I'm stronger because I had to be,  I'm smarter because of my mistakes,
happier because of the sadness I've known,  and now wiser because I learned.

• Every day is a new day, and you'll never be able to find happiness if you don't move on.
• Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.
• Happiness is a journey, not a destination. So work like you don't need money. Love like you've never been hurt.
• Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.
• Your beliefs don't make you a better person,  your  behavior  does.
  You can't shine like a diamond, if you not willing to get cut like a diamond.

  A dead fish will float downstream, but it takes a live one to swim against the current.

  The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.

  Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

  Never laugh at anyone's dream. People who don't have dreams don't have much.

  Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly.

  If you Judge people, you have no time to love them.

  Commitment is what transforms a promise into a reality.

  The best sleeping pill is a clear conscience.

  Vision Without Action Is Merely A Dream. Action Without Vision Just Passes The Time. Vision With Action Can Change The World.

  Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the wise.  Seek what they sought.

  It does not matter how slowly you go, as long don't stop. 

  When you lose, don't lose the lesson.

  In life if you have not done enough to create yourself, you will never be able to find yourself.

  Having made a mistake was wrong; staying with a mistake would be disastrous !

  Don't make decisions when you're angry. Don't make promises when you're happy.

  Trust takes years to build, seconds to break, and forever to repair.

  A promise means everything but once it is broken, sorry means nothing.

  Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it's the only way to live life completely.

  Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive.

  Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other.

  A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart.

  Meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be grateful.

  We must not allow other people's limited perceptions to define us.

  You lose yourself trying to hold on to someone who doesn't care about losing you.

  Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.

  Feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky. Conscious breathing is my anchor.

  Don’t let the bad days make you think you have a bad life.

  A smile can mean a thousand words, but it can also hide a thousand problems. 

  When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when character is lost, all is lost.

  The old believe everything; the middle-aged suspect everything; the young know everything.

  Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.

  Your finest work, your best movements, your joy, peace, and healing come when you love yourself.

  Be strong enough to let go and wise enough to wait for what you deserve.

  Don't cry over the past, it's gone.  Don't stress about the future, it hasn't arrived.  Live in the present and make it beautiful.

  Don’t compare your life to others; there’s no comparison between the sun and the moon; they both shine when it’s their time.

  Count your age by friends, not years. Count your life by smiles, not tears.

  The elevator to happiness, health and success is out of order ... The stairway, however, is always available.

  Life doesn't come with instructions. You may make mistakes, but you live and learn.
