“Stop comparing yourself to other people, just choose to be happy and live your own life.”

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.

Great calm, generous detachment, selfless love, disinterested effort: these are what make for success in life. If you can find peace in yourself and can spread comfort around you, you will be happier than an empress.

Happy is the man who has broken the chains which hurt the mind, and has given up worrying once and for all.

Every artist is an unhappy lover. And unhappy lovers want to tell their story.

One of the things I keep learning is that the secret of being happy is doing things for other people.

People who make mistakes and learn from them are role models too. I’m just happy to inspire growth and positivity.

The cross is not the terrible end to an otherwise godfearing and happy life, but it meets us at the beginning of our communion with Christ.

If you’re not happy being single, you’ll never be happy in a relationship. Get your own life, then share it.

Travel and tell no one, live a true love story and tell no one, live happily and tell no one, people ruin beautiful things.
