We never get upset over what happens. Never. We get upset because of preconceived ideas as to what we think should happen, what we want to happen. When our preference clashes with the reality, we get hurt. Rid yourself of all preconceived ideas as to what should happen. You are then at peace whatever happens.

Words are singularly the most powerful force available to humanity. We can choose to use this force constructively with words of encouragement, or destructively using words of despair.

You're going to go through tough times - that's life. But I say, 'Nothing happens to you, it happens for you.' See the positive in negative events. — Joel Osteen

I have talked about choosing rather than acting from compulsion. When you feel that you have to live according to someone else's direction or live so that you never disappoint or hurt anybody, then your life is a continual assessment of whether or not you please other people.

Love hurts. There is nothing as painful as heartbreak. But in order to learn to love again you must learn to trust again.

The disappointment has come - not because God desires to hurt you or make you miserable or to demoralize you or ruin your life or keep you from ever knowing happiness. He wants you to be perfect and complete in every aspect, lacking nothing. It's not the easy times that make you more like Jesus, but the hard times.

In these times I don't, in a manner of speaking, know what I want; perhaps I don't want what I know and want what I don't know. ― Marsilio Ficino

I search but never find, hurt but never cry I work and forever try but I'm cursed, so never mind.

You will evolve past certain people. Let yourself. ― Mandy Hale
