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

The true mark of maturity is when somebody hurts you and you try to understand their situation instead of trying to hurt them back.

It’s not about where you come from it’s about where you’re going

Live your best, and act your best, and think your best each day, for there may be no tomorrows.

“Your emotions make you human. Even the unpleasant ones have a purpose. Don’t lock them away. If you ignore them, they just get louder and angrier.”

The magic thing about home is that it feels good to leave, and it feels even better to come back.

“You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving.”

“Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it.” 

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

“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.”

Never apologize for being sensitive or emotional. It’s a sign that you have big heart, and that you aren’t afraid to let others see it. Showing your emotions is a sign of strength.
