81 " Whatever we are physically... male or female, young or old, strong or weak, ill or healthy... Those things matter much less than what you have inside your heart. If you have the soul of a warrior, you are a warrior. All those other things are merely like the glass that contains a lamp... Useful, but you are the light inside. Shine, my friend. Shine. "
― José N. Harris
82 " Victim" and "Volunteer" can often be the two sides of the same coin. "

83 " I don't believe in revenge. It's unnecessary. I prefer using a very discreet psychological intervention topped of with a short burst of extreme violence! "
84 " Sometimes, we just have to be our own hero! "
85 " Last night I had a nightmare. That me and someone I cared a lot about were playing a game in a pool. We'd take turns submerging ourselves under the water while the other person kept time.At one point it felt like the other person might be drowning, so I jumped in to pull her up. She smiled and laughed and pushed me away. Then she turned blue and died. I could not resuciate her.I woke up at 3, sweating, in shock and pain. Frightened. But then I realized it was only a dream. But then I realized it was just like real life...Sometimes people we care about play risky games and then don't want our help. There is nothing we can do for them, no matter how much we care... "
86 " I want that perfect ending. But I've learned the hard way, that some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle and end. My life has not been about knowing or figuring everything out. It's been about having to deal with change, about taking a moment and making the best of it, even if I knew I'd have to take a big risk. Life is really about trying to move forward without knowing exactly what is going to happen next. "
87 " During my most difficult days, I text message God. I know I can just say a prayer and He'll hear me, but just in case He's really busy... He can read my message later! :) "
88 " Sometimes you wake up from a dream. Sometimes you wake up from a dream. Sometimes you wake up from a dream.And sometimes, if you are very lucky, you wake up and it's real... "
89 " We are only human. Don’t be mad at yourself. Forgive yourself, forget the past and start over. "
90 " I am a kind of paranoid in reverse. I suspect people of having good intentions. "
91 " CHARACTER... demonstrate it. "
92 " Sometimes it poursand sometimes...I just set fire to the rain. "
93 " There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: not pursuing it. "
94 " Your life is your path. It's what's right in front of you. You can't walk down anyone else's path. The task is to live your own and to not try to follow someone else's path just because you think it looks better. "
95 " We each have a spark of life inside of us, that can start a fire. You can choose to burn down a room or to brighten it with light. "
96 " If you saw a dog that was hit by a car in the street, lying there, hurt, in pain, broken... would you pick it up? Caress it? Reassure it? Then just throw it back in the street? Some people do that, just in different ways... to other people. Whis is worse? The one who causes the intial pain and suffering without stopping or the one who intentionally gives false hope, then injures more, and then just abandons? "
97 " There is always a way to solve a problem, and even though I can't see it sometimes, I choose to believe that a solution always exists. "
98 " Amputees suffer itches, cramps and even severe pains in a leg that is no longer there. It can be the same with love... "
99 " If you'd like to keep CHRIST in Christmas this year, I'd humbly suggest that instead of just posting about it as a status on Facebook, that perhaps you try to find a family in your neighborhood who could use a little help or pehaps donate to a local food bank anonomously. That's keeping CHRIST in Christmas! "
100 " We hardly ever realize it, that we have the ability to cut anything out of our lives, any pain, any misery, any negative person, anytime, in the blink of an eye. We hold the power. "
