If you can’t fly then run; if you can’t run then walk; if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward
Nothing can bring you peace but yourself.
Life is 10% of what you experience and 90% of how you respond to it
Hey you, keep living. It won’t always be this overwhelming.
Who’s not sat tense before his own heart’s curtain.
If you treat every situation as a life and death matter, you’ll die a lot of times.
I promise you nothing is as chaotic as it seems. Nothing is worth diminishing your health. Nothing is worth poisoning yourself into stress, anxiety, and fear.
Don’t let your mind bully your body into believing it must carry the burden of its worries.
When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change
You have dug your soul out of the dark, you have fought to be here; do not go back to what buried you.
P.S. You’re not going to die. Here’s the white-hot truth: if you go bankrupt, you’ll still be okay. If you lose the gig, the lover, the house, you’ll still be okay. If you sing off-key, get beat by the competition, have your heart shattered, get fired…it’s not going to kill you. Ask anyone who’s been through it.
Inner peace begins the moment you choose not to allow another person or event to control your emotions.
If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got.
If you want to conquer the anxiety of life, live in the moment, live in the breath.
Life is ten percent what you experience and ninety percent how you respond to it.
Present fears are less than horrible imaginings.
You must learn to let go. Release the stress. You were never in control anyway
You can’t always control what goes on outside. But you can always control what goes on inside.
Nothing diminishes anxiety faster than action.
Physical comforts cannot subdue mental suffering, and if we look closely, we can see that those who have many possessions are not necessarily happy. In fact, being wealthy often brings even more anxiety.
What people in the world think of you is really none of your business.
You don’t have to control your thoughts. You just have to stop letting them control you.
Nothing is permanent in this wicked world — not even our troubles.
He who is not everyday conquering some fear has not learned the secret of life.
The greatest weapon against stress is our ability to choose one thought over another.
I promise you nothing is as chaotic as it seems. Nothing is worth your health. Nothing is worth poisoning yourself into stress, anxiety, and fear.
Rule number one is, don’t sweat the small stuff. Rule number two is, it’s all small stuff.
Anxiety is a thin stream of fear trickling through the mind. If encouraged, it cuts a channel into which all other thoughts are drained.
You don’t have to control your thoughts. You just have to stop letting them control you.
Our anxiety does not come from thinking about the future, but from wanting to control it
No amount of anxiety can change the future. No amount of regret can change the past.
Do not anticipate trouble, or worry about what may never happen. Keep in the sunlight.
Don’t worry if people think you’re crazy. You are crazy. You have that kind of intoxicating insanity that lets other people dream outside of the lines and become who they’re destined to be.
No longer forward nor behind I look in hope and fear; But grateful take the good I find, The best of now and here.
Nothing diminishes anxiety faster than action.
Smile, breathe, and go slowly.
At the end of the day, tell yourself gently: ‘I love you, you did the best you could today, and even if you didn’t accomplish all you had planned, I love you anyway.
Every tomorrow has two handles. We can take hold of it with the handle of anxiety or the handle of faith.
Good humor is a tonic for mind and body. It is the best antidote for anxiety and depression. It is a business asset. It attracts and keeps friends. It lightens human burdens. It is the direct route to serenity and contentment
Trust yourself. You’ve survived a lot, and you’ll survive whatever is coming.
Every time you are tempted to react in the same old way, ask if you want to be a prisoner of the past or a pioneer of the future.
Sometimes the most important thing in a whole day is the rest taken between two deep breaths.
[Slow breathing] is like an anchor in the midst of an emotional storm: The anchor won’t make the storm go away, but it will hold you steady until it passes
Worry a little bit every day and in a lifetime you will lose a couple of years. If something is wrong, fix it if you can. But train yourself not to worry. Worry never fixes anything
Good humor is a tonic for mind and body. It is the best antidote for anxiety and depression. It is a business asset. It attracts and keeps friends. It lightens human burdens. It is the direct route to serenity and contentment.
When I look back on all these worries, I remember the story of the old man who said on his deathbed that he had had a lot of trouble in his life, most of which had never happened.
Never let life’s hardships disturb you … no one can avoid problems, not even saints or sages.
Do not let your difficulties fill you with anxiety; after all it is only in the darkest nights that stars shine more brightly
It’s OKAY to be scared. Being scared means you’re about to do something really, really brave.
You wouldn’t worry so much about what others think of you if you realized how seldom they do.
Smile, breathe, and go slowly.
Anxiety was born in the very same moment as mankind. And since we will never be able to master it, we will have to learn to live with it—just as we have learned to live with storms.
We must be willing to let go of the life we’ve planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.
All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better
