Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better take things as they come along with patience and equanimity.
It all depends on how we look at things, and not how they are in themselves.
Happiness is a choice, not a result. Nothing will make you happy until you choose to be happy. No person will make you happy unless you decide to be happy. Your happiness will not come to you. It can only come from you.
I want!!! Loveee skull heads!
When one door to happiness closes another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.
It is not what happens to us, but our response to what happens to us that hurts us.
Without intense and painful introspection and reflection, development is unlikely.
Don’t attach yourself to anyone who shows you the least bit of attention because you’re lonely. Loneliness is the human condition. No one is ever going to fill that space. The best you can do is know yourself; know what you want.
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.
