1. The Sky

    38

    Have you seen the Sunset and Sunrise
    And the Horizon that's a prize
    How the colors mix and melt
    And look as soft as felt
    How they float away into black
    As you wish them back
    And that feeling that makes you sad
    How the tears come and just make you mad
    But then you see the stars
    That are so small they could fit in jars
    Now there's so many
    You'd by each one with a penny
    How they shine so bright
    And don't put up a fight
    So you stand watching them twinkle and shine
    Then you realize you feel fine
    So you sigh
    And say goodbye.

  2. Develop a sense of concern for others

    76

    If we think only of ourselves, forget about other people, then our minds occupy very small area. Inside that small area, even tiny problem appears very big. But the moment you develop a sense of concern for others, you realize that, just like ourselves, they also want happiness; they also want satisfaction. When you have this sense of concern, your mind automatically widens. At this point, your own problems, even big problems, will not be so significant. The result? Big increase in peace of mind. So, if you think only of yourself, only your own happiness, the result is actually less happiness. You get more anxiety, more fear. ~Dalai Lama
  3. Hope can be a powerful force

    19

    Hope can be a powerful force. Maybe there's no actual magic in it, but when you know what you hope for most and hold it like a light within you, you can make things happen, almost like magic. ~Laini Taylor
  4. You don't have to run into the future

    45

    It is possible to live happily in the here and now. So many conditions of happiness are available—more than enough for you to be happy right now. You don't have to run into the future in order to get more. ~Thich Nhat Hanh
  5. Your Anger

    24

    I would not look upon anger as something foreign to me that I have to fight… I have to deal with my anger with care, with love, with tenderness, with nonviolence. ~Thich Nhat Hạnh
  6. Let your worries fade

    29

    As the night gets deep and dark,
    Let your worries fade,
    Let this night change your life,
    And make it a better place.

    Give you new hope,
    And the love you need,
    Let the stars shower you with joys,
    And the moon bless you with peace.

  7. Imperfect and beautiful

    56

    To the people who love you, you are beautiful already. This is not because they’re blind to your shortcomings but because they so clearly see your soul. Your shortcomings then dim by comparison. The people who care about you are willing to let you be imperfect and beautiful, too. ~Victoria Moran
