944 Quotes by Stephen Richards

You are the custodian of your own happiness. What other people say, do or think does not create a basis for your happiness. It is you who decides your own happiness, just like forgiveness.

In the process of forgiveness, you can only control your own actions and decisions.

Do the forgiveness and carry on going forward. Leave the worrying to the other person. Eat what is on your plate and leave the rest to them.

Being joyous or happy is not something you should feel guilty about.

Overly playing the role of the victim can debar you from accepting responsibility for your actions and emotions.

Just because you have been through a bad experience does not give you the ticket to keep going back to that situation over and over again and dramatizing it out of proportion.

The idea of always wanting to be the victim in circumstances where you have been offended is a common human trait. Each person wants to be viewed as the aggrieved party.

The only thing that will make us remain glued to being the victim is our failure to handle the emotions that we go through and the pain that overcomes us.

The minute we put aside our self-righteousness and move away from being the aggrieved, then we are on a healing process.
