Unkind criticism is never part of a meaningful critique of you. Its purpose is not to teach or to help, its purpose is to punish.

DO IT RIGHT, DO IT WRONG, BUT DO IT. Squeeze your eyes shut and jump. Because a wonderful thing happens then. Your focus shifts from yourself, your nervousness, and your imagined inadequacies to the task at hand.

Becoming mature means learning to accept what you cannot change, facing unresolved sorrows and learning to love life as it really happens, not as you would have it happen.

When you start using senses you've neglected, your reward is to see the world with completely fresh eyes.

The cure for sorrow is to learn something.

Happy people have two things in common. They know exactly what they want and they feel they're moving toward getting it.

And our dreams are who we are.
