The strongest oak of the forest is not the one that is protected from the storm and hidden from the sun. It’s the one that stands in the open where it is compelled to struggle for its existence against the winds and rains and the scorching sun.
If you can’t do great things, do small things in a great way. Don’t wait for great opportunities. Seize common, everyday ones and make them great.

It is not impermanence that makes us suffer. What makes us suffer is wanting things to be permanent when they are not.

Good habits are the key to all success. Bad habits are the unlocked door to failure.
If I must be a slave to habit let me be a slave to good habits.
When you live with an open heart, unexpected, joyful things happen.

Every sunset brings the promise of a new dawn.
Life isn’t happening to you; life is responding to you.
The life of your dreams, everything you would love to be, do or have, has always been closer to you than you knew, because the power to everything you want is inside you.
How it will happen, how the Universe will bring it to you, is not your concern or job. Allow the Universe to do it for you.
You have to talk about what you love, to bring what you love to you.
