Realist vs Optimist

The realist is one who can see
nothing in nothing, because
that’s how it is today.
The optimist is one who can see
opportunity in nothing, because
that’s how, through them,
it will be one day.
~Doe Zantamata

Adventure and Magic

A person will only leave their comfort zone once they decide that magic and adventure outweigh complete certainty and security.
~Doe Zantamata

Regarding your dream...

Your dream is not just something that may be right for you.
It's the only thing that will ever be right for you.
~Doe Zantamata

Dance away

Don't dance like no one is watching. Dance like everyone is watching, and show 'em how it's done.
~Doe Zantamata

In a flash

Life goes by in a flash. Share your brightest light with the world.
~Doe Zantamata

Shift in focus

It's not that I don't care anymore, it's just that I'm choosing to focus instead on other things. Things that don't bother me. Things that allow me to be happy.

Seeds, caterpillars, and bees

Seeds, caterpillars, and bees come before flowers, butterflies, and honey. They remind us of the beauty, transformation, and sweetness in life that follow the patience to grow, persistence in struggle, and diligent effort. Everything will be worthwhile one day.
~Doe Zantamata
 

Love today.

If they don't like you now, they won't like you when you change for them, either. Nobody's perfect, and we all improve in our own time, when we're ready, but if they can't love and accept you as you are now, then they aren't right for you right now. ~Doe Zantamata

The things that matter

There is a world within you that only you can see.
Your wishes, your dreams, your hopes live here,
But will they come to be?
Send them out in words
Act on each and every wish,
And to the world they will scatter.
Because in the end
It's not the thoughts we think
But the things we do
That matter.
~Doe Zantamata

Special Things

Just because someone doesn't take care of special things, or appreciate them as much as they should, it doesn't mean that those things are not really special. All it means is that someone shouldn't have the privilige of having them anymore.
~Doe Zantamata

We believe what we tell ourselves


We believe what we tell ourselves.

Tell yourself:
Everything will work out.
Things will get better.
You are important.
You are worthy of great things.
You are loveable.
The time is now.
This too, shall pass.
You can be who you really are.
The best is yet to come.
You are strong.
You can do this.

Asking for help

Everyone, no matter how big and strong, could use a little help sometimes. Never be afraid to ask for help when you need it. What are we here for, if not for each other? ~Doe Zantamata
 

Seeds of change

Just as a flower dies before the seeds for new flowers can be released, some experiences must end before the seeds for new experiences can be released. Appreciate what was, but know that great things will soon be.
~Doe Zantamata

The Wish that Would Become...

Every great, big wish deserves to be fulfilled...
Send yours out into the world.
Feed it with hope, grow it with love, pursue it with passion, and watch it grow, develop, mature, and become one of the most amazing things you've ever set eyes on.
~Doe Zantamata

Living with passion

When there is something you really want to do, even when you know there will be no turning back, you just have to go for it. ~Doe Zantamata

Grateful for great friends

Be grateful for friends who make you smile without even saying a word.
~Doe Zantamata

When I see you...

When I see you through my eyes, I think that we are different.
When I see you through my heart, I know we are the same.
~Doe Zantamata

Wakey wakey

In your dreams, anything is possible. It's time to wake up and start dreaming. ~Doe Zantamata

Break out of your shell

It's time to break out of your shell and show the world who you really are and what you're really made of! Live your dreams! ~Doe Zantamata

In their own time

Although we may want things to happen faster, or now, or even yesterday, sometimes things take more time to unfold, but will do so in their own time, at their own pace...eventually. Trying to force them to happen sooner will only lead to frustration. Once you’ve done all you can do, know when to practice patience.
~Doe Zantamata

Timing is a funny thing

If you really gave something a good try before, but
it just didn’t happen, maybe it’s not that it wasn’t meant to be...
Maybe it wasn’t meant to be then.
Timing’s a funny thing,
and can make all the difference.
Give it another honest go, and see what happens now.
~Doe Zantamata
 

Change

Don't let your fear of what could happen make nothing happen. ~Doe Zantamata

Follow your own path

There are no footsteps to follow on your own path...but that's where the fun and adventure live.
~Doe Zantamata

Decision Time

When you really decide, and not just wish.
When you really commit, and not just try.
When you really take responsibility, and not just hope...
That's when the miracles happen.
~Doe Zantamata

So what

If you've done your best, and no one seems to care, it may be time for a little dose of "so what," "that's too bad," or, "whatever." There's no point staying upset over something that you can't change.
~Doe Zantamata

The grateful heart

Even in the most peaceful surroundings, the angry heart finds quarrel.
Even in the most quarrelsome surroundings, the grateful heart finds peace.
~Doe Zantamata

It's not love

If you really want an answer, stop asking,
"Why am I being treated this way?"
and ask instead,
"Why am I putting up with this?"
 p.s. It's not love.

~Doe Zantamata

Compatibility


Two people don't have to think the exact same way in order to be compatible. They just have to realize and respect that different isn't wrong, it's just different. ~Doe Zantamata

Daily goal

Aim to make a positive difference in someone's life every single day...including your own. ~Doe Zantamata

Grass is greener

Whoever always looks for greener grass on the other side will never be able to appreciate the green grass that was right under their feet the entire time. ~Doe Zantamata

Grateful for friends

Be grateful for the friends who make you smile without even saying a word. ~Doe Zantamata

Wish hard. Dream big. Make it happen.

Wish hard. Dream big. Make it happen.
~Doe Zantamata

Awful, or Wonderful?

If you focus on all that is awful, you will miss all that is wonderful. ~Doe Zantamata

Observe and reflect

Observe and reflect, and become a little wiser every day. ~Doe Zantamata

Shadows in your mind

Every person from your past lives as a shadow in your mind. Good or bad, they all helped you write the story of your life, and shaped the person you are today. ~Doe Zantamata

A heart is made full

A heart is made full by all the hearts whose love it has shared. ~Doe Zantamata

See the world through grateful eyes

Choose to see the world through grateful eyes. It will never look the same way again. ~Doe Zantamata

Keep your chin up

Keep your chin up. No one expected you to save the world, otherwise you would have been born wearing a cape and tights. Just do the best you can. ~Doe Zantamata

Forgiveness


Anyone can hold a grudge, but it takes a person with character to forgive. When you forgive, you release yourself from a painful burden. Forgiveness doesn't mean what happened was OK, and it doesn't mean that person should still be welcome in your life. It just means that you have made peace with the pain, and are ready to let it go.
~Doe Zantamata

Taking time to do nothing...


Taking time to do nothing often brings everything into perspective. ~Doe Zantamata

Silliness Makes Your Soul Smile


Silliness makes your soul smile. ~Doe Zantamata

Be all of these things, but most importantly, just be you.
