there are so many lessons in life
- You should sit quietly for 15 minutes every day to gather your thoughts; unless you're too busy, in which case you should sit for an hour.
-Fairytales are more than worthwhile; not because they teach us that dragons exist, but because they teach us that dragons can be conquered.
-We are incapable of loving another unless we love ourselves, just as we are incapable of teaching our children self-discipline unless we ourselves are self-disciplined.
-If you're being mistreated, lied to or cheated on then it's time for you to save yourself and move on.
-The more you sweat in times of peace and harmony, the more prepared you will be and the less you will bleed when you're hit by hard times.
-Never fear the shadows of your past mistakes. They simply mean there's a new light shining somewhere nearby.
-Tolerance is the highest form of intelligence.
-We should review our mistakes and learn from them, but never carry them forward into the future with us.
-If you forgive and let go of it then you no longer have to relive it.
-Learn from your own mistakes, but also look around and learn from the mistakes others are making.
