“Instead of complaining about your circumstances, get busy and create some new ones.”

Do Not Compare Your Journey To Anyone Else’s

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

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

“When you talk, you are only repeating what you already know. But if you listen you may learn something new.”

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. 

“Whatever life gives you, even if it hurts, just be strong and act like you’re okay. Strong walls shake but never collapse.”

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

“Success isn’t always about greatness. It’s about consistency. Consistent hard work leads to success. Greatness will come.”

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

“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 problem is not the problem; the problem is your attitude about the problem.”
