  1. Make peace with your past, so it won’t mess up the present.
  2. What others think of you is none of your business.
  3. Time heals almost everything, so give it time.
  4. Don’t compare your life to others and don’t judge them. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
  5. Stop thinking too much. It’s alright not to know the answers. They may come to you when you least expect it.
  6. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
  7. Smile. You don’t own all the problems in the world. Don’t try to make them your own.

Choose Gratitude

“Gratitude as a discipline involves a conscious choice. I can choose to be grateful even when my emotions and feelings are still steeped in hurt and resentment. It is amazing how many occasions present themselves in which I can choose gratitude instead of a complaint.” – Henri Nouwen

“Listening, like reading, is primarily an activity of the mind, not of the ear or of the eye. When the mind is not actively involved in the process, it should be called hearing, not listening…” – Mortimer Adler

Falling On My Face

While walking through a parking lot, I tripped and fell flat on my face. As I was lying there, a woman stopped her car and called out, “Are you hurt?”

“No, I’m fine,” I said.

“Oh, good,” she continued. “Will you be vacating your parking space now?”
