And live like it's heaven on earth.”

Never take your loved ones for granted

Never take your loved ones for granted because you never know when their hearts will stop beating, and you won't have a chance to say goodbye.

The more often we see the things around us - even the beautiful and wonderful things - the more they become invisible to us. That is why we often take for granted the beauty of this world: the flowers, the trees, the birds, the clouds - even those we love. Because we see things so often, we see them less and less.~ Joseph B. Wirthlin

Clean water and access to food are some of the simplest things that we can take for granted each and every day. In places like Africa, these can be some of the hardest resources to attain if you live in a rural area.~ Marcus Samuelsson

“The lesson learned: never take your loved ones for granted. And if you're ever lucky enough to find that one person in life who makes you love more than any other person could possible make you love, you treat every day together as if it were your last. You cherish every moment. ~ Sebastian Cole

Never take someone for granted Hold every person close to your heart because you might wake up one day and realize that you’ve lost a diamond while you were too busy collecting stones ...

That doesn't mean it's your fault.

We are taught you must blame your father, your sisters, your brothers, the school, the teachers - but never blame yourself. It's never your fault. But it's always your fault, because if you wanted to change you're the one who has got to change. ~ Katharine Hepburn

My only fault is that I don't realize how great I really am. ~ Muhammad Ali

What does it mean to love someone with all your heart? It means to love with all your emotional feelings and with all your devotion. Surely when you love your wife with all your heart, you cannot demean her, criticize her, find fault with her, or abuse her by words, sullen behavior, or actions. ~ Ezra Taft Benson
