What you focus on becomes reality. Everybody carries anger inside. But also happiness. Those who focus on anger will always be angry. Those who focus on happiness will-.

You’ve changed, but you have to decide what you’re going to do around people who haven’t changed.
You have to want to be happy – some people don’t.
You do not have the right to destroy someone else’s dignity because you have none yourself!
