This is my real secret to being a joyful person: I make my life easy. I spend more time being grateful for what I have instead of focusing on what isn't working. I no longer believe that people have to do things my way and that I have to be perfect.

Gratitude is looking on the brighter side of the life, even if it means hurting your eyes

Never follow anyone else's path, unless you're in the woods and you're lost.

The problem with labels is that they lead to stereotypes and stereotypes lead to generalizations and generalizations lead to assumptions and assumptions lead back to stereotypes. It’s a vicious cycle, and after you go around and around a bunch of times you end up believing that all vegans only eat cabbage and all gay people love musicals.

The most important thing in your life is to live your life with integrity and to not give in to peer pressure to try to be something that you're not.

Laugh. Laugh as much as you can. Laugh until you cry. Cry until you laugh.

It shows you are thinking and feeling

Beauty is about being comfortable in your own skin. It's about knowing and accepting who you are.

It's our challenges and obstacles that give us layers of depth and make us interesting

Find out who you are and be that person. That's what your soul was put on this Earth to be. Find that truth, live that truth and everything else will come.
