"As with many things, self awareness is key to improvement. Observe yourself, learn your triggers, journal, plan new responses, visualize yourself making new, empowering choices in the moment of decision. See it as an investment in a better life, not as a sacrifice. Celebrate and cherish the smallest victories as proof of your ability to change and grow. Learn from your mistakes and then forget them. Focus all your thoughts and energy forward on your growth and your boundless potential. Love yourself, accept plateaus as normal and setbacks as inevitable. The secret of life lies not in avoiding all stumbles but in getting back up with a smile on your face and resolve in your heart."  Nathan Collier

"Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."  Dr. Seuss

"When I was five years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life.  When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up.  I wrote down "happy".  They told me I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life."  John Lennon
