person whom we claim to love or the one we are seeing? If the answer is no, then we have no right to true love and loyalty because two people have to meet each other exactly half way and only then it can be found. Wanting it and doing no effort will get you nothing. \~ Gurleen Sahney ### Admire people who went through a lot URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/admire-people-who-went-through-a-lot/ Last updated: 2024-01-08T00:30:41.000Z Without moaning about the storms while being humble about getting through them. Those people become more stronger to fight all the struggles in life. Face the new life with full of sunshine, just have faith in God. Put God first in all the things we do. In the shadows of darkness I stand in the light. Sometimes you just have to smile even though you are going through crap, been there, going through it now. \~ Christine Lavery ### How you can make a difference in someone's life? URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/how-you-can-make-a-difference-in-someones-life/ Last updated: 2024-01-06T00:30:54.000Z Being caring is more important than being rich. However, the beauty in the heart not in the face. I would say that our world is fine because they are some diamonds between a billion pieces of metals. Be true to yourself and enjoy what you have and be satisfied on it. Caring is having to let apart of your relationship (marriage) I'm going to say. Take abreak. Myself feeling like a distraction, or getting into her pathway seeking to find her beautiful self, just wanting to see that amazing everyday smile knowing she's loved & happy through it all. \~ Lance Burbank ### You will get there when you are meant to get there URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/you-will-get-there-when-you-are-meant-to-get-there/ Last updated: 2024-01-04T00:30:48.000Z It does not mean that a person should not dream and try for it. So dream high, try your level best and make efforts to afford it and then relax, breathe and be patient. Rest the universe or god will look after to reward your efforts. \~ Narsimha Goud It is hard to be patient and not give up on certain dreams when you see virtually everyone around you receiving what you want, and not even caring much about it, taking it for granted. I have had a certain wish since I was a kid (and I'm 32 now), and I am very close on giving up on it for good. Some things are maybe just not meant to be for certain people. \~ Kim Snow ### Difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/difficult-roads-often-lead-to-beautiful-destinations/ Last updated: 2024-01-02T00:30:00.000Z Always moving forward and not looking back. Better days are ahead this. Waking up to a brand new day with joy in my heart and an adventure to make. Whenever we are going in a very difficult phase we always think why this is only happening to us but no each and every person travels through this same phase as we do. We should overcome this difficult situations as it comes we should leave this entirely to the God. He is the one who can help us when we are in trouble none other can help us. We should always think positive never bring negative thought's inside you which can ruin your entire life and it can bring you to a full stop. You should think twice before entering into a new relationship this is for men as well as the woman so that you will never land up in trouble in a married life and should never cry for it in the future if it does not work out. People who have good thoughts in them will reach their destinations, a dream come true and achieve their goal's in their life. \~ Anitha Nair ### A strong woman URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/a-strong-woman/ Last updated: 2023-12-30T00:30:37.000Z A strong woman gets rid of the reason she was crying last night and moves on. Strong woman cry. The same goes for strong men. It takes strength to admit what you are feeling is painful. Avoiding your feelings or lacking empathy is weakness. \~ Kelly Gray She holds all the world on her back and still when anyone cries she provides him her comfortable shoulder to cry on. She is a heroine. A sensitive angel that aims for the stars. A threatening monster when someone thinks about hurting her family. She is a mother, the leader of every generation. She is the light to the darkness of world. She is a candle that melts to shine the night. She owns the most pure heart and powerful mind. How many women had changed the world and made a great difference in it. \~ Farah Zoor ### How to focus on what's really important? URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/how-to-focus-on-whats-really-important/ Last updated: 2023-12-28T00:30:19.000Z Being alone is better than being with bad people! **My solitude replenishes my soul and refreshes my awareness of all things beautiful. \~ Suhair Dabbagh** **We are never alone. God is always with us, but it is very peaceful to be alone with Him. Having a relaxing evening by myself and the rain tonight. \~ Karen Nezovich** **Sometimes being alone helps me think through things more clearly, and so that I can reflect on what it is I really want out of life, also being alone helps me focus on more important things and getting rid of the bad ones. \~ Sheina De Leon** **Sometimes be alone can giving us a fresh ideas and thinking what had happened the day after or can relaxing our mind. Alone not mean lonely or run away from people just relaxing body after a hold day long working. \~ Dickson Ta** ### Sometimes a good heart doesn't see the bad URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/sometimes-a-good-heart-doesnt-see-the-bad/ Last updated: 2023-12-26T00:30:44.000Z A good heart lives in denial and always hopes for the best, but a good heart, no matter how much it loves, must always be prepared for the worst. A good heart is usually covered in scars that no one can see. \~ Randy Lynch A truly good heart cannot prepare for the worst it just deals with the carnage after the fact. \~ Martha Myers Most times it's the ones you love the most that betray you. \~ Tammy Bumgardner We have good hearts but we should be aware of what we do with our good hearts or else we will get hurt. I've gotten hurt many times and I see people a lot differently now. Sometimes we lead with our hearts instead of our minds. I'm more careful now because of all my hurt, which is unfortunate but true. \~ Camille Marquez Some souls are too damaged, you can not reach them, leave and move on before they drown you with themselves to the depth of the sea of darkness! Betrayal and deception is a part of their roots, you can't do anything about it. \~ Megan Zik A good heart is always meant to be broken because in this real world nothing meets it's expectations. Pure heart with sentiment should find solitude as friend rather to be betrayed and broken. \~ Anoop Arya Sometimes life's struggles are a blessing. We need to focus on long term expectations. Life throws lemons at you, but eventually you've learnt to make lemonade out of it. This is good experience! \~ Anthony Doraisamy ### Someone who always wants to know how your day was URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/someone-who-always-wants-to-know-how-your-day-was/ Last updated: 2023-12-24T00:30:45.000Z My sweet husband tells me every morning, " Have a good day" and every afternoon says, " How was your day?" he is my heart. \~ Tonia Barron There's nothing sweeter when you know there is someone like that in your life who makes you feel wanted and loved no matter how busy they are. But it hurts when you know there is, but is like not there or physically present but mentally absent. \~ Ellen Mendoza When you start looking at people's heart instead of their face; life become clear. Color your life with those people who are to die for you. When you ask them what will they do if you died, their answer would be directly that they will commit suicide before you die, but unfortnately you can't find loyal people any more. \~ Farah Zoor Beautiful relationship between two tender, honest and mature individuals who love and care about each other. \~ Anessa Burzic ### Do good & good will come to you URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/do-good-good-will-come-to-you/ Last updated: 2023-12-22T00:30:58.000Z I'll tell you big true now. Do you know why bad people are always healthy or rich? because they think like that, they are positive and know what they want. Some people are angels, will hurt nobody but don't believe in their self and are negative. Doesn't matter if you good, you need to do good and believe and know that the good will come back to you! If you say oh anyway I'm unlucky, yes you are. If you say I know it will come back to me, yes it will! \~ Suzie Struharova Don't do good for the purpose that good will come to you. Do good because that's the way you choose to be. Irrespective of whether good or bad comes to you. A person who sees the good in things has good thoughts and he who has good thoughts receives pleasure from life. The main difference being that we have to accept it. Many people do many good things, but never accept the good things when returned to them. Too often people are burdened with guilt or expectation of what they should be to allow them to grow and prosper. May we all accept the goodness that is in our lives easily and confidently. \~ C Pyson Do not expect anything from the good that you do. Else you will not be giving for the correct reason. Moreover what we usually receive is the knowledge within ourselves that we as individuals did our best when we gave and that is all that is necessary. Nothing else is needed. \~ Penny Miller Doing good things is much better than being good. Good acts radiates goodness that it contaminates others for such a good aura. Do good, be kind to all people, share love with everyone around, forgive your enemies, neither let hatred nor evilness freeze your heart, let your dreams guide you to success, listen to the sound of beats of your heart they tell the truth, let your mind be he leader on this journey. It may be long, but believe it will be worth it. Venture and explore your life, many great experiences are awaiting on way. A simple message I send it from my heart and dream it in my mind and live it in my reality. \~ Farah Zoor ### Are you trying to get your life together? URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/are-you-trying-to-get-your-life-together/ Last updated: 2023-12-20T00:30:45.000Z It is one of the hardest yet most important thing to do. Get yourself together and you're set for life. Every day is a chance God gives me is a chance do better & try harder not to make my past my future. For that I am grateful. \~ Becca Kelley Be patient and never give up trying. Good things come to those who wait, and our God is good and sees your efforts. His patience with you is always there. You didn't waste those few years.. the Lord was molding you into a master piece. The Scripture says that God is the potter, we are the clay. When He has us on that potter’s wheel and comes across a lump of impatience, jealousy or pride, He puts us in a situation to bring to light those impurities. Nothing randomly happens. Difficulties are an opportunity for you to be refined. \~ Myk Chawz If you are not happy with yourself, you can't make someone else happy. Working on yourself is rewarding and it only prepares you for the right person in your life. ### Good things can happen and they will URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/good-things-can-happen-and-they-will/ Last updated: 2023-12-18T00:30:42.000Z Positive thoughts bring positive reactions. Everything happens when it needs to happen and everything happens for a reason. Keep the faith! Life is full of hope and when we strongly believe and act, miracles happen! Both good or bad things come & go that is natural. Good things come to those who are pure by heart, have no ill will against others and are down to earth. ### Enjoy the freedom and solitude URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/enjoy-the-freedom-and-solitude/ Last updated: 2023-12-16T00:30:48.000Z I love being alone. I tell people I am my own best friend! Not many understand the fun of being by yourself and enjoying your own company. It's still a working struggle between my family and a few of my friends but it's not their journey, it's mine and I'm ok with that. \~ Sheila Montecalvo Getting time alone to connect with my spirit, the universe with just me myself and I is good medicine for my soul. \~ Janie de Montel I love being alone in my solitude, I get in touch with who I really am and how much I love me. I map out on how my life could be, and how much I love my children. \~ Barbara Grundy It is good to be alone so you can talk to yourself about things you did and didn't do. \~ Jean Juntunen Much better to be alone than to be in the company of people who make you feel uncomfortable and not appreciated. ### Don't give up because of one bad chapter in your life URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/dont-give-up-because-of-one-bad-chapter-in-your-life/ Last updated: 2023-12-14T00:30:23.000Z Each mistake teaches you something new about yourself. There is no failure, remember, except in no longer trying. It is the courage to continue that counts. \~ Sadrach Baker Having a bad chapter already in your life is infact good. It ascertains that forthcoming chapters will be good and the happy ones. Think positive! \~ Deepak Modi ### Your true friend will always be there with you URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/your-true-friend-will-always-be-there-with-you/ Last updated: 2023-12-12T00:30:45.000Z Also not to forget those people who created problem in my life. Your true friend will always be there with you, others come and go. Nowadays, people only remembers you when they need you. I'm lucky, I have true friends through thick and thin.

Beauty is just admired at the first glance but the goodness in once heart remains unforgotten. Being beautiful is not only seen on the outside appearance, but in the inside. Being helpful to those in need and being grateful for what has God is given you, that's what makes you beautiful. \~ Myrna Katipunan The inside is reflected on the outside. An ugly person is usually ugly inside as well. That is a lesson I have learned in my 60+ years of observing and living on this earth. \~ Candice Mason Outward beauty is no match for inner beauty. Only wish more would see this. Too judging with our eyes and not enough using our judgement with our hearts. Huge difference! \~ Bobb Ackley It's not all about what you look like on the outside that counts, it's all about the beauty you have within that means the most. Beauty is only skin deep. Your soul is where the true, real beauty is. \~ Catherine Horst A beautiful shell can't hide an ugly interior. No amount of expensive clothing or pounds of expensive make-up can change what is inside. On the reverse, a plain face can shine when the beautiful heart makes it glow. ### Someone who doesn't feel lucky to have you URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/someone-who-doesnt-feel-lucky-to-have-you/ Last updated: 2023-12-08T00:30:00.000Z When I realize this I have wasted nearly four years from my life, but atleast finally I could able to let go. \~ Menik Senaratne If they don't treat you like they are lucky to have you, move on. It is better to be alone than be with someone and feel alone! Can't force someone to love you as much as you love them. You have to like yourself enough to know your value and if you are lucky to learn who deserves you and who doesn't, you are ahead of the game. People who take sides and don't see your side of it aren't friends they are uncaring and never cared for you in the first place. \~ Beverly Nelson ### What truly matters is that we have real friends? URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/what-truly-matters-is-that-we-have-real-friends/ Last updated: 2023-12-06T00:30:26.000Z My son said to me one day, what did you do, where are your other friends that you used to have. My explanation was even after a long period of time you come to realize that if any friendship is "toxic" you need to make a decision and distance yourself. \~ Melanie Philip Hard times will always reveal true friends. Very few 'friends' can be sustained through the years people move and if we move, we find that when we come back, our 'friends' we left behind; have moved on to other things. Things are no longer the same! It's hard to start all over again! So keep friends who have remained and hold them close to your heart! \~ Florence Lim Better to have few real close friends than a dozen fake friends, quality over quantity all the time. True friends stick by you through thick and thin. Those are your "forever"friends, worth more than gold. When we are young it matters how many friends we have. As we mature, it matters the quality of friends we have. If we have quality friends that we can count with one hand, we have all the friends we need. \~ Elina Kamrany ### Standing with people who hurt you URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/standing-with-people-who-hurt-you/ Last updated: 2023-12-04T00:30:28.000Z The sad thing is they won't even realize it until you have left. Each day is a new step on the path of your life. Things hurt us but something wonderful comes along when you least expect it. \~ Nicole Jeffery I have been with someone for ten years, the hurt just keep coming and people told me to walk I did not and one day when everything was good I decided to walk. Only you know when you ready and when that time come you will keep walking and he will try but you just keep walking away I made peace with myself. \~ Francine Ferguson Choose your friends wisely and you will never stand alone! Even when the truth come out, the lies are what people remember most. Stop wasting time on trying to prove yourself right. Let the ones telling the lies and the ones who loves the gossip waste theirs. If you know in your heart what is true, remember God does too. I wouldn't want to be the liars and gossips that have to answer to him in the end. I just feel sorry them and "families" can be the worst. Remember, it's not just a blood line that can create a family. It those who stand by your side no matter what that are your true family. \~ Karen Lephart ### You never know when the last chance may be URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/you-never-know-when-the-last-chance-may-be/ Last updated: 2023-12-02T00:30:01.000Z There is a time to recover ourselves from the pain, you will love again and be loved once again. You need to find yourself and you can do that when you are alone! Get yourself happy first! If someone is a God gift to you, then don't take that person for granted. There is a point where he will be devastated. No matter how much he loves you, he is also a human who gets hurt. He deserves that support which he had always given to you and asked nothing for that. ### It's perfectly alright to say 'NO' URL: https://www.eyeopenerquotes.com/its-perfectly-alright-to-say-no/ Last updated: 2023-11-02T00:30:21.000Z You would be surprised at how liberating it is. Once you do it a few times, you let go of the guilt of doing it. \~ Maureen Poisson The one who learns to do this keeps himself away from many of the unwanted & uncalled problems in the life. Most important or you will be a door mat. Loving yourself enough to know you deserve and are worthy of respecting your No's and your Yes's without feeling guilty. Otherwise you are being controlled and intimidated. Thank you! \~ Noosa Wellness You must learn to put my foot down to people who only know how to use and take advantage and takes everything for granted. \~ Kuan Helen **I can't say yes knowing that:** **a) my heart isn't in it. b) I will have to sacrifice something (time, comfort, fav. TV show etc) which I will not be comfortable sacrificing. c) I just don't want to. d) it's not a life/death situation and the whole thing is not resting on my shoulders. It's PERFECTLY ALRIGHT TO SAY NO. It's NOT being mean. Not being selfish and NOT being bad. Spreading yourself thin, NOT taking care of your needs and always saying "yes", then getting unhappy/frustrated due to the extra load IS.** \~ Priyanka Habib
