If you’re brave enough to say goodbye, life will reward you with a new hello.
The eyes are the mirror of the soul and reflect everything that seems to be hidden; and like a mirror, they also reflect the person looking into them.
Sometimes you have to travel a long way to find what is near
However good we are, however correctly we seek to lead our lives, tragedies do occur. We can blame others, look for justification, imagine how our lives would have been different without them. But none of that matters: they have happened, and that is that. From this point on, it is necessary that we review our own lives, overcome fear, and begin the process of reconstruction.
Haters are confused admirers who can’t understand why everybody else likes you
The simple things are also the most extraordinary things, and only the wise can see them.
Life is not about good answers, it is about interesting questions.
Don't give to anyone the power to put you down. Haters are losers pretending to be winners.
Each human being is unique, each with their own qualities, instincts, forms of pleasure, and desire for adventure. However, society always imposes on us a collective ways of behaving, and people never stop to wonder why they should behave like that. They just accept it, the way typists accepted the fact that the QWERTY keyboard was the best possible one. Have you ever met anyone is your entire life who asked why the hands of a clock should go in one particular direction and not the other?
How people treat other people is a direct reflection of how they feel about themselves.
Don't say maybe if you want to say no.
What is success? It is being able to go to bed each night with your soul at peace
If we don't face our fears, our fears will chase us forever.
There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.
