- How to be happy: decide every morning that you are in a good mood.
- Today is a good day for a good day.
- Strive for progress, not perfection
- Life doesn't have to be perfect to be wonderful.
- Stop being afraid of what could go wrong; focus on what could go right.
- Make choices that reflect your hopes, not your fears.
- Don't count the days; make the days count.
- Don't let yesterday take up too much of today.
- Failure is a bruise, not a tattoo.
- Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will.
- 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?
- see competition as inspiration (w/o envy)
- A flower does not think of competing to the flower next to it. It just blooms.
- Live a life of "oh wells" instead of "what ifs"
- Smile a little more, regret a little less.
- Be bold enough to use your voice, brave enough to listen to your heart and strong enough to live the life you’ve imagined.
- No matter how you feel, get up, dress up, show up, and never give up. Believe in your own potential.
- Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.
- Don’t carry your mistakes around with you. Instead, place them under your feet and use them as stepping stones to rise above them.
- Let go, or be dragged.
- Change is inevitable--learn to accept it
- Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror. Just keep going. No feeling is final.
- Fear does not prevent Death, but it does prevent Life.
- Worrying does not take away tomorrow's troubles, it takes away today's peace.
- The only person you have control over is yourself
- Don’t think about what can happen in a month. Don’t think about what can happen in a year. Just focus on the 24 hours in front of you and do what you can to get closer to where you want to be.
- Nothing is impossible, the word itself says I'm possible.
- Don’t compare your Chapter 1 to someone else’s Chapter 20.
- Don't strive to be better than others. Strive to be better than your best self.
- Always be a first-rate version of yourself instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.
- Do things your future self will thank you for. Be your own hero.
- Workout your own salvation, do not depend on others.
- Plant your own garden, decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
- You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself.
- When nobody else celebrates you, learn to celebrate yourself. When nobody else compliments you, then compliment yourself. It’s not up to other people to keep you encouraged. It’s up to you. Encouragement should come from the inside.
- If you make friends with yourself, you'll never be alone.
- A bad day does not mean a bad life.
- You can’t calm the storm…so stop trying. What you can do is calm yourself. The storm will pass.
- Some people will only love you when you fit in their box; don't be afraid to disappoint.
- Just keep moving forward and don't give a shit about what anyone else thinks. Do what you have to do, for you.
- Allow the space between where you are and where you want to be to inspire and not terrify you.
- Be someone you want to be around.
- Wherever you go carry the intention of peace, love and harmony in your heart.
- Happiness never decreases from being shared.
- Thousand of candles can be light from a single candle.
- Promote what you love instead of bashing what you hate.
- Do not let the behavior of others destroy your inner peace.
- Be happy for no reason, like a child. If you are happy for a reason, you’re in trouble, because that reason can be taken from you.
- Often, it’s not about becoming a new person, but becoming the person you were meant to be, and already are, but don’t know how to be.
- Give your self power, set your goals high.
- Pursue happiness, rather than accept unhappiness.
- Do not regret growing older. It's a privilege denied to many.
