“You don’t choose your family. They are God’s gift to you, as you are to them.”

“Don’t make a habit out of choosing what feels good over what’s actually good for you.”

“Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact.”

The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other’s life.

Life is about balance. Be kind, but don’t let people abuse you. Trust, but don’t be deceived. Be content, but never stop improving yourself.

Expect Nothing and You will Never be Disappointed

If you are positive, you’ll see opportunities instead of obstacles.

“The problem is not the problem; the problem is your attitude about the problem.”

“Whatever life gives you, even if it hurts, just be strong and act like you’re okay. Strong walls shake but never collapse.”

ON CHILDREN

“Sometimes we can feel like we are not good enough, but it is important to remember that we have nothing to prove others. Love and respect yourself each and every day.”

“What we all have in common is an appreciation of kindness and compassion; all the religions have this. Love. We all lean towards love.”
