Meeting people in life is like creating one big jigsaw puzzle. Everyone is there for a reason but it takes a while to figure out who fits where. Sometimes it’s an automatic fit but other times you think you’ve got it figured out but in the end it’s close but not an exact fit. Either way everyone plays an important role in their own way to complete the puzzle that is your life.

2 am is for the dreamers
who believe that reality could be better than anything their sleeping mind could conjure
who dare to chase after what they desire most

2 am is for the thinkers
whose thoughts consume them
refusing to sleep as they are caught up in their mind  

2 am is for the lonely
who wish to be with someone that only has eyes for them
being held tight knowing they are wanted

2 am is for the sad
who find more comfort in darkness than the light of the day
when their mood and the shadows seamlessly blend together
to describe their world in perfect form

I am too positive to be doubtful, too optimistic to be fearful, and too determined to be defeated.
This quote really speaks to me for many reasons.  I doubt myself a lot. But if I can remember to stay positive suddenly all these doubts vanish. It is amazing how far a little positivity can truly go. Too optimistic to be fearful really helps with the cheerleading aspect of my life.  As I’ve gotten older, and hurt, trying new stunts seems scarier than it ever was when I was younger. I sometimes envision what would happen if a stunt were to go wrong.  But once again, an optimist attitude makes these fears become just a passing thought. If you always remain an optimist, fear cannot come knocking on your door and if it does then you’re ready for a fight. Lastly we have too determined to be defeated. This quote has played a big role in my life. When I screwed up my knee, it was safe to say I felt defeated.  I was pretty down on myself until I remembered this part of the quote. If I remained determined to come back better than ever, there was no way this injury would define me.  Defeated no more, determination and this quote got me through it all. I am planning on getting this part of the quote tattooed on my foot someday as a daily reminder to never give up.

Nothing is impossible; the word itself says “I’m Possible”.
I really do love this quote.  NOTHING is impossible, with the right attitude you can tackle anything. By breaking down the word impossible, this quote does such a great job of proving that. I just love it.

Destiny is for losers, it's just a stupid excuse to wait for things to happen instead of making them happen.
We can thank Blair Waldorf from Gossip Girl for this one. This quote constantly reminds me that if I want something done I need to go out and make it happen. Opportunities are not going to be just handed to me. We create our own destiny. Why wait around for something to maybe happen when we can go out and pursue it ourselves to guarantee that it happens.  Bet you never thought Gossip Girl would provide such deep wisdom, did ya?

And lastly,

All your dreams can come true if you have the courage to pursue them.
Wise words from Walt Disney, a man who knows how to make dreams come true. This quote is similar to the previous one but also stands out for a different reason. Courage can be a hard thing to summon from yourself.  But once you find it within to be courageous and go after what you want you can make amazing things happen. No dream can be too big as long as you have courage to go after it and try to make it come true. 

The power of words is so strong. You never know how what you say, sing, or write could affect another.  Find quotes that can motivate you to become the best you can be. Post them around your room, or somewhere that you will see them every day to constantly remind you to be the best you can be. Dream big and never give up!
