Escape

If the grass looks greener on the other side, stop staring, comparing, and complaining, and start watering the grass you’re standing on.

"Happiness starts with you. Not with your relationships, not with your job, not with you money, but with you."

Don’t get attached to moments. Good or bad, they all pass.

I firmly believe in small gestures: pay for their coffee, hold the door for strangers, over tip, smile or try to be kind even when you don’t feel like it, pay compliments, chase the kid’s runaway ball down the sidewalk and throw it back to him, try to be larger than you are— particularly when it’s difficult. People do notice, people appreciate. I appreciate it when it’s done to (for) me. Small gestures can be an effort, or actually go against our grain (I’m not a big one for paying compliments…), but the irony is that almost every time you make them, you feel better about yourself. For a moment life suddenly feels lighter….

The biggest communication problem is we don’t listen to understand,  we listen to reply.
