It’s okay to stop doing and just be.

Pause and remember: Every single event in your life, especially the difficult lessons, have made you smarter, stronger, and wiser than you were yesterday.

One day we will realize that big hearts will bring us more peace than big weapons.

Don’t underestimate the healing power of these three things: music, the ocean, and the stars.

Some people and events are difficult to deal with, but they can only stress us if we let them. Breathe in calm, breathe out chaos, and anchor yourself in peace.

 You can be a good person with a kind heart and still say no.

Don’t let people pull you into their storm. Pull them into your peace.

Like a sandcastle, all is temporary. Build it, tend it, enjoy it. And when the time comes, let it go.

Thoughts fuel emotions. If you don’t like what you’re feeling, step back and examine what you’re thinking. Pain is inevitable, but you’ll suffer a lot less if you disengage from your thoughts.

Be the reason someone believes in the goodness of people.

Breathe in. Breathe out. Let it be.

A thought is harmless unless we believe it. It’s not our thoughts, but our attachment to our thoughts, that causes suffering. Attaching to a thought means believing that it’s true, without inquiring. A belief is a thought that we’ve been attaching to, often for years.

Sitting silently beside a friend who is hurting may be the best gift we can give.

Fill your life with experiences, not thing. Have stories to tell, not stuff to show.

Never think you are weak if you cry. Every tear is replaced with wisdom and strength.

Remember the time you thought you could never survive? You did it, and you can do it again.

You don’t need anyone’s affection or approval in order to be good enough. When someone rejects or abandons or judges you, it isn’t actually about you. It’s about them and their own insecurities, limitations, and needs, and you don’t have to internalize that. Your worth isn’t contingent upon other people’s acceptance of you—it’s something inherent.

Don’t underestimate yourself by comparing yourself with others. It’s our differences that make us unique and beautiful.

People are who they are. You can’t force someone to be who you want them to be. If you choose to stay, do it because you can accept them, not because you think you can change them.

Ships don’t sink because of the water around them; ships sink because of the water that gets in them. Don’t let what’s happening around you get inside you and weigh you down.
