jobs careers helping
A lower-paying job can still help you advance your career.
memories trying selective
I try to keep the happy memories. If that's what you call selective memories, I'm good with that.
fall trying helping
We will all, at some point in our lives, fall. Every single one of us. We shouldn't spend our time trying to avoid falling. We should spend it finding someone who will help us up!
first-love forever forever-love
Jude wasn't just my first love. He was my forever love.
people interviews underestimate
Don't underestimate the power of the nonverbal. You'd be amazed how many people come in for interviews with poor posture, weak handshakes, and blank stares.
years forever-with-you fifty
When you find someone you want to spend forever with you, you don't let them go, whether forever turns out to be a day or a year of fifty years. Don't let the fear of losing them keep you from loving them.
morning past different
Every morning we get a chance to be different. A chance to change. A chance to be better. Your past is your past. Leave it there. Get on with the future part, honey.
caring scary heartbeat
Caring for someone is scary, because you both know how it feels to lose someone in the span of a heartbeat.
jobs giving-up believe
I'm always surprised by how many people give up before they enter the room. They buy into the hype - that there are so many more qualified applicants, that no one's hiring - and assume they're not going to get the job. You've got to go into every interview believing this is the one you're going to nail.
wind lost findings
It always amazes me how when we’re sure we’ve lost something for good, it winds up finding us.
pain sweet-love hard-work
Love isn’t only love, sweetheart. It’s hard work, and trust, and tears, with even a few glimpses of devastation. But at the end of each day, if you can still look at the person at your side and can’t imagine anyone else you’d rather have there, the pain and heartache and the ups and downs of love are worth it.
hurt cutting tree
Sometimes we just have to cut off the dead branches in our life. Sometimes that's the only way we can keep the tree alive. It's hard and it hurts, but it's what's best.
coaches coast east girls nervous nice says west
The coaches and the girls were really nice and they made me feel like I was at home. But I am nervous because everyone always says the East Coast is completely different than the West Coast.
easy hard team work
I thought it was going to be a lot closer. But they weren't an easy team - we still had to work hard to get our points.
