We all encounter hardships. Some we see coming; others take us by surprise. It can be as tragic as the sudden death of a child, as heartbreaking as a relationship that unravels or as disappointing as a dream that goes unfulfilled. The question is: When these things happen, what do we do next?

Persistence and resilience only come from having been given the chance to work through difficult problems.
– Gever Tulley
There comes a time in your life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right, pray for the ones who do not. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living.

Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody else expects of you. Never excuse yourself. Never pity yourself. Be a hard master to yourself-and be lenient to everybody else.
– Henry Ward Beecher
When we listen and celebrate what is both common and different, we become a wiser, more inclusive and better organisation.

Don’t aim at success. The more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side effect of one’s personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one’s surrender to a person other than oneself. Happiness must happen, and the same holds for success: you have to let it happen by not caring about it. I want you to listen to what your conscience commands you to do and go on to carry it out to the best of your knowledge. Then you will live to see that in the long-run success will follow you precisely because you had forgotten to think about it

Change the changeable, accept the unchangeable, and remove yourself from the unacceptable

Every day the clock resets.
Your wins don’t matter.
Your failures don’t matter.
Don’t stress on what was, fight for what could be.
– Sean Higgins
There comes a point where one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but we must do it because our conscience tells us it is right
