Sadly, some folks want others to feel their pain, to hurt as much as they do-or more. My grandmother once told me to avoid colds and angry people whenever I could. It's sound advice.

I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss, or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have-life itself.

True hope dwells on the possible, even when life seems to be a plot written by someone who wants to see how much adversity we can overcome.

True success is always the last of a string of failed attempts to get it right.

Believe in something big. Your life is worth a noble motive.

We're never so vulnerable than when we trust someone-but paradoxically, if we cannot trust, neither can we find love or joy.

Nothing diminishes anxiety faster than action.
