“Carry out a random act of kindness, with no expectation of reward, safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you.”

Learn to value yourself, which means: fight for your happiness.

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

“I don’t want to be at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them.” 

“Love and kindness are never wasted. They always make a difference. They bless the one who receives them, and they bless you, the giver.”

“Don’t focus on negative things; focus on the positive, and you will flourish.”

“Show your anger when needed. People need to know what irritates you and what doesn’t. But, crucially, remain internally calm. Your anger is only a tool. Don’t become its puppet.”

“The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the greatest intention.”

Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do. (Pele)

“War does not determine who is right — only who is left.”

“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.”

Anyone can buy a good house, but good neighbors are priceless.
