Personality:
- Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about. Each person has their place in the scheme of life.

- Forget issues of the past. Don't remind your partner with His/her mistakes of the past. Don't blame your parents for every problem you have.That will ruin your present . We choose actions & reactions when we become adults.
Happiness.
- Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don't hate others. It's easier to understand & move on.
- Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present. Yesterday is gone, & you have a limited number of tomorrows.
- No one is in charge of your happiness except you. It's your choice to feel happy or miserable, anger or joy, frustration or acceptance, jealousy or peace, shame or pride
- Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away; like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.
