People grow when they are loved well. If you want to help others heal, love them without an agenda.

True happiness is to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future, not to amuse ourselves with either hopes or fears but to rest satisfied with what we have, which is sufficient, for he that is so wants nothing. The greatest blessings of mankind are within us and within our reach. A wise man is content with his lot, whatever it may be, without wishing for what he has not.

What you think of yourself is much more important than what people think of you.

You playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightening about shrinking so that others won’t feel uncomfortable around you. As you let your own light shine, you indirectly give others permission to do the same.

You have power over your mind – not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.

They prefer to devote their social energies to close friends, colleagues, and family.

Many have a horror of small talk, but enjoy deep discussions.
