“Life is not always what you think it should be. Sometimes life turns out different.”

“God is great, but sometimes life ain't good and when I pray it doesn't always turn out like I think it should. But I do it anyway.”

“Sometimes life isn't what you think it should be or want it to be. Sometimes life is just life and it goes on even without you. The key is to make the most out of it while you can.”

“Sometimes the little times you don't think are anything while they're happening turn out to be what marks a whole period of your life.”

“Even when life turns out different than what you've planned, it's always better to try and fail than to wonder what could have been.”

“Never change who you are because somebody says you should … and never change because you think you should. In life, we are all destined to come across a situation where it will be tempting to pretend to be someone we are not.I want us all to resist this – no matter how enticing it may seem at the time – it will always turn out badly. You are who you are and why should you pretend to be any different? Believe in yourself no matter what. My only advice is that if you do think you should change – don’t think of it as change – think of it as improvement. Never try to be something you’re not – instead, be something you want to be.”
