If you can do something about a situation, why worry? And if you can’t do something about a situation, why worry?
The goal is to be the observer of your thoughts and not let your thoughts control you.
Recovery is something that you have to work on every single day and it’s something that it doesn’t get a day off.
Accept yourself as you are right now; an imperfect, changing, growing and worthy person.
Doubters don’t win, winners don’t doubt.
Your world and everything in it is a reflection of your own mental attitude toward yourself.
Every one of us is the sum total of his own thoughts.
Discontent, blaming, complaining, self-pity cannot serve as a foundation for a good future, no matter how much effort you make.
No matter what happens, it is within my power to turn it to my advantage.
Any person capable of angering you becomes your master.
It is our attitude toward events, not events themselves, which we can control. Nothing is by its own nature calamitous – even death is terrible only if we fear it.
Learn to distinguish what you can and can’t control. Within our control are our own opinions, aspirations, desires and the things that repel us. They are directly subject to our influence.
Try not to react merely in the moment. Pull back from the situation. Take a wider view. Compose yourself.
What ought one to say then as each hardship comes? I was practicing for this, I was training for this.

I laugh at those who think they can damage me. They do not know who I am, they do not know what I think, they cannot even touch the things which are really mine and with which I live.
There is no normal life that is free of pain. It’s the very wrestling with our problems that can be the impetus for our growth.
Believe in yourself, even when no one else does.
Rule your mind or it will rule you.
When you face difficult times, know that challenges are not sent to destroy you. They’re sent to promote, increase and strengthen you.
