What you hear repeatedly, you will eventually believe.

Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.  Dan Stanford

Have patience with all things, but first with yourself.  Never confuse your mistakes with your value as a human being.  You're a perfectly valuable, creative, worthwhile person simply because you exist and no amount of triumphs and tribulations can ever change that.  Unconditional self-acceptance is the core of a peaceful mind.  St. Francis de Sales.

Pain and suffering is inevitable but misery is optional.

Happiness comes through the doors you didn't even know you left open.

You have the capacity to chose what you think about.  If you choose to think about past hurts, you will continue to feel bad.  While it's true you can't change the effect past influences had on you once, you can change the effect they have on  you now.  Gary McKay, PhD.

If you always do what you've always done, you'll get always get what you always got.  Karl Albrecht

The bubbling brook would lose its song if you remove the rocks.

No one can hurt or criticize you without your permission to do so.

If you think you're too small to make a difference, you haven't been in bed with a mosquito.  Anita Roddick.

Smile often, even if you don't feel like it.  Smiling is therapy for your soul.
