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

Life isn't all it's cracked up to be. Nothing is ever good enough the way it is.

Don't sweat the small stuff...and it's all small stuff.

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

One of the most dynamic and significant changes you can make in your life is to make the commitment to drop all negative references to your past, to begin living now.

Every day, tell at least one person something you like, admire, or appreciate about them.

If, however, you take a moment to observe how you actually feel immediately after you criticise someone, you'll notice that you will feel a little deflated and ashamed, almost like you're the one who has been attacked. The reason this is true is that when we criticise, it's a statement to the world and to ourselves, "I have a need to be critical." This isn't something we are usually proud to admit.
