Before, I thought I was actually fighting for my own self-worth; that is why I so desperately wanted people to like me. I thought their liking me was a comment on me, but it was a comment on them.

I'd rather be happy than right.

It's not that "today is the first day of the rest of my life," but that now is all there is of my life.

When we persist in looking for and finding what there is to value within our self, we discover a pure and loving being.

It is your right to be happy. This is what you were made for. And if you will not resist, happiness will find a way to pour from your heart and fill your days.

To live for results would be to sentence myself to continuous frustration. My only sure reward is in my actions and not from them.

I don't need a "reason" to be happy. I don't have to consult the future to know how happy I feel now.
