1) “Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart” — Marcus Aurelius.

Accept your life and you find peace. Love the rich cast of characters in your life, for shared foibles and frailty, and connect to your life’s theatre. No greater joy exists.

2) “I’ve had a lot of worries in my life, most of which never happened.” — Mark Twain

Worry freezes the mind. We lock ourselves from life to hunt for solutions to self perpetuating dramas. Choose freedom.

3) “I am not what happened to me I am what I choose to become.” — C. Jung

We are each wounded, we each experience suffering. To blame wastes life, where we might instead celebrate our remarkable growth and potential.

4) “The relationship you can’t end is the one you have with yourself. So, as much and as often as you can, put your best energy there”

To love yourself is to understand you are as valuable and no more valuable than anyone else. Assess the people in your life, they reflect your self worth and remember you are fine as you are.

5) “The root of suffering is attachment.”- Buddha

The more we grasp for more the more we feel hollow. Love, recognition or possessions will never complete us. Only gratitude for the experience of our life and love for ourselves and others.
