An entire sea of water can’t sink a ship unless it gets inside the ship. Similarly, the negativity of the world can’t put you down unless you allow it to get inside you.
Unless your heart, your soul, and your whole being are behind every decision you make, the words from your mouth will be empty, and each action will be meaningless. Truth and confidence are the roots of happiness
Sometimes you climb out of bed in the morning and you think, I’m not going to make it, but you laugh inside — remembering all the times you’ve felt that way.
We are all striving for perfection: the perfect man, the perfect friends, perfect emotional self-control--the perfect life. Perhaps so many people are unhappy because 'perfection' is not achievable, and they chase a goal that is always out of reach. That does not mean we each should not want to chase those things we define as "perfect", what will complete us. Maybe all we can be are perfect people "in progress", and maybe that will be enough and perfect in itself.
