The true measurement of self-worth is not how a person feels about her positive experiences, but rather how she feels about her negative experiences. - Mark Manson

The past isn’t as good as you remember, the future isn’t as bad as you fear, and the present is never as clear as it seems.

As a teenager, I told everybody that I didn't care about anything, when the truth was I cared about way too much. Other people ruled my world without my even knowing. I thought happiness was a destiny not choice. I thought love was something that just happened, not something you worked for.

Fault is past tense. Responsibility is present tense. Fault results from choices that have already been made. Responsibility results from the choices you’re currently making, every second of every day.
