“Learn to light a candle in the darkest moments of someone’s life. Be the light that helps others see; it is what gives life its deepest significance.”

You are in charge of your own happiness; you don’t need to wait for other people’s permission to be happy.

Everyone you meet is a part of your journey, but not all of them are meant to stay in your life. Some people are just passing through to bring you gifts; either they’re blessings or lessons.

Until you step into the unknown, you don’t know what you’re made of.

Believe in your heart that you’re meant to live a life full of passion, purpose, magic and miracles.

The past is a place of reference, not a place of residence; the past is a place of learning, not a place of living.

Sometimes all a person wants is an empathetic ear; all he or she needs is to talk it out. Just offering a listening ear and an understanding heart for his or her suffering can be a big comfort.

The more you feed your mind with positive thoughts, the more you can attract great things into your life.

If you believe very strongly in something, stand up and fight for it.

Do not let the memories of your past limit the potential of your future. There are no limits to what you can achieve on your journey through life, except in your mind.

Always find opportunities to make someone smile, and to offer random acts of kindness in everyday life.

Dreams don’t work unless you take action. The surest way to make your dreams come true is to live them.

You never change your life until you step out of your comfort zone; change begins at the end of your comfort zone.

A smart person knows how to talk. A wise person knows when to be silent.

Success is not how high you have climbed, but how you make a positive difference to the world.

Do not let arrogance go to your head and despair to your heart; do not let compliments go to your head and criticisms to your heart; do not let success go to your head and failure to your heart.

It takes sunshine and rain to make a rainbow. There would be no rainbows without sunshine and rain.

Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darkness of other people.

I’m drawn between the light and dark.

Rock has always been the devil’s music… I believe that rock & roll is dangerous… I feel that we’re only heralding something even darker than ourselves.

Become a possibilitarian. No matter how dark things seem to be or actually are, raise your sights and see possibilities — always see them, for they’re always there.

Start being brave about everything. Drive out darkness and spread light. Don’ look at your weaknesses. Realize instead that in Christ crucified you can do everything.

Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will.

The darkness doesn’t stand a chance against the sun.

I’ll see your darkness and love you anyway.
