Roy T. Bennett Quotes

It’s only after you’ve stepped outside your comfort zone that you begin to change, grow, and transform.

Even if you cannot change all the people around you, you can change the people you choose to be around. Life is too short to waste your time on people who don’t respect, appreciate, and value you. Spend your life with people who make you smile, laugh, and feel loved.

You cannot control the behavior of others, but you can always choose how you respond to it.

More smiling, less worrying. More compassion, less judgment. More blessed, less stressed. More love, less hate.

The past is a place of reference, not a place of residence; the past is a place of learning, not a place of living.

Life becomes easier and more beautiful when we can see the good in other people.

Do what is right, not what is easy nor what is popular.

If you want to be happy, do not dwell in the past, do not worry about the future, focus on living fully in the present.

Success is not how high you have climbed, but how you make a positive difference to the world.

Pursue what catches your heart, not what catches your eyes.

Keep Going

Your hardest times often lead to the greatest moments of your life. Keep going. Tough situations build strong people in the end.

Make improvements, not excuses. Seek respect, not attention.

Learn to light a candle in the darkest moments of someone’s life. Be the light that helps others see; it is what gives life its deepest significance.

Start each day with a positive thought and a grateful heart.

Treat everyone with politeness and kindness, not because they are nice, but because you are.
