​"It's not the situation that's causing your stress, it's your thoughts, and you can change that right here and now. You can choose to be peaceful right here and now. Peace is a choice, and it has nothing to do with what other people do or think."

                                                                    --- Gerald G. Jampolsky

“Don’t be distracted by criticism. Remember, the only taste of success some people get is to take a bite out of you.”

​“Courage isn’t the absence of fear; it’s choosing progress despite it.”

                                                                           --– Maya Thornton

​“Though fairy tales end after ten pages, our lives do not. We are multi-volume sets. In our lives, even though one episode amounts to a crash and burn, there is always another episode awaiting us. And then another. There are always more opportunities to get it right. To fashion our lives in the ways we deserve to have them. Don’t waste your time hating a failure. Failure is a greater teacher than success.”
