Not in doing what you like, but in liking what you do is the secret of happiness

“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.”

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)

The less you respond to negative people, the more positive your life will become.

“We must understand that sadness is an ocean, and sometimes we drown, while other days we are forced to swim.”

I want you to be concerned about your next door neighbor. Do you know your next door neighbor?

“If you don’t know, the thing to do is not to get scared, but to learn.”

“Accept no one’s definition of your life; define yourself.”

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

A dream is not that which you see while sleeping, it is something that does not let you sleep.

“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.”

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

“Don’t worry about those who talk behind your back, they are behind you for a reason.”
