- happiness only comes from the inside. it's impossible to come from the outside.
- you have to find what makes you happy! (if you only look on the outside, you will never find happiness)
- be happy and what you want will come to you.
- you don't have to be cynical, just be careful.
- trust only comes with TIME.
- karma exists, even if it takes a long time to show itself.
- sometimes you just have to move on and let things go.
- don't waste your time on guys who are a waste of time!
- don't worry about things you cannot change! you can only control yourself, and no one else.
- fake it till you make it.
- if a person has already hurt you once, don't let them have that power over you afterwards by holding onto the hurt/anger.
- holding onto hurt/the past is like carrying around a boulder. stop carrying the boulder & get back on the proverbial 'path'!
- if you don't put it down, the boulder is only getting heavier and hurting you as it gets bigger and bigger. (i.e. holding onto anger only hurts you, and the longer you hold onto it, the worse it gets)
- if someone doesn't want to be your boyfriend or friend, it's their loss!
- change the direction/pattern of negative thoughts in your head so you don't fall into a 'spin cicle'.
- use the 6 month rule - give yourself 6 months to stop thinking about your problems.
- always keep high standards.
- set boundaries and stick to them. don't let guys lose respect for you, or they'll just keep doing it.
- guys are actually more attracted to girls who are uninterested (or @ least seem like it).
- don't give very much to guys early on (i.e. talking about emotions, sex) or you're just giving them too much to work with to hurt you in the future.
- stand up for yourself when you've been done wrong, or things will never change.
- when guys do things they know are wrong it also hurts them too.
- people who often hurt others will never be happy with themselves.
- if feel like you've fallen into a bad relationship pattern, examine things and see what you're doing to contribute to the problem.
- remember after all the bad you've experienced, something great is around the corner.
- all the bad relationships are preparation for a wonderful relationship (that you'll appreciate more because of all you've gone through).
