The direction of our lives needs to be positive. We weren’t born to cause trouble or do harm to others. For our life to be of value, I think we must develop good human qualities – warmth, kindness, compassion. Then our life will become meaningful and more peaceful – happier.     - Dalai Lama









Why you should never give up:


1. You haven’t tried everything yet.

2. You’re closer to success than you think.

3. If you don’t finish, someone else will.

4. Right before success there is a dark place.

5. If you give up - then what?

6. Past failure does not predict the future.




"Man is not born to solve the problem of the universe, but to find out what he has to do; and to restrain himself within the limits of his comprehension."

J.W. von Goethe

"Everything that happens to you is your teacher. The secret is to sit at the feet of your own life and be taught by it." Mahatma Gandhi 


When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it--always.

― Mahatma Gandhi



“Instead of saying ‘let it go,’ we should probably say ‘let it be.’ This recognizes that the mind won’t let go and the problem may not go away, and it allows you to form a healthier relationship with what’s bothering you.” ~ Jon Kabat-Zinn
