Life Doesn’t Come With A Manual. It Comes With A Mother

“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.”

“I don’t want to be at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them.” 

Life is about balance. Be kind, but don’t let people abuse you. Trust, but don’t be deceived. Be content, but never stop improving yourself.

“Gratitude is one of the most powerful human emotions. Once expressed, it changes attitude, brightens outlook, and broadens our perspective.”

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

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

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