~Worrying does not empty tomorrow of its troubles.... it empties today of its strength~~To be nobody but yourself in a world that is doing its best to make you just like everybody else means to fight the greatest battle there is to fight and to never stop fighting~

~LOVE PEOPLE AND USE THINGS - NOT LOVE THINGS AND USE PEOPLE~

~What destroys our happiness? Envy. Being busy with desiring what other people have. This takes our focus away from appreciating all the wonderful things we have, leading to a sense of lack and unhappiness. Learn appreciation by imagining what life would be like if the things, people, qualities, abilities you do have were taken away. Every time you find yourself fixated on the glittering lives in the pages of People, or the shiny new toys your neighbor has, bring your focus back to your life. Come back home to yourself, to your life, and look around. What if these things weren’t here tomorrow? How much would you miss them? ~
