We can’t live without others. And others can’t live without us. We need them in our lives. They need us in their lives. But it is important to know who you are inviting into your life. Don’t bring everybody into your life. Because you cannot be a friend to everybody. If you are a friend to everybody, then you are not a friend to your soul. Because you cannot make everybody happy. Do not even try to do it. It is not going to work.

You need a true friend. But if you can’t find a good friend, then be a true friend to yourself. Love yourself. Be your own best friend. Because if you cannot be your own best friend, no one can be your best friend. Your best friend lives within you. Your best friend is you, your soul, your heart.

Your true friend will always be there for you, will not judge you, will lift you up when you are down, will make you laugh when you are sad, will talk to you with respect, will always celebrate your success, will help heal your broken soul, will help you transform your life, and help you transform your pain into purpose.

If you cannot find a true friend, be a true friend to yourself, to your boss, to your wife, to your neighbor, to your customer, to your dog, to your mentor, to your soul. Can you make your soul happy?

“Don’t regret over the past because it’s over. Don’t worry about the future because it is not here yet.”- Thich Nhat Tu

All you have is now, right now. What are you doing with it? If you are not using it to do positive things, life changing things, you are wasting it. Don’t waste your time. Because it is limited. You are not going to be here forever. So use your time wisely.

“Never quit halfway.”- Thich Nhat Tu

You are not a quitter. You are a winner. When things are not going well for you, don’t quit, just take a break.

“Real peace always comes from within.”- Thich Nhat Tu

“Real peace always comes from within.” That is because everything happens within. The life within controls the life without. Your inside life is more important than your outside life. So if you want to feel great on the outside, you must first pay attention to how you feel within.

“Don’t be a fool to waste your precious time and life.”- Thich Nhat Tu

Remove wastes from your life to be productive. According to Stephen Covey, “first thing first.” All you have is now. All you have is this moment. So if you want your future to be better than what you have now, you must remove wastes from your life. You must remove wastes from your work. Do the important things first. Remove unproductive friends from your life. Do not do what they do. Do what you do. If you want to achieve your dreams, you must do your own thing.
