Inner light

Happiness through the pursuit of a goal

If you want to live a happy life tie it to a goal. Not to people or things.

Self esteem

Let someone love you just the way you are – as flawed as you might be, as unattractive as you sometimes feel, and as unaccomplished as you think you are. To believe that you must hide all the parts of you that are broken, out of fear that someone else is incapable of loving what is less than perfect, is to believe that sunlight is incapable of entering a broken window and illuminating a dark room.

Listen to your inner voice

Should you open your ears and listen, you would hear your own voice in all voices.

Viewing life for living life

Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life ; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.
