It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.
We learn wisdom from failure much more than from success. We often discover what will do, by finding out what will not do; and probably he who never made a mistake never made a discovery.
Nothing in nature is for itself. Rivers don't drink water, Trees don't eat fruit, the Sun doesn't use heat. Living for others is the way of Life".
Don't promise when you're happy. Don't reply when you're angry. Don't decide when you're sad.
Once you realize you deserve better, letting go will be the best decision you will ever make.
James 1:6
But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.

Forgive To Forget
A key principle to remain light and stable in relationships is – forgive and forget - it’s a well-known principle – one that we sometimes find difficult to practice. It can be modified to forgive to forget. Sometimes we spend many years with so much bitterness inside us for a particular person, with an inner violence of wanting to make the other pay (emotions of revenge), the one who has supposedly hurt you. If you don’t strike back immediately, you at least want to keep this guilt card in your pocket, to be pulled out at a later date: Oh yes, well what about the time when you…. We keep this bitterness inside us because we haven't forgiven. It does not resolve the situation; the only thing it does is increase our pain, makes us heavy and does not let us remain in peace. So the key is that if we do not forgive, we cannot forget. When someone has offended or insulted us, the last thing we want to do is to let it go. And yet, if our desire is to have a healthy, lasting relationship, that is exactly what we’ve got to do.
Sometimes, when it is a question of a broken relationship, it is not only a matter of forgiving the other, but of forgiving yourself for having allowed yourself to enter that experience. It was you that took the step to allow that experience to be entered into. If you hadn't taken that step, you wouldn't have had that experience. You accepted that challenge, that relationship, and what might happen in it – you were aware of the possibilities when you entered in the relationship. So not only do you have to learn to forgive the other, but also to forgive yourself in such situations. Only then will you be able to forget.

I hope you all had a great day. Remember, don't dwell on the trials in life. Focus on the blessings in your life!
You can have anything you want if you are willing to give up the belief that you can’t have it.
I have faith that God is living out a divine plan through me. Have faith in God. - Mark 11:22
Three simple rules in life
1. If you do not go after what you want, you’ll never have it.
2. If you do not ask the answer will always be no.
3. If you do no step forward, you will always be in the same place.

Two things define you. Your patience when you have nothing, and your attitude when you have everything.
A man's way of doing things is the direct result of the way he thinks about things.
