“We never lose friends. We simply learn who the real ones are.”

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

“Sometimes we can feel like we are not good enough, but it is important to remember that we have nothing to prove others. Love and respect yourself each and every day.”

“We should love, not fall in love, because everything that falls, gets broken.”

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

“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 word ‘happy’ would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.”

Failure is not the opposite of success, it’s part of Success.

“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.”

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

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

“Everyone needs a house to live in, but a supportive family is what builds a home.”

“You only live one but if you do it right, once is enough.”
