Life is too short to spend time with people who suck the happiness out of you. If someone wants you in their life, they』ll make room for you. You shouldn』t have to fight for a spot. Never, ever insist yourself to someone who continuously overlooks your worth. And remember, it』s not the people that stand by your side when you』re at your best, but the ones who stand beside you when you』re at your worst that are your true friends.
Face them head on. No, it won』t be easy. There is no person in the world capable of flawlessly handling every punch thrown at them. We aren』t supposed to be able to instantly solve problems. That』s not how we』re made. In fact, we』re made to get upset, sad, hurt, stumble and fall. Because that』s the whole purpose of living – to face problems, learn, adapt, and solve them over the course of time. This is what ultimately molds us into the person we become.
You can lie to anyone else in the world, but you can』t lie to yourself. Our lives improve only when we take chances, and the first and most difficult chance we can take is to be honest with ourselves.
The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, and forgetting that you are special too. Yes, help others; but help yourself too. If there was ever a moment to follow your passion and do something that matters to you, that moment is now.
One of the greatest challenges in life is being yourself in a world that』s trying to make you like everyone else. Someone will always be prettier, someone will always be smarter, someone will always be younger, but they will never be you. Don』t change so people will like you. Be yourself and the right people will love the real you.
You can』t start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading your last one.
如果你一直重讀昨天，那很難翻開人生新的篇章。

Stop being scared to make a mistake.
不要害怕犯錯。
Doing something and getting it wrong is at least ten times more productive than doing nothing. Every success has a trail of failures behind it, and every failure is leading towards success. You end up regretting the things you did NOT do far more than the things you did.
We may love the wrong person and cry about the wrong things, but no matter how things go wrong, one thing is for sure, mistakes help us find the person and things that are right for us. We all make mistakes, have struggles, and even regret things in our past. But you are not your mistakes, you are not your struggles, and you are here NOW with the power to shape your day and your future. Every single thing that has ever happened in your life is preparing you for a moment that is yet to come.
Many of the things we desire are expensive. But the truth is, the things that really satisfy us are totally free – love, laughter and working on our passions.
If you』re not happy with who you are on the inside, you won』t be happy in a long-term relationship with anyone else either. You have to create stability in your own life first before you can share it with someone else.
Don t think too much or you』ll create a problem that wasn t even there in the first place. Evaluate situations and take decisive action. You cannot change what you refuse to confront. Making progress involves risk. Period! You can t make it to second base with your foot on first.
Nobody ever feels 100% ready when an opportunity arises. Because most great opportunities in life force us to grow beyond our comfort zones, which means we won』t feel totally comfortable at first.
Stop getting involved in relationships for the wrong reasons.
不要因為某個錯誤的原因開始一段感情。
Relationships must be chosen wisely. It s better to be alone than to be in bad company. There s no need to rush. If something is meant to be, it will happen – in the right time, with the right person, and for the best reason. Fall in love when you』re ready, not when you re lonely.
Stop rejecting new relationships just because old ones didn』t work.
不要因為之前戀情的失敗而拒絕新的感情。
In life you ll realize that there is a purpose for everyone you meet. Some will test you, some will use you and some will teach you. But most importantly, some will bring out the best in you.
Don t worry about what others are doing better than you. Concentrate on beating your own records every day. Success is a battle between You and Yourself only.
不要擔心其他人做的比你好。每天要專心於超越自己，成功只是一場自己跟自己的戰役。
16.
Stop being jealous of others.
不要嫉妒他人。
Jealousy is the art of counting someone else』s blessings instead of your own. Ask yourself this: 「What s something I have that everyone wants?」
嫉妒其實就是在細數別人的幸福卻忽視了自己的幸福。要常問問自己：「我擁有哪些別人羨慕不已的東西呢？」
17.
Stop complaining and feeling sorry for yourself.
停止抱怨和內疚。
Life s curveballs are thrown for a reason –to shift your path in a direction that is meant for you. You may not see or understand everything the moment it happens, and it may be tough. But reflect back on those negative curveballs thrown at you in the past. You』ll often see that eventually they led you to a better place, person, state of mind, or situation. So smile! Let everyone know that today you are a lot stronger than you were yesterday, and you will be.
Don t live your life with hate in your heart. You will end up hurting yourself more than the people you hate. Forgiveness is not saying, 「What you did to me is okay.」 It is saying, 「I』m not going to let what you did to me ruin my happiness forever.」 Forgiveness is the answer… let go, find peace, liberate yourself! And remember, forgiveness is not just for other people, it』s for you too. If you must, forgive yourself, move on and try to do better next time.
I love waking up in the morning and not knowing whats going to happen, or who Im going to meet, where Im going to wind up.
我喜歡早上起來時一切都是未知的，不知會遇見什麼人，會有什麼樣的結局。
You jump, I jump.
生死相隨。
I figure life is a gift and I dont intend on wasting it. You never know what hand youre going to get dealt next. You earn to take life as it comes at you…
