Sometimes your joy is the
Source of your smile,
But sometimes your smile
Can be the source of your joy.
- Thich Nhat Hanh
Don't rely on someone else for
Your happiness and self-worth.
Only you can be responsible for that.
If you can't love and respect yourself…
No one else will be able to make that happen.
Accept who you are…
Completely; the good and the bad…
And make changes as YOU see fit…
Not because you think someone else
Wants you to be different.
- Stacey Charter
The most beautiful people we have known
Are those who have known defeat,
Known suffering, known struggle, known loss,
And have found their way out of the depths.
These persons have an appreciation,
A sensitivity and an understanding of life that
Fills them with compassions, gentleness, and
A deep loving concern.
Beautiful people do not just happen.
- Elizabeth Kubler-Ross
