upward, onward

I believe that you are a creation of every experience you’ve ever had. Choose them wisely.

Every word you’ve ever heard, every action you’ve ever seen, every place you’ve ever been, every person you’ve ever met, has shaped your path. Your thoughts become actions. Your actions become your world.

Something that I’ve been determined to learn, is how to quickly move past the vexation caused by others that simply do not care for my personality. It’s not something that I’m terrific at, and I haven’t gotten much practice, but I’m definitely getting the hang of dismissing those that simply do not care for me.

“Holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.”

What others think of you is none of your business. You cannot live a positive life if you focus only on the negative. Learn from not only your mistakes, but the mistakes of others as well.

“Out of sight, out of mind.”

You do not owe anyone an apology or an explanation. Anyone who has decided not to like you has already made up their minds, and it is not your responsibility to change it. So, remove yourself from their company. You cannot continue dancing with the devil and wonder why you’re still in hell.

“Don’t cry over a quarter when there’s a million dollars a head of you.”

Do not dwell on the handful of people that have decided not to like you, when there is a whole world full of people ready to love you.  After all, a lion does not lose sleep over the opinion of a sheep.
