I read somewhere that expectations and attachments lead to disappointments and suffering. Worrying does not solve any problem in the world and if it did we wouldn’t be getting pimples from stress.
There is a huge difference between being productive and being busy; it’s like working smart versus working hard. We can’t control what’s going on but we can control how we look at things and how we respond.
The best lessons come from hardships; even the pain teaches us how to grow.
You will always find people who are doing better than you but don’t forget that there are people who are doing worse than you but are still not giving up.
Being happy is the journey not the destination (we don’t have to achieve something to feel the emotion; we just have to be satisfied and thankful). Failure does not make you a loser; keep trying since failure is part of the plan (those who don’t try are the real losers).
Don’t assume that someone does not understand you if they disagree with you; everyone has their own opinions. There are no short cuts in life; you must be willing and admit the fact that once you wish to go higher, there will be more chances of you falling but you keep going.
