Life is like any other contact sport. You may encounter hardships of one sort or another. Wise people find happiness not in the absence of such hardships, but in their ability to understand them when they occur.
Thought is not reality; yet it is through Thought that our realities are created.
If the only thing people learned was not to be afraid of their experience, that alone would change the world.
All feelings derive and become alive, whether negative or positive, from the power of Thought.
Your thoughts are like the artist’s brush. They create a personal picture of the reality you live in.
Going back into the negative past to find happiness is like trying to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.
