"Happiness is not by chance, but by choice."
Jim Rohn --- Submitted by Jazmyne D. --- Florida
It inspires me to realize that no one is born angry and can use it as an excuse for their everyday life. If someone isn't happy it's because they choose not to be. If you want to be happy, choose to be happy. If you wake up in the morning and choose negative thoughts, then that's on you. If you wake up and choose positive thoughts, you will be happy because you chose to be, not because someone else causes you to be. Happiness is your choice no matter where you come from or who you are. If you want to be happy, be happy. :))
"Does the perfect person exist? Perfect - a seven letter word that shouldn't even exist, because it's not real. There isn't such a things as perfect person as everybody makes mistakes and it's up to each of us to decide how we feel about our mistakes."
Written in 2023 by Radka Kozielova --- Great Britian
Often when I work with clients, they are looking for how to be perfect. But when I ask them, "What is a perfect person like", many do not have an answer. To me perfection is the alignment of four things: your intention, your action, your core values and your self-esteem. When we feel we are living life to the fullest, we embrace our mistakes and appreciate them to the fullest. If we reflect and use our minds as a mirror and accept and learn from our mistakes, we feel in a way perfect. But by trying to be someone else and comparing our self to others, we show a lack of self-esteem.
"The past is not a place where we should reside. It is a place of higher learning where we go to review life lessons. Retreat not, and keep your eyes on what is in front of you."
Written in 2023 by Ramon Riveraalmena --- Georgia
We should never live in the past, but learn from the past.
"Each time I stand up, there comes an opposite force to pull me down. Each time I fight back, there comes an opposite competent to prove me wrong. Each time I try to smile, there comes thousands of worries and stress to depress me. Each time I start enjoying my life, there comes my fate in which there is only downfall written. This is the reality of life. Accept it early and keep on moving. Always take inspiration from those who are in worst conditions and still fighting for a good life."

"Do not compromise your conscience for friendship. If they don't value & respect your morals, they won't value the adjustments you make."
Written in 2022 by Sharin Dass --- India
Sometimes we seek approval or validation from people to make us feel better. But if we are doing the right thing (not out of hatred, jealousy, or anger), we don't need to convince others to give their approval. Your conscience is your validation.

"A human being is born to become God and this is the principle. A rose flower is grown in a rose plant. In the same fashion, whether a human being knows it or not, a perpetual action is running within the body; how he or she will be transformed into God.
