Be a creator, not a reactor.
What your heart desires is not too good to be true. It is good enough to be true.
Happiness has little to do with what is going on around you, and a lot to do with what is going on inside you.
As soon as you become aware that something is not working, immediately shift your focus to the desired result.
Use pain as a stepping stone, not a camp ground.
Be kind to everyone, and don't leave yourself out of the equation.
