"With one kind gesture you can change a life. One person at a time you can change the world."
Steve Maraboli

“The sense of unhappiness is so much easier to convey than that of happiness. In misery we seem aware of our own existence, even though it may be in the form of a monstrous egotism: this pain of mine is individual, this nerve that winces belongs to me and to no other. But happiness annihilates us: we lose our identity.” Graham Greene.
(Letting go of our egotism/identity will release us of the pain, as we learn not to focus on ourselves).

A New Earth, by Eckhart Tolle....and even better watch the webcast he did with Oprah while reading it.

"We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of their treasures."
Thornton Wilder

Everything that happens in your life today will either appear negative or positive. Keep in mind whatever happens must have a positive side to it.
A large majority of the population seems to be mentally programmed to pay attention to the negative side of life and unfortunately, ignore the positive.
Make a decision right now that, regardless of what happens today, you are going to look for the positive aspect of what's happening. Remember... every cloud has a silver lining. Do this again tomorrow and the next day until it becomes a habit to see the positive in everything. You will feel better, you will be more productive, and you will have more friends.
Bob Proctor

The obstacles of your past can become the gateways that lead you to new beginnings.

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend."
Melody Beattie
