- Chinese proverb often quoted by Eleanor Roosevelt
The "stories" we choose to tell about our past
are never what a video camera would have recorded.

The difference is that one story causes us to suffer,
while the other brings us joy. I choose joy.

Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness,

Consider a parent who says,
"Look at the sacrifices I'm making so you can have a better life."

is the noble way to live.

other people who are willing to tell you who you are,
which are usually judgmental people ...
we should really surround ourselves with the ones
that adore us and believe in the highest of us.
- Jewel
