In disagreements with loved ones, deal with the current situation. Don’t bring up the past as that will only cause unnecessary resentment.

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

“Instead of complaining about your circumstances, get busy and create some new ones.”

“That is what compassion does. It challenges our assumptions, our sense of self-limitation, worthlessness, of not having a place in the world, our feelings of loneliness and estrangement. These are narrow, constrictive states of mind. As we develop compassion, our hearts open.”

“The power for creating a better future is contained in the present moment: You create a good future by creating a good present.”

Be Happy Be Yourself, if others don’t like it, then let them be. Happiness is a choice. Life isn’t about pleasing everybody. 

“Dignity is not negotiable. Dignity is the honor of the family.”

“Choose thoughts that give you the emotions of being alive and excited about life.”

“It is important that we forgive ourselves for making mistakes. We need to learn from our errors and move on.”

Never Hide your bad side to make someone stay, show your bad side and see who can stay

There are friends, there is family, and then there are friends that become family.
