“People complain because roses have thorns; I am thankful that thorns have roses because I have finally learned not to pick them the next time around.”

“A thorn in your side will drive you to find someone or thing to remove it. Therefore, don't hate your enemies. Thank them. Without them, you wouldn't have traveled as far in your life to find peace and happiness.”

“We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorns have roses.”

“you can complain because roses have thorns or you can rejoice because thorns have roses.”

“If you think people in your life are normal, then you undoubtedly have not spent any time getting to know the abnormal side of them.”

“I have always found it odd that people who think passive aggressively ignoring a person is making a point to them. The only point it makes to anyone is your inability to articulate your point of view because deep down you know you can’t win. It’s better to assert yourself and tell the person you are moving on without them and why, rather than leave a lasting impression of cowardness on your part in a person’s mind by avoiding them.”

“Of all the questions I have asked my readers this is the most important: What would you do if you weren't afraid? When you finally give wings to that answer then you have found your life's purpose.”
