1. Your thoughts become words and your words have the power to heal or harm. It’s your choice.

“All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become.” – Buddha

2. There’s enough for everyone, and your happiness doesn’t decrease by sharing.

“Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.” – Buddha

3. You must let go of fear in order to live fully.

“The whole secret of existence is to have no fear. Never fear what will become of you, depend on no one. Only the moment you reject all help are you freed.” – Buddha

4. The truth will come out. Believe in your own truth.

“Believe nothing, no matter where you read it or who has said it, not even if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.” – Buddha

5. You deserve love from others, but most importantly, you deserve love from yourself.

“You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.” – Buddha

6. We’re all looking for a spiritual life that nourishes our soul and allows us to thrive.

“To conquer oneself is a greater task than conquering others.” – Buddha

7. Peace is the answer, and it truly only comes from within.

“Those who are free of resentful thoughts surely find peace.” – Buddha

8. Happiness isn’t a destination – it’s your journey. Enjoy that journey.

“There is no path to happiness: happiness is the path.” – Buddha
