“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.”

“Sometimes the things that hurt the most teach us the best lessons.”

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

“Thinking is difficult, that’s why most people judge.”

“Characterize people by their actions, and you will never be fooled by their words.”

“To me, beauty is natural beauty. If you’re naturally yourself, you’re beautiful.”

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

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

“Success is not only for the elite. Success is there for those who want it, plan for it, and take action to achieve it.”

“You can avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality.”

Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.
