Strong people have a strong sense of self-worth and self-awareness; they don’t need the approval of others.
Do not let arrogance go to your head and despair to your heart; do not let compliments go to your head and criticisms to your heart; do not let success go to your head and failure to your heart.
Sometimes all a person wants is an empathetic ear; all he or she needs is to talk it out. Just offering a listening ear and an understanding heart for his or her suffering can be a big comfort.
When the going gets tough, put one foot in front of the other and just keep going. Don’t give up.
Everyone you meet is a part of your journey, but not all of them are meant to stay in your life. Some people are just passing through to bring you gifts; either they’re blessings or lessons.
Count your blessings, not your problems. Count your own blessings, not someone else’s. Remember that jealousy is when you count someone else’s blessings instead of your own.
Stop giving other people the power to control your happiness, your mind, and your life. If you don’t take control of yourself and your own life, someone else is bound to try.
A smile puts you on the right track. A smile makes the world a beautiful place. When you lose your smile, you lose your way in the chaos of life.
Nothing can disturb your peace of mind unless you allow it to.
You are unique. You have different talents and abilities. You don’t have to always follow in the footsteps of others. And most important, you should always remind yourself that you don’t have to do what everyone else is doing and have a responsibility to develop the talents you have been given.
You cannot change anyone, but you can be the reason someone changes.
The strongest people find the courage and caring to help others, even if they are going through their own storm.
The surest way to make your dreams come true is to live them.
Kindness is not a business. True kindness expects nothing in return and should never act with conditions.
Courage is feeling fear, not getting rid of fear, and taking action in the face of fear.
Being grateful does not mean that everything is necessarily good. It just means that you can accept it as a gift.
Perfectionism is the enemy of happiness. Embrace being perfectly imperfect. Learn from your mistakes and forgive yourself, you’ll be happier. We make mistakes because we are imperfect. Learn from your mistakes, forgive yourself, and keep moving forward.
You are in charge of your own happiness; you don’t need to wait for other people’s permission to be happy.
Whenever something bad happens, keep calm, take a few deep breaths and shift the focus to something positive.
Don’t let others tell you what you can’t do. Don’t let the limitations of others limit your vision. If you can remove your self-doubt and believe in yourself, you can achieve what you never thought possible.
