Remember that sometimes not getting what you want is a wonderful stroke of luck.

I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not judge the universe.

The key to transforming our hearts and minds is to have an understanding of how our thoughts and emotions work.

Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.

Genuine love should first be directed at oneself. if we do not love ourselves, how can we love others?

Consider that not only do negative thoughts and emotions destroy our experience of peace, they also undermine our health.

By going beyond your own problems and taking care of others, you gain inner strength, self-confidence, courage, and a greater sense of calm.

The most important thing is transforming our minds, for a new way of thinking, a new outlook: we should strive to develop a new inner world.

With the realization of ones own potential and self-confidence in ones ability, one can build a better world.
