Let go of the things that are rolling back your suffering. Don’t hand onto painful memories just because you’re afraid to forget. Don't spend your time hoping someone will suffer the consequences for what they did to your heart. For then you're allowing them to hurt you a second time in your mind. Find beauty in goodbyes. Learn the lessons of the past to face tomorrow with strength and understanding. Look forward – to doors God opens for you. And when you trust Him, you have an assurance that you are not just choosing a door at random – He walks you through the one He wants you to enter.

Appreciate life itself even it is not perfect. Contentment is not the fulfillment of what you wish for, but appreciation of what you have. You can't leave footprints if you walk on tiptoe...this what living life means. You can never get what you want if you're too scared to get hurt. All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on. Be yourself. Life is precious as it is. All the elements for your happiness are already here. There is no need to run, strive, search or struggle. Just be. Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact. Life is an effort that deserves a better course. We can't have all that we desire, but God give us all that we deserve.
