Tori: That is something I tell myself everyday!!

great advice you shouldnt let hurt turn you angry or bitter it only serves to destroy you.

Happiness really does depend upon ourselves. Trying to find happiness in making someone else your whole world...defining yourself with a relationship with another or trying to be happy by making others happy never works. Believe me. I've tried. Bottom line..you need to love yourself and be truly happy with yourself to find happiness in your life...to see the blessings around you. I've lost myself for quite some time...nobody to blame but myself. But I am happy that I'm on the journey to finding me again. Thanks for the continued inspiration, JennyN!

Thank you for that quote. It is so true. I have seen so many people(myself included at times) dwell so much on the bad things around them they forget to be happy for what they do have. I have been focusing on what I do have in my life, instead of what I wish I had that hasnt come true.

love the quote!!! :) thanks!

It's all very true. Nice quote. I especially like the first half of it! I think its also important to learn from past failures as well. "Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it."

Watch a kid play with a cardboard box that a $6000.00 television set came in and you will see an example of just that.
Take what you have and be thankful for it, but it remember, the saying beggers cant be chooser's isnt exactly true, it just makes them rude beggers.

thank u! i needed ur quote today, to remind me that dwelling and bitterness serves no purpose.
