Life is not happening to you.  Life is responding to you.  Rhonda Byrne

Blame is a very common, ancient, well-perfected device for trying to feel better.  Blame others.  Blaming is a way to protect your heart, trying to protect what is soft and open and tender in yourself.  Rather than own that pain, we scramble to find some comfortable ground.  Pema Chödrön

When you complain, you make yourself a victim.  Leave the situation, change the situation, or accept it.  All else is madness.  Eckhart Tolle

It is not in the stars that our destiny is held, but in ourselves.  William Shakespeare

I do believe that one way to have a destiny is to choose one.  Melinda McGraw

Without change, something sleeps inside us and seldom awakens.  The sleeper must awaken.  Frank Herbert
