No one has gone through life without acquiring scars and bruises. Some wounds are hidden inside us and only we can feel. They are badges of our day-to-day struggle to learn and survive. RJ Intindola – 1981

When in love, the heart will deflect any sense of reasoning offered by the brain.

If you're alone, I'll be your shadow. If you want to cry, I'll be your shoulder. If you want a hug, I'll be your pillow. If you feel pain, I’ll be your aspirin. If you are unhappy, I'll be your smile. If you are ill, I’ll be your prescription. But anytime you need a friend, I'll just be me.

Every human being on earth has two things in common. Death and a broken heart.

I must admit that I am always perplexed when reading quotes and other writings that true love should be unconditional. Well, how about betrayal? Shouldn’t that be a condition? It is for me and should be for you.

Action and malice that contradicts the conscience will result in irreparable damage and pain that could linger for years.

Before deciding on a decision, determine how well you are willing to live with it.

Courageous people begin the journey knowing only the destination.

Disassociate with people that criticize you. Avoid them at all costs and act indifferent in their presence. At some point they may ask you what’s wrong, and you need to speak the truth.

Growth is a perpetual process that continues throughout our lives. And challenging ourselves is the foundation upon which growth is enhanced.

I evaluate friendship based on never uttering secret words I’ve spoken.

Only love can turn the darkest storm into the brightest day.

She awakened your soul, but the soft whispers of wisdom led elsewhere. The perfect love, a true connection at a time not willing to wait.

Small minded people rarely have any ideas, just a litany of complaints.

You may continue to stay together after betrayal, and the scar may heal and condense, but will never totally disappeared.

There are two types of scars; those that are visible and those that are not. Both indicate that you been hurt but only the external scars will show if you been healed. No one can see the scars inside us or if our injury still lingers.

When today is no different than yesterday and you haven’t taken any action to improve your tomorrow, then all your days continue to be yesterdays

In sports, it is easier to win a championship than to remain a champion in subsequent seasons. And the same is true in life. Once you reach the top, it is more difficult to stay on top. Because, when you become the best in sports, and in life, everyone expects more from you and they want to take you down.

Being a great leader requires several attributes. Leadership includes both rewarding and difficult attributes. You must possess the strength to make tough decisions that may isolate you for a period. And yet, have empathy and understanding of others. You must be able to listen to alternatives regarding your decisions and seriously consider them. If you practice from both a standpoint of strength and compassion, people may not always agree with your decisions, but they will respect you.

Every so often deliberately participate in inappropriate behavior, but don’t tell anyone. In this way, your public persona shall remain intact.

No one can penetrate silence; they can only interpret what is said. However, silence will create an abundance of speculative suppositions.
