Understand that consistency is essential; nothing is achieved without it.

“Things change. And friends leave. Life doesn’t stop for anybody.”

“When all the dust is settled and all the crowds are gone, the things that matter are faith, family, and friends.”

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

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

“Good friends are like stars. You don’t always see them, but you know they’re always there.”

Anyone can buy a good house, but good neighbors are priceless.

Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.

“When a flower doesn’t bloom, you fix the environment in which it grows, not the flower.”

“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.”

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

“Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.”

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