You gotta look for the good in the bad, the happy in your sad, the gain in your pain, and what makes you grateful not hateful. -Karen Salmansohn
Our days are happier when we give people a bit of our heart rather than a piece of our mind.
"The first to apologize is the bravest. The first to forgive is the wisest. The first to forget is the happiest." -Buddhist Boot Camp (http://www.buddhistbootcamp.com)
Today is a great day to have a great day.
"People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway. If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway. For you see, in the end, it is between you and your God. It was never between you and them anyway." - Mother Theresa
Don't ever let anyone dull your sparkle!
Happiness starts with you - not with your relationships, not with your job, not with your money, but with you.
"We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses." -Abraham Lincoln
"Life appears to me too short to be nursing animosity or registering wrongs." Charlotte Bronte, Jane Eyre
"Sometimes when a tiny series of the most unpredictable events occur that make no sense at all, something big is about to happen." The Universe (Mike Dooley)
"Your task is not to become a leader. Your task is to become yourself, and to use yourself completely - all your gifts and skills and energies - to make your vision manifest. You must withhold nothing. You must, in sum, become the person you started out to be and enjoy the process of becoming." -Warren Bennis, On Becoming A Leader
Don't be afraid of being different. Be afraid of being the same as everyone else.
Be confident. Too many days are wasted comparing ourselves to others and wishing to be something we are not. Everybody has their own strengths and weaknesses, and it is only when you accept everything you are -- and are not -- that you will truly be successful and on the road to happiness.
"Do not let the behavior of others destroy your inner peace." -Dali Lama
Not everyone is going to want, accept or know how to receive your energy. Make peace with that and keep on.
"Love isn't a state of perfect caring. It is an active noun like struggle. To love someone is to strive to accept that person exactly the way he or she is, right here and now." -Fred Rogers
Character is how you treat those who can do nothing for you.
A good laugh and a long sleep are the best cures for anything. -Irish proverb
