In everyone’s life, there surely comes a point when you get tired of chasing everyone, when you try to fix everything but it's not giving up, it’s realizing you don’t need certain people and things and the drama they bring. Don’t bother reserving a space in your heart for people who do not make an effort to stay.
If you want to fly, you have to give up the things that weigh you down – which are not always as obvious and easy as it sounds.
The more things you own, the more your things own you. Less truly gives you more freedom. It’s much harder to change the length of your life than it is to change the depth of it.
Making progress involves risk. You can’t make it to second base with your foot on first.
Every morning you are faced with two choices:
You can aimlessly stumble through the day not knowing what’s going to happen and simply react to events at a moment’s notice, or you can go through the day directing your own life and making your own decisions and destiny.
It’s okay to fall apart for a little while. You don’t always have to pretend to be strong, and there is no need to constantly prove that everything is going well. You shouldn't be concerned with what other people are thinking either – cry if you need to – it’s healthy to shed your tears. The sooner you do, the sooner you will be able to smile again.
A smile doesn't always mean a person is happy. Sometimes it simply means they are strong enough to face their problems.
You can’t take things too personally. Rarely do people do things because of you. They do things because of them.
A smile is a choice, not a miracle. True happiness comes from within. Don’t make the mistake of waiting on someone or something to come along and make you happy.
When you stop chasing the wrong things you give the right things a chance to catch you.
Everything is a life lesson. Everyone you meet, everything you encounter. They’re all part of the learning experience we call ‘life'. Never forget to acknowledge the lesson, especially when things don’t go your way. And the lesson you just learned is the first step towards your way.
Regardless of how filthy your past has been, your future is still spotless. Don’t start your day with the broken pieces of yesterday. Every day is a fresh start. Each day is a new beginning. Every morning we wake up is the first day of the rest of our life.
