When we see everything in life as a game, we will be equally joyous when falling as we are when rising. If we can fully understand this – if we can see life as swinging on a swing – we will never fall apart when failure comes our way.
My philosophy is that not only are you responsible for your life, but doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment.
Books say: She did this because. Life says: She did this. Books are where things are explained to you; life is where things aren't. I'm not surprised some people prefer books.
-Julian Barnes
"Flaubert's Parrot"
If you closely observe life, you will find, here with every pleasure there is pain...
and with every pain, pleasure. Hence, among all that is happening, if you keep
your eyes fixed only at the brighter side of it, you can always be happy.
-Deep Trivedi
Life is given to us; we earn it by giving it.
-Rabindranath Tagore
Life is partly what we make it, and partly what it is made by the friends we choose.
-Tennessee Williams
Life's under no obligation to give us what we expect.
-Margaret Mitchell
The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.
Travel light on your journey in life. Your desires and expectations are heavy baggage which slow you down and thwart your progress. Let them go.
Life, unfortunately, doesn't seem to care what we want.
-Richelle Mead
"Last Sacrifice"
