More Quotes by Mitch Albom
If you hold back on the emotions--if you don't allow yourself to go all the way through them--you can never get to being detached, you're too busy being afraid. You're afraid of the pain, you're afraid of the grief. You're afraid of the vulnerability that loving entails. But by throwing yourself into these emotions, by allowing yourself to dive in, all the way, over your heard even, you experience them fully and completely.
Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.
the words people do not speak are louder than the ones they do.
You can find something truly important in an ordinary minute.
Each affects the other, and the other affects the next, and the world is full of stories, but the stories are all one.
You know what really offers you satisfaction? Offering others what you have to give.

Accept what you are able to do and what you are not able to do. Accept the past as past, without denying it or discarding it. Learn to forgive yourself and to forgive others. Don't assume that it's too late to get involved.
...if you're trying to show off for people at the top, forget it. They will look down on you anyhow. And if you're trying to show off for people at the bottom, forget it. They will only envy you. Status will get you nowhere. Only an open heart will allow you to float equally between everyone.
