I woke up. I have clothes to wear. I have running water. I have food to eat. I am thankful.

One of the greatest gifts you can give someone is thanking them for being part of your life.

Today be thankful and think how rich you are. Your family is priceless. Your health is wealth. Your time is gold.

Love is the ability and willingness to allow those that you care for to be what they choose for themselves without any insistence that they satisfy you.

Breathe. You’re going to be okay. Breathe and remember that you’ve been in this place before. You’ve been this uncomfortable and anxious and scared, and you’ve survived. Breathe and know that you can survive this too. These feelings can’t break you. They’re painful and debilitating, but you can sit with them and eventually, they will pass. Maybe not immediately, but sometime soon, they are going to fade and when they do, you’ll look back at this moment and laugh for having doubted your resilience. I know it feels unbearable right now, but keep breathing, again and again. This will pass. I promise it will pass.

Always try to leave people better than you found them. Hug the hurt. Kiss the broken. Befriend the lost. Love the lonely.

Don’t let yourself be controlled by three things: people, money, or past experiences.

Today I will not stress over things I can’t control.

Forgiveness is the choice to see people as they are now. When we’re mad at people, we’re angry because of something they said or did before this moment. By letting go of the past, we make room for miracles to replace our grievances.

No matter what people think of you, always keep singing your own song.

More smiling, less worrying. More compassion, less judgment. More blessed, less stressed. More love, less hate.

Don’t make assumptions. Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.

What hurts you today makes you stronger tomorrow.

A manifesto for a simple life: Eat less, move more. Buy less, make more. Stress less, laugh more. Feel blessed, love more. Find a quiet spot and breathe.

If you want to be trusted, be honest.

A little more kindness. A little less judgment.

In case no one told you today:
 You’re beautiful. You’re loved. You’re needed. You’re alive for a reason. 
You’re stronger than you think. You’re going to get through this. 
I’m glad you’re alive. Don’t give up!

Talk less. Listen more. Feel deeper. Love better. Open your eyes. Experience life.

I can choose to let it define me, confine me, refine me, or outshine me, or I can choose to move on, and leave it behind me.

If it comes, let it. If it goes, let it.
