My happiness grows in direct proportion to my acceptance, and in inverse proportion to my expectations.

All mistakes teach us something, so there are, in reality, no mistakes.

Optimism is a happiness magnet.

It is so easy to give, so exquisitely rewarding.

Find the thing you do well and do it again and again for the rest of your life.

If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it.

Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror. Just keep going. No feeling is final.

Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.

It's not your job to be likable. It's your job to be yourself. Someone will like you anyway.

Risk something or forever sit with your dreams.

My life is full of mistakes. They’re like pebbles that make a good road.

All you have to do is take a close look at yourself and you will understand everyone else.
