1. Happiness is a choice. It is not a thing we buy. It’s not our circumstances or a place we arrive at. It is already within us. It’s our choice to tap into it each and every day.

2. All emotions are beautiful and purposeful. This nonsense about “think positive and only good things will come is Bullshit. My darkest days have brought me to my brightest days only because I was willing to love and embrace every bit of my darkness.

18. Unconditionally loving others begins with unconditionally loving ourselves.

19. The more grateful I am for every challenge and obstacle in my life the more I am able to find the lesson in what the challenge is trying to teach me. Complaining is never an option.

21. Success is a very personal thing. You make the rules according to your own heart.

22. Fate is the hand we are given. Destiny requires taking the hand we are given and turning it into our own unique creation of goodness. This requires some serious straight up commitment.

23. It’s possible to love someone and let them go. Sometimes letting them go is the most loving thing you can do.

27. Gossip is poison. When you put down others, you are portraying a part of how you really feel about yourself. Confident, fulfilled, happy people don’t waste energy on putting others down. Their only focus is on lifting others up.
