Lists have always implied social order.
You are the only one who has to live your life.
The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.
To love and to be loved is to feel the sun from both sides.
If you could get up the courage to begin, you have the courage to succeed.
You must begin to think of yourself as becoming the person you want to be.
The purpose of life is to discover your gift. The work of life is to develop it. The meaning of life is to give your gift away.

When you respond to an unreasonable person by getting emotional, you give them victory. How do you manage unreasonable people? You dismiss them. Like shadows
There is some place where your specialties can shine. Somewhere that difference can be expressed. It's up to you to find it, and you can.
To fail is a natural consequence of trying, To succeed takes time and prolonged effort in the face of unfriendly odds. To think it will be any other way, no matter what you do, is to invite yourself to be hurt and to limit your enthusiasm for trying again.
If your life is ever going to get better, you'll have to take risks. There is simply no way you can grow without taking chances.
