“We have to be honest about what we want and take risks rather than lie to ourselves and make excuses to stay in our comfort zone.”

Count your blessings, not your problems. Count your own blessings, not someone else’s. Remember that jealousy is when you count someone else’s blessings instead of your own.

Believe in your infinite potential. Your only limitations are those you set upon yourself.

A smile puts you on the right track. A smile makes the world a beautiful place. When you lose your smile, you lose your way in the chaos of life.

Pursue what catches your heart, not what catches your eyes.

Happiness depends on your mindset and attitude.

Respect other people’s feelings. It might mean nothing to you, but it could mean everything to them.

The outer world is a reflection of the inner world. Other people’s perception of you is a reflection of them; your response to them is an awareness of you.

If you have a strong purpose in life, you don’t have to be pushed. Your passion will drive you there.

Life is about accepting the challenges along the way, choosing to keep moving forward, and savoring the journey.

You are not the victim of the world, but rather the master of your own destiny. It is your choices and decisions that determine your destiny.

More smiling, less worrying. More compassion, less judgment. More blessed, less stressed. More love, less hate.

Be the positive impact on the lives of others.

It’s your life; you don’t need someone’s permission to live the life you want. Be brave to live from your heart.

When the going gets tough, put one foot in front of the other and just keep going. Don’t give up.

If you want to be happy, do not dwell in the past, do not worry about the future, focus on living fully in the present.

Never lose hope. Storms make people stronger and never last forever.

You can’t comfort the afflicted with afflicting the comfortable.

No sin, no matter how momentarily pleasurable, comforting, or habitual, is worth missing what God has for us.

I felt it shelter to speak to you.

I get really afraid of those little comforts, those things that make us feel like we did something great, because I’ve done nothing. I’ve done nothing. I mean that sincerely.

Sanity is a cozy lie.

Most people are afraid of change, but if you look at it as something you can always count on, then it can be a comfort.

Before anything great is really achieved, your comfort zone must be disturbed.

The bourgeois prefers comfort to pleasure, convenience to liberty, and a pleasant temperature to the deathly inner consuming fire.
