“The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.”

“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”

“When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves”

“Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we’ll ever do.”

“In times of pain, when the future is too terrifying to contemplate and the past too painful to remember, I have learned to pay attention to right now. The precise moment I was in was always the only safe place for me.”

“If you aim at nothing, you will hit it every time.”

“Keep yourself busy if you want to avoid depression. For me, inactivity is the enemy.”

“Some things are in our control and others not”

“Willpower is what separates us from the animals. It’s the capacity to restrain our impulses, resist temptation — do what’s right and good for us in the long run, not what we want to do right now. It’s central, in fact, to civilization.”

“When you are experiencing feelings of distress, access your thoughts before you point fingers at the external factors because it doesn’t matter what you feel, your thoughts have greater influence”
