The only thing that will make you happy is being happy with who you are, and not who people think you are.

There comes a time in your life when you realize all you can do is say, "Screw it, I'm doing things my way!" That's the time you stop planning for someone else's expectations and start tackling things that are important to you right away. That's when you live life according to your own morals and values. That's when you can be at your happiest.

Those who seem to have the best, make the best of what they have.

Be strong, because things will get better. It may be stormy now, but it never rains forever.

True happiness is found when what you think, what you say, and what you do are all in perfect harmony.

The happiest people I know don’t get angry over what is lost, but instead show gratefulness for what is left.

No matter how good or bad you have it, wake up each day thankful for your life. Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs.

Getting extremely angry and enraged about something someone else did is equivalent to you punishing yourself for the mistakes of others.

Sometimes tears are a sign of unspoken happiness, and a smile is sign of silent pain.

True enough, many of us have been hurt, and are reluctant to trust someone to love us again. In order to avoid feelings of loneliness we must first learn to let go of our pasts, and try to embrace the fact that sometimes in life you will get hurt. Don't waste time building up walls, when you should be devoting your time to building bridges.

Many of the things we desire are expensive. But the truth is, the things that really satisfy us are totally free - love, laughter and good relationships.

You can't change what has happened, but you can choose how you're going to deal with it. Only you can choose your mood, so stay positive and don't let negativity get you down.

Inner peace is being able to rest at night knowing you haven't used or taken advantage of anyone to get to where you are in life.

The opportunity is always there to make best out of it.

Happiness is not determined by what's happening around you, but rather what's happening inside you. Most people depend on others to gain happiness, but the truth is, it always comes from within.

Don't rely on someone else for your happiness and self worth. Only you can be responsible for that. If you can't love and respect yourself - no one else will be able to make that happen. Accept who you are - completely; the good and the bad - and make changes as YOU see fit - not because you think someone else wants you to be different.

PEACE - It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, no trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart. Peace is not found elsewhere, it comes from within.
