Life is a unique fingerprint that cannot be replicated

So strive to leave the best impression.

Embrace it, cherish it, and don't squander a single moment as time never takes a break.

Dreams don't expire, and life can't be put on hold. Instead of wasting time complaining, use it to evaluate how you can acquire knowledge and new abilities.

Make every moment in this life meaningful.

Books provide a timeless and everlasting source of inspiration.

There are two truths we can likely all acknowledge about inspiration:
First, it is one of the most valuable gifts that can be given, and second, books are the ultimate means of bestowing this gift upon others.

However, defining inspiration can be challenging, even though we instinctively recognize its presence.

It is my genuine desire for more individuals to have the chance to experience the contents of this book that we have specifically selected to assist you in sharing this significant gift.

In order to become a counselor, one must possess a natural inclination towards counseling, much like being an artist requires a deep interest in people, life, and their issues.

Our lives are an ongoing story, and I genuinely believe that at any given moment, we have the power to change our narratives for the better. Instead of following my example, remember that there is always room for improvement and strive to do better.

Do not ask your children
to strive for extraordinary lives.
Such striving may seem admirable,
but it is the way of foolishness.
Help them instead to find the wonder
and the marvel of an ordinary life.
Show them the joy of tasting
tomatoes, apples, and pears.
Show them how to cry
when pets and people die.
Show them the infinite pleasure
in the touch of a hand.
And make the ordinary come alive for them.
The extraordinary will take care of itself.

The world's already so busy as it is, everyone's struggling around to make things work, and this life is full of broken dreams.

But I still cry, simply because I know that the dreams I had to give up meant everything to me at some point in my life.

While I know I can move forward and leave it all behind because that's how life works, I also know for sure that my heart will always remember all that I have gained in tears.

I cry to the stars so they know how hard I tried, and then I keep it to myself, silently hoping that someday when I'm a lot wiser and more capable than I am today, I'll stumble upon an old dream left behind and find I can finally afford to try even harder again.

I hope you're ready to recharge and try again.

Pay attention to the inner voice that resides within you.

Over time, it has grown louder and more distinct.

Its presence cannot be ignored. If you allow it, this voice will provide guidance and direction for your life. Do not underestimate the power of your instincts and intuition, as we often tend to do.

Sometimes, we are reluctant to acknowledge them or devote time to reflecting on their significance. However, it is vital to listen to that voice within.

Stop waiting for someone else to come and change your life...

Instead, be the person you've been waiting for. Embrace your life and love it.

Remember, through all the ups and downs, the fears and accomplishments, you will always be there. You will be the one accepting your rewards and supporting yourself when you're hurting.

As you age, you'll realize that you have two hands: one to lift yourself up and the other to help others.

"It is thought that brings about fear.
Thought breeds fear, thought also cultivates pleasure.
To understand fear you must also understand pleasure — they are interrelated; without understanding one, you cannot understand the other,

fear is the other side of the coin which is called pleasure."

We inflict wounds upon ourselves, like a snake that we ourselves have conjured, and consequently endure the consequences of our own poison.
If only we were aware and refrained from creating unnecessary suffering, a vast majority of our mental anguish would cease to exist. "
