You’re not selfish for wanting the same energy and love you give.

It’s okay to let go of those who couldn’t love you. Those who didn’t know how to. Those who failed to even try. It’s okay to outgrow them, because that means you filled the empty space in you with self-love instead. You’re outgrowing them because you’re growing into you. And that’s more than okay, that’s something to celebrate.

Finally I realized that I was never asking too much. I was just asking the wrong person.

It’s true: people can change. People can learn, grow, and surprise us. But if someone does the same thing, over and over again—if they keep hurting, disrespecting, or disappointing you—it’s time to accept the way things are and ask yourself if you can really live with this. You can’t make someone change their pattern if they’re not willing or ready, but you can stop participating in it.

All we can really do is love people. We can’t change them or make them do things they’re not ready to do. But we can love them… sometimes it’s from afar, but we can always send love their way.

Do yourself a favor and take mixed signals as a no.

A mistake that makes you humble is better than an achievement that makes you arrogant.

New beginnings are often disguised as painful endings.

People used to drive me crazy. Now I don’t get into their car.

Sometimes you just have to take a step back, take stock of your life, and recognize what isn’t serving you. It might be a relationship that causes you nothing but heartache, a pattern of behavior that sets you up for disappointment or failure, or even just a refusal to accept reality for what it is. Whatever it is that causes you pain, find the self-awareness to be honest with yourself and the strength to let it go. Nothing will change till you do.

Carve a tunnel of hope through the dark mountain of disappointment.

I learned that things don’t always turn out the way you planned, or the way you think they should. And I’ve learned that there are things that go wrong that don’t always get fixed or get put back together the way they were before. I’ve learned that some broken things stay broken, and I’ve learned that you can get through bad times and keep looking for better ones, as long as you have people who love you.

If you have a bad day, remember that tomorrow is a wonderful gift and a new chance to try again.

Life can still be beautiful, meaningful, fun, and fulfilling even if things don’t turn out the way you planned.

Accept that you will never be perfect, life will always have challenges, and other people will sometimes disappoint you. Acceptance is the first step toward peace.

When you learn to accept instead of expect, you’ll have fewer disappointments.

The more we shelter children from every disappointment, the more devastating future disappointments will be.

Never let success go to your head and never let failure go to your heart.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the things you did.

You may be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don’t try.
