You don't know why God has put that person in your path. It's not a coincidence. He's strategically lined up every person, every detail and every step of your life. Now do your part--don't miss an opportunity to do good for others.
Some people you can afford to spend a few minutes with, but not a few hours.
Life is not what you alone make it. Life is the input of everyone who touched your life and every experience that entered it. We are all part of one another.
To all those broken or hopeless, I have learned this: Be grateful for every single person who was part of your story. The ones that hurt you. The ones that helped you. The ones that came, and the ones that left. They all taught you. Don't think for a moment that any of it was random. There are no oversights with God. Only perfectly crafted chapters in each unique journey.
Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some people stay for awhile, and move our souls to dance. They awaken us to a new understanding, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never, ever the same.
There are people in your path just so you can be a blessing to them. Anytime you do good for others, you are sowing a seed for God to be good to you.
Three-fourths of the people you will ever meet are hungering and thirsting for sympathy. Give it to them, and they will love you.
Eventually, if you're lucky in life, you find someone with the same chemical imbalance you have.
It's less about what you do and more about who you are doing it with.
When you center life around yourself, not only do you miss out on God's best, but you rob other people of the joy and blessings that God wants to give them through you.
If friends disappoint you over and over, that's in large part your own fault. Once someone has shown a tendency to be self-centered, you need to recognize that and take care of yourself; people aren't going to change simply because you want them to.
Trying to “fix” the people in your life that cause you pain is like massaging your shoes because your feet ache.
The only normal people are the ones you don't know very well.
Believing there's no God means I can't really be forgiven except by kindness and faulty memories. That's good; it makes me want to be more thoughtful. I have to try to treat people right the first time around.
Solitude is strength; to depend on the presence of the crowd is weakness. The man who needs a mob to nerve him is much more alone than he imagines.
If someone is unpleasant to you, draw a halo around his or her head in your mind. He/she is an angel who came to teach you something.
You never know when you might be seeing someone for the last time.
Being concerned about other people is especially relevant in today's world. If we consider the complex inter-connected ness of our modern lives, how we depend on others and others depend on us, our outlook will change. We’ll begin to see 'others' not as somehow distant from us, but as people we are in touch with, people close to us; we will no longer feel indifferent to them.
And there are people that will stand in your corner and convince you to stand up for another round no matter what.
People and relationships never stop being a work in progress
You will become way less concerned with what other people think of you when you realize how seldom they do.
In our own case we accept excuses too easily; in other people's, we do not accept them easily enough.
Life is like a dice, so watch the ones you're rolling with.
Fortunately, however, we no longer have to argue that self -love is not only necessary and good but that it also is a prerequisite for loving others.
Every relationship has a spiritual purpose that helps us grow and become stronger. Sometimes, our most challenging relationships bring the greatest personal blessings. From them we learn about forgiveness, patience, and other virtues.
