62. Of all the things that can be stolen from you – your possessions, your youth, your health, your words, your rights – what no one can ever take from you is your freedom to choose what you will believe in, and who and what your heart will love.
63. When you find yourself cocooned in isolation and despair and cannot find your way out of the darkness, remember that this is similar to the place where caterpillars go to grow their wings.
64. Take all the time you need to heal emotionally. Moving on doesn’t take a day; it takes lots of little steps to be able to break free of your broken self.
65. When you can forgive, yourself and others, and stop the imprisonment, you’re creating the love of your life.

68. When you try to control everything, you enjoy nothing. Sometimes you just need to relax, breathe, let go, and just live in the moment.
69. Even though you cannot control everything that happens, you can control your attitude toward what happens. And in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you.
70. Life will never be perfect, no matter how hard you try. Even if you pour your heart and soul into it, you will never have that perfection you seek. There will always be broken hearts, there will always be days where nothing goes right. But you must accept and learn that even the most imperfect things will always be made better with love and laughter.
71. Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about learning to dance in the rain.
72. Satisfaction is not always the fulfillment of what you want; it is the realization of how blessed you are for what you have.
73. Sometimes you just have to look back at your past and smile about how far you’ve come.
74. Just because it didn’t last forever, doesn’t mean it wasn’t worth your while.
75. It’s not that everything will be easy or exactly as you had expected, but you must just choose to be grateful for all that you have, and happy that you got a chance to live this life, no matter how it turns out.

Quotes: Qualities of true friendship

"One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood."

By, Lucius Annaeus Seneca

 

True friends always make themselves available for their friend without question. Sharing joys, sharing issues, and sharing thoughts and feelings often seem woven into such enduring friendships. 

The investment in each genuine friendship is a thorough commitment to be counted on at any time for any God given reason. If there isn't such a friendship in your life now, it's never too late to begin one. 

A close friend is a treasure of life that lights up a beautiful path in which we walk together. Are you enjoying life's path? If not, someone is waiting to be your friend
