Going back into the negative past to find happiness is like trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear

Life is like any other contact sport. You may encounter hardships of one sort or another. Wise people find happiness not in the absence of such hardships, but in their ability to understand them when they occur.

Your thoughts are like the artist's brush. They create a personal picture of the reality you live in.

All feelings derive and become alive, whether negative or positive, from the power of Thought

If the only thing people learned was not to be afraid of their experience, that alone would change the world.

Life is like any other contact sport you’re gonna get your knocks. But it’s not the knocks that count, it’s how you handle them. If you handle them with anger, distrust, jealousy, hate, this in return is what you’re going to get. But if you handle these knocks with love and understanding, they don’t mean much. They just dissipate.
