“Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn’t arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I’m going to be happy in it.”
— Groucho Marx (via abbysharp, justbesplendid) (via outcamethesun)
“We must see all scars as beauty. Okay? This will be our secret. Because take it from me, a scar does not form on the dying. A scar means, I survived.”
—~ Chris Cleave, Little Bee(via overflowing) (via gatekeeper)
“The more you know who you are, and what you want, the less you let things upset you.”
—Lost in Translation (via kari-shma) (via girlinthemoon)
“Often we allow ourselves to be upset by small things we should despise and forget. We lose many irreplaceable hours brooding over grievances that, in a year’s time, will be forgotten by us and by everybody. No, let us devote our life to worthwhile actions and feelings, to great thoughts, real affections and enduring undertakings.”
—_Andre Maurois (via kari-shma) (via flaneur-) (via dailybranflakes) (via quitecheeky) (via hapnadsvakande) (via brightlywound) (via girlinthemoon)
“I think we spend too much time wondering why we’re not good enough. We spend too much time over analyzing, over-thinking, and overreacting. We waste too much time putting ourselves down, so much that we don’t ever stop to see that well, we are good enough. You are good enough. We spend too much time with our heads down and hearts closed; and never get a chance to look up from the ground and see that the sun is shining and tomorrow is another day.”
