Happiness isn't a one-size-fits-all proposition. You must define what it looks like for you and then make a conscious effort to access whatever gets you to your unique definition of joy.

If you don't know what it is you want - and I mean specifically - then you won't even know when you have it.

A lot of people do have tragic childhoods. But you know what? Get over it.

It's so much easier to tell people what they want to hear instead of what they need to hear.

You have to figure out what that is, and you have to make a plan to get to it. And the plan has got to have a timeline. You have to choose something that you can afford to do and then lock it in and passionately do it.

People have the right to think and say whatever they want to. But you have the right not to take it to heart, and not to react.

You can't put feathers on a dog and call it a chicken!
