15 Maybe's

15 MAYBE 's

1. Maybe . . . We were supposed to meet the wrong peoplebefore meeting the right one so that, when we finally meetthe right person, we will know how to be grateful for thatgift .

2. Maybe . . . When the door of happiness closes,another opens; but, often times, we look so long at theclosed door that we don't even see the new one which hasbeen opened for us.

3. Maybe . . . It is true that we don't know whatwe have until we lose it, but it is also true that wedon't know what we have been missing until it arrives.

4. Maybe . . . The happiest of people don'tnecessarily have the best of everything; they just make themost of everything that comes along their way.

5. Maybe . . . The brightest future will always bebased on a forgotten past; after all, you can't go onsuccessfully in life until you let go of your past mistakes,failures and heartaches.

6. Maybe . . . You should dream what you want to dream;go where you want to go, be what you want to be, because youhave only one life and one chance to do all the things youdream of and want to do.

7. Maybe . . . There are moments in life when you misssomeone -- a parent, a spouse, a friend, a child -- so muchthat you just want to pick them from your dreams and hugthem for real. So once they are around you, appreciatethem more.

8. Maybe . . . The best kind of friend is the kind youcan sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, andthen walk away feeling like it was the best conversationyou've ever had.

9. Maybe . . . You should always try to put yourself inothers' shoes. If you feel that something could hurtyou, it probably will hurt the other person, too.

10. Maybe . . . You should do something nice for someoneevery single day, even if it is simply to leave them alone.Profound!

11. Maybe . . Giving someone all your love is never anassurance that they will love you back. Don't expectlove in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart; butif it doesn't, be content that it grew in yours.

12. Maybe . . . Happiness waits for all those who cry, allthose who hurt, all those who have searched, and all thosewho have tried, for only they can appreciate the importanceof all the people who have touched their lives .

13. Maybe . . . You shouldn't go for looks; they candeceive; don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Gofor someone who makes you smile, because it takes only asmile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one thatmakes your heart smile .

14. Maybe . . . You should hope for enough happiness tomake you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enoughsorrow to keep you human, and enough hope to make you happy.

15. Maybe . . . You should try to live your life to thefullest because when you were born, you were crying andeveryone around you was smiling but when you die, you can bethe one who is smiling and everyone around you crying.

Maybe . . . You could send this message to those peoplewho mean something to you, to those who have touched yourlife, to those who can and do make you smile when you reallyneed it, to those who make you see the brighter side ofthings when you are really down, and to all those whom youwant to know that you appreciate them and their friendship.
