“Peace and happiness are not outside, at home, work, or among friends. They are where they always were: inside of us, waiting to be rediscovered.”

“Happiness is something we can find inside once we have obtained the insight that it will never come in sight if we look for it outside.”

“Contentment is an asset that we take for granted until we lose it. It's the brother of happiness, the sister of peace of mind, and the mother of purpose.”

“Whatever we embrace will embrace us back: misery or happiness, sadness or joy, guilt or virtue, regress or progress. We are what we choose to be.”

“Work diligently. Work hard. Focus. Perform as if you are at the Olympics. One day, unexpectedly, it will start paying off.”

“Persistence is the devious alter-ego of perseverance. Perseverance provides us the stamina to realize our visions, whereas persistence drives us into self-destruction.”

“Life is a constant flux of ups and downsA chain of happy smiles and edgy frownsJust know that the purpose of each despairIs to cherish your next peak when it's there”
