If you read someone else’s diary, you get what you deserve. ~David Sedaris (or should I say, “if you read someone else’s text messages, you get what you deserve” lol! ) Seriously though, when you disrespect someone’s privacy, you may be doing more damage than good. If you’re going to pry, be prepared for the consequences that may come with it…
Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent. ~Eleanor Roosevelt Gaining the respect of others first starts with you having respect for yourself. Know your value and walk with confidence. It’s not about what people call you, but what you answer to. Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent.
You can never plan the future by the past. ~Edmund Burke Too often, we limit ourselves by planning the future based on negative things that have happened in the past. What you fear, you empower. You’ll never grow if you don’t learn to let go of the painful mistakes you’ve made in the past. Keep your self focused on what’s in FRONT of you, not BEHIND you…
“The best answer to anger is silence…”-Anon When people do things to intentionally hurt you, their satisfaction comes from KNOWING they hurt you. If someone is malicious towards you the best response is NO response. Don’t give your enemies the satisfaction of knowing they have angered you. Invest your energy wisely. The time you waste responding to a hater is time you could be spending making YOUR life better… (Loved people love people. Hurt people hurt people)
One of the most frequent questions I get from people is “What is the secret to your success?” Honestly, the “secret” to MY success is the success of the people around me! Its true, I draw my motivation from others I see doing well. In life, we have a choice to be jealous when we see another person succeed or inspired by their success. My choice is the latter… I came across this quote and video of LL Cool J and it appears that he and I share the same ideology, here’s what he had to say on the topic: “You get in life what you give out. If you want the world to celebrate your success, you have to celebrate the success of the world. And use others’ success as motivation and inspiration to go after your dreams.”- L.L.
