Everyone says love hurts, but that is not true.

Everyone says love hurts, but that is not true.

Loneliness hurts.

Rejection hurts.

Envy hurts.

Everyone gets these things confused with love.

But in reality love is the only thing in this world

that covers up all pain and makes someone 

feel wonderful again.

“Love is hard to find, hard to keep, and hard to forget.” ~ Alysha Speer

“Nobody can hurt me without my permission.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi

“The reason it hurts so much to separate is because our souls are connected.” ~ Nicholas Sparks

“You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching, Love like you'll never be hurt, Sing like there's nobody listening, And live like it's heaven on earth.” ~ William W. Purkey

What is the art of being happy?

The art of being happy is to be satisfied with what you have.

The game of basketball has been everything to me. My place of refuge, place I've always gone where I needed comfort and peace. It's been the site of intense pain and the most intense feelings of joy and satisfaction. It's a relationship that has evolved over time, given me the greatest respect and love for the game. ~ Michael Jordan

Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment, full effort is full victory. ~ Mahatma Gandhi

Happiness does not come from doing easy work but from the afterglow of satisfaction that comes after the achievement of a difficult task that demanded our best. ~ Theodore Isaac Rubin

Challenge is the pathway to engagement and progress in our lives. But not all challenges are created equal. Some challenges make us feel alive, engaged, connected, and fulfilled. Others simply overwhelm us. Knowing the difference as you set bigger and bolder challenges for yourself is critical to your sanity, success, and satisfaction. ~ Brendon Burchard
