The best way to handle good fortune is to do something positive and useful with it. The best way to handle misfortune is exactly the same.

Feelings come and feelings go. There is no need to fear them and no need to crave them. Be open to your feelings and experience them while they are here. Then be open to the feelings that will come next. Your feelings are a part of your experience. Yet no mere feeling, however intense it may seem, is your permanent reality.

Every moment spent in negativity is paid for with something truly priceless. That something is life.

When you are happy, be thankful and your happiness is greatly multiplied. When you are feeling down, be thankful and youll soon be feeling much better.

Be thankful for it all. And beyond your many blessings, will be many, many more.

Don't lower your expectations to meet your performance. Raise your level of performance to meet your expectations. Expect the best of yourself, and then do what is necessary to make it a reality.

Care, because it is what you do. Care, and be vibrantly alive.
