There is so much about my fate that I cannot control, but other things do fall under the jurisdiction. I can decide how I spend my time, whom I interact with, whom I share my body and life and money and energy with. I can select what I can read and eat and study. I can choose how I'm going to regard unfortunate circumstances in my life-whether I will see them as curses or opportunities. I can choose my words and the tone of voice in which I speak to others. And most of all, I can choose my thoughts.

My face is a transparent transmitter of my every thought.

I've always been afraid of saying no to people because I don't want them to be disappointed and dislike me.

Do not apologize for crying. Without this emotion, we are only robots.

If you're alive, you're a creative person.

Smile with face, smile with mind, and good energy will come to you and clean away dirty energy.

Your fear is just as boring as mine is. Everyone's got the same one. It is not precious. It is not special. It is not singular to you. It's just the one we all got wired with when we came in. Focus on your unique qualities that deserve to be celebrated and put fear back in its place. Don't listen to it. Onward.
