I used to try to behave so people would like me. Some people liked me, and some didn't.
Now I behave the way *I* think I should behave. Some people like me, and some don't. And I like myself a whole lot better.

Don't ever be afraid of change. Embrace it because it will always be with you.

Don't sweat the small stuff.
Don't fight something that is small for the "principle of it".

Getting mad doesn't usually solve the problem just makes it bigger

Life is what you make it. Life with a glass "half full" is always better than a glass "half empty."
When life gives you a lemon, make lemonade.
