One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

In life, you can blame a lot of people and you can wallow in self-pity, or you can pick yourself up and say, 'Listen, I have to be responsible for myself.'

There are some things in life that are out of our control that we can't change and we've got to live with.

The choice that we have, though is either to give up or keep on going.

Nothing will work unless you do.

Never assume that you're stuck within the way things are.
Life can change, and so can you.

You can't calm the storm.
So stop trying.
What you can do is calm yourself.
The storm will pass.

You can never cross the ocean until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore.

The only thing keeping you from getting what you want is the story you keep telling yourself about why you can't have it.

You'd never invite a thief into your house.

So why would you allow thoughts that steal your joy to make themselves at home in your  mind?

A few simple tips for life:

Feet on the ground,
Head to the skies,
Heart open,
Quiet mind.

A joyful life is an individual creation that cannot be copied from a recipe.

Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.

Most great accomplishments were achieved by people who at first had no idea what they were doing.

The key to happiness is letting each situation be what it is instead of what you think it should be.The key to happiness

All you can change is yourself, but sometimes that changes everything.

Choosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude is going to determine how you're going to live your life.

If we didn't spend so much time reacting to things, we would spend less time feeling bothered. We would be able to relax in our lives the way our mind relaxes in meditation.

Love yourself.
Accept yourself.
Forgive yourself.

Because without you the rest of us are without a source of many wonderful things.

All things share the same breath. the beast, the tree, the man. The air shares its spirit with all the life it supports.

Let your soul expand,
let your heart reach out to others in loving and generous warmth,
and great and lasting will be your joy,
and all prosperity will come to you.
