Words to Remember
published on: 04 Feb 2011

Smile like nobody is happier (at everyone you meet).

Laugh like nobody is watching (every day of the week).

Sing like nobody is listening (even when they are).

Dance like nobody’s business (maybe after a few drinks).

Speak like nobody dares to (with honesty and respect).

Listen like nobody matters more (with friends, family, and everyone in between).

Love like nobody ever hurt you (even if they did).

Cry like nobody can see you (just don’t forget to breathe).

Change like nobody wants to (because you’re not afraid).

Live like nobody else (nobody but you).

Make every day count.

And be glad, at the end of it all, that you did.

    Strong words/phrases Matt!

    Change…I think change including effort and acknowledgement is often given a bad connotation either by opposing political parties and/or lazy, conformed individuals. I try to change daily for the better. Change isn’t bad if it moves one towards their dreams.

    Have a wonderful Sunday sir.

      Exactly, David — change is a positive force in the right hands. Just a shame that right hands can’t usually be found in political parties or lazy people, haha.

      Have a great week! :)
