Ironically, when you surrender your need to hog the glory, the attention you used to need from other people is replaced by a quiet inner confidence that is derived from letting others have it.

Life is a process--just one thing after another. When you lose it, just start again.

Meanwhile, life keeps moving forward. The truth is, there's no better time to be happy than right now. If not now, when?

One of the mistakes many of us make is that we feel sorry for ourselves, or for others, thinking that life should be fair, or that someday it will be. It's not and it won't. When we make this mistake we tend to spend a lot of time wallowing and/or complaining about what's wrong with life. "It's not fair," we complain, not realizing that, perhaps, it was never intended to be.

You are what you practice most.

Many people spend their entire lifetimes wishing that other people would acknowledge them. They feel this especially about their parents, spouses, children, and friends.

We deny the parts of ourselves that we deem unacceptable rather than accepting the fact that we're all less than perfect.
