deal with these words in mind so far.

“This too shall pass.”

The pain will pass, but so will the other things that I may not always have around to enjoy. It’s just a simple reminder that everything is fleeting and temporary.

Happiness requires the ability to embrace uncertainty.

Happiness has everything to do with just living for today– something most of us are slow to master, if at all. People think that they’ll be happy once they have this thing or that thing, or at the very least, that they know love and success and wonderful things are coming. It’s like we need something to make today’s suffering worth it. But here’s the thing: tomorrow may never come. Love and success and wonderful things may never come, or they may, and they may leave just as quickly. Nothing is certain but what we have today, so it’s the only logical thing to base our happiness on.

Being kind is more powerful than you probably realize.

we -soon- will be amazed at how many people, hearts and opportunities open up when we open our heart to them. It’s a tricky business, kindness, because we live in a world rampant with cruelty, and some may trickle in. Don’t let it close us.

Consider trying to adopt some qualities of the person you’d like to fall in love with. By that I mean, love ourselves first.

We should always be our own person, I don’t mean to say that we should base our own self around someone else, I just mean to propose another way to learn to love ourselves. Very often, the qualities that we would ideally like in a partner are the ones that we wish we had ourselves. Don’t wait for someone else to complete you.

and the most important is.............

Never cease to be thankful.
