To the world, you are a mother, to your family you are the world.

“There are better people in the world, do not let the worst do the worst to you, you deserve the best in life.”

“Don’t be afraid to start over. This time you’re not starting from scratch, you’re starting from experience.”

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

You don’t have to defend or explain your decisions to anyone. It’s your life. Live it without apologies.

“A comfort zone is a beautiful place, but nothing ever grows there.”

“Sometimes life doesn’t give you what you want, not because you don’t deserve it, but because you deserve so much more.”

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

You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.

Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact.

“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.”
