Quit comparing yourself to others; to both their fortune and misfortune. Their life is not your life anyway; you have your own life to live.
Quit assuming you are finished. You are not finished or washed-up. Maybe you are just beginning.
Quit allowing negative and cynical thinking to steal the good life you deserve.
If you want good things to happen in your life you have to believe good things are possible for yourself.
Love softens the hardest edges of life's tumult.
Suffering is very personal and cannot be measured by someone from the outside. Everyone suffers in different ways. Life is not a suffering contest; the contest is for compassion.
Quit assuming others have it better, or you have it worse. Everyone suffers tremendously in life.
When the false-voice of doubt starts whispering in your darkest hours, let the other voice, the voice of ages, which speaks through time to give you life answer back with your defiant, awakened resolve. Awaken to your power; the power to live, the power to overcome and the power to survive the challenges presently before you.
Your awesome strength is a guardian and champion for all manner of good to prevail.
In you is the glorious power to heal, to love and to protect what is virtuous and honorable in life.
