Bitterness imprisons life; love releases it. Bitterness paralyzes life; love empowers it. Bitterness sours life; love sweetens it. Bitterness sickens life; love heals it. Bitterness blinds life; love anoints its eye. – Harry Emerson Fosdick

The only life worth living is the adventurous life. Of such a life the dominant characteristic is that it is unafraid. It is unafraid of what other people think…it does not adapt either its pace or its objectives to the pace and objectives of its neighbors. It thinks its own thoughts, it reads its own books, it develops its own hobbies, and it is governed by its own conscience. The herd may graze where it pleases, but he who lives the adventurous life will remain unafraid when he finds himself alone. – Raymond B Fosdick

“People like to say that everything’s ‘perfect,’ and you look around and see that life is anything but that! But just as a weight bench is perfect for strengthening muscles but too uncomfortable for sleeping or sitting back and watching TV, life provides the resistance you need to learn and grow. You didn’t come here to sit back, relax and feel happy all the time; you came here to grow, and the way to grow is to bravely face the problems before you and improve yourself in the process. Life’s imperfections provide perfect opportunities to build your spiritual muscles.” – Shaun Roundy

“The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours – it is an amazing journey – and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.” – Bob Moawad

“Most people give away their happiness the minute someone does something different than what they wanted them to do. Most people, when someone doesn’t do what they said they were going to do, then they’re pissed off. That’s part of life! I’m not going to sit around and suffer. Suffering is when you’re constantly measuring what people did or didn’t do, or what *you* did or didn’t do, and if you really want to take your life to the next level, you’ve got to focus on what you’re here to give instead of what you’re here to get. It’s that simple.” – Tony Robbins
