Not everything is always fine, but you have to learn to live with what's fine and what's not. That's life. Personally, I've learned to appreciate what I have and I'll say: I'm fine, thank God

being okay with not being okay helps you let go

[on the secret to a happy, content life]

Do you want to know what my secret is? I don’t mind what happens.

Something I try to remind myself:

• The strong mind finds a way to stay steady … even when plans fall apart.
• The strong body finds a way to train … even when the day doesn’t go your way.
• The strong relationship finds a way to reconnect … even when things get rough.

In a sense, what matters most is how you respond on the bad days, not the good ones.

• Anyone can smile when life goes smoothly.
• Anyone can train when they feel great.
• Anyone can be kind when the relationship is easy.

It's how you act when the situation isn't optimal that makes the difference.

Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end.

Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not ok, it's not the end.

I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong

The secret of life isn’t what happens to you but what you do with what happens to you.

In a world that is ever shifting and unpredictable, I've come to believe it is totally fine not to feel fine. It is perfectly okay not be okay. If truth be told, if from time to time, you do not catch yourself overwhelmed and exhausted, or even incandescent, maybe you are not really following what is going on - here, there and everywhere.

if we possess a why of life we can put up with almost any how.

And it's okay to say, 'Hey, I'm not okay today.'

One secret of life is that the reason life works at all is that not everyone in your tribe is nuts on the same day. Another secret is that laughter is carbonated holiness

In my life I had come to realize that when things were going very well indeed it was just the time to anticipate trouble. And, conversely, I learned from pleasant experience that at the most despairing crisis, when all looked sour beyond words, some delightful "break" was apt to lurk just around the corner.

She used to say that her secret to life was that she “hoped for the best, was prepared for the worst, so anything in between didn’t come as a surprise.
