The Path to Growth
The only way that we live is by growing. The only way we grow is by changing. The only way we change is by learning. The only way we learn is by getting exposure. The only way we get exposure is by opening up our hearts and minds.
Living Your Own Destiny
It is better to live your own destiny imperfectly than to imitate someone else perfectly. It is wise to stop comparing yourself to others and choose to be happy and live your own life. We cannot control or change the behavior of others, but we can always choose how we respond to it.
Offering Empathy
At times, all our loved ones need is an empathetic ear and a consoling heart to share their sorrows. Just offering a listening ear and an understanding heart can be a great comfort. Don't wait for the right moment to start offering your ear and heart; start now and make each moment right.
Living Boldly
We all learn as we age that rules are made to be broken. Those bold enough live life on their own terms and never apologize for it. Going against set norms, refusing to obey, taking an uncommon route instead of the well-beaten path, laughing in the face of adversity, and leaping unexpectedly when others are measuring steps will make us stand out. Don't just be part of the crowd; lead it as you age.
Great Leadership
Great leaders can see the greatness in others when people themselves can't see it and lead them to their highest potential. This is done by taking control of group and individual attitudes and turning them positive to reach group objectives.
Effective Group Dynamics
Effective ways to improve group dynamics include making others feel important by using their names in conversations, expressing sincere gratitude, listening more than talking, talking more about them than yourself, being authentically interested, being sincere in your praise, and showing you care for them.
The Necessity of Change
Change may not always bring growth, but there is no growth without change. Dream your own dreams and achieve your own goals. Your journey is unique. Happiness doesn't depend on outward conditions; it depends on inner conditions. There is one sure way to find it—by controlling your thoughts.
Visioning Within
There is no better vision than visioning within. You can never go wrong with it. It is the true way to self-improvement that lets you serve those around you best. However, since every choice comes with a consequence, when you choose to serve those around you, you cannot escape the consequences of your choices, whether you like them or not.
The Stories We Tell Ourselves
Be careful of the stories you're telling yourself about your current circumstances. Remember, emotion without reason lets people walk all over you; reason without emotion is a mask for cruelty. But a smile says, "I like you. You make me happy. I am glad to see you."
Being Human
We generally think too much and feel too little. We need to be completely human: to feel, to give, to take, to laugh, to get lost, to be found, to dance, to love, and to lust. Never apologize for how you feel. No one can control how they feel.
Reforming the Majority
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to reform. The measure of intelligence is the ability to change. Don't waste your time with explanations for turning away from the majority; people only hear what they want to hear.
Knowing and Mastering
Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power. No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. A mind once enlightened cannot again become dark.
Reaching for the Stars
The desire to reach for the stars is ambitious. The desire to reach hearts is prudent. Learn to light a candle in the darkest moments of someone's life. Be the light that helps others see; it is what gives life its deepest significance.
The Nature of Wisdom
Wisdom cannot be imparted. Wisdom that a wise man attempts to impart always sounds like foolishness to someone else. Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. One can find it, live it, do wonders through it, but one cannot communicate and teach it.
Following Your Heart
Follow your heart, listen to the voice of your soul, and stop caring about what others think. Never complain and never explain. Resist the temptation of self-defense or making excuses. Honesty is the first chapter of the book of wisdom. The essence of being human is that one does not seek perfection.
The Power of Music
We talk when we cease to be at peace with our thoughts. Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent. We love the things we love for what they are. If that's not something to smile about, then I don't know what is.
The Value of Friendship
If I've learned anything about friendship, it's to hang in, stay connected, fight for them, and let them fight for you. Don't walk away, don't be distracted, don't be too busy or tired, and don't take them for granted. Friends are part of the glue that holds life and faith together.
The Seven Social Sins
The Seven Social Sins are wealth without work, pleasure without conscience, knowledge without character, commerce without morality, science without humanity, worship without sacrifice, and politics without principle.
Achieving Inner Peace
Learning to distance yourself from all negativity is one of the greatest lessons to achieve inner peace. A disciplined mind sees the good in every situation and looks on the best side of every event. A positive thought carries one ashore for sure.
The Stories We Live
We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be. It is better to get hurt by the truth than comforted with a lie. Some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment, and making the best of it without knowing what's going to happen next.
Letting Go
One day, in retrospect, the years of struggle will strike you as the most beautiful. Sometimes you will find that it is necessary to let things go simply because they are heavy. Let them go, just let go of them. Tie no weights to your ankles to hurdle your journey.
The Passage of Time
For last year's words belong to last year's language. And next year's words await another voice. Hopes and smiles from the threshold of the year to come whisper, "It sure will be happier." Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every new day find you a better person.
The Essentials of Happiness
They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world: someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for. The most important thing is to enjoy your life—to be happy—it's all that matters. You cannot protect yourself from sadness without protecting yourself from happiness.
The Nature of Happiness
If unshared, happiness can scarcely be called pronounced, as it would offer no taste. Happiness is not the absence of problems; it's the ability to deal with them. Every now and then, it seems fair to pause in your pursuit of happiness and just be happy for others around you.
Believing in Potential
Believe in infinite human potential. Limitations are those set upon oneself by someone else. Believe in human abilities and potential. One must never let self-doubt hold them captive. Wisdom is the reward for surviving one's own stupidity.
The Power of Education
Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence. A mind once enlightened cannot again become dark. It does not matter how slowly someone goes as long as they do not stop. A mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be ignited.
Blessings for the World
Best blessings for all around the world are more smiling, less worrying; more compassion, less judgment; more blessed, less stressed; and more affection, less hate. The most wasted of all days is one without merriment. Possession of knowledge does not kill the sense of wonder and mystery. Life thus goes on.
The Power of Scars
Scars have the strange power to remind us that our past is real. Life is too short to be unhappy. Wasting time in anger, regrets, worries, and grudges makes old scars more prominent and less presentable. Time, happiness, inner peace, integrity, love, character, manners, health, respect, morals, trust, patience, class, and dignity are the escape routes.
Overcoming Fear
Don't be pushed around by the fears in your mind. Be led by the dreams in your heart. It's only after you step outside your comfort zone that you begin to change, grow, and transform. Everything can be taken away from a person but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.
The Role of Friends
Someone is said to be successful because they had friends who believed in them, and they didn't have the heart to let them down. They must have stopped making negative judgmental assumptions about people they encountered. People of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them.
