Self-control is strength;

Right Thought is mastery;

Calmness is power.

Say unto your heart,

“Peace, be still!”

[positiveupwardspiral]

trust that everything will fall into place without you forcing it there.

It's often said that happiness is finding joy in the little things in life – now scientists appear to have found the proof.

Just five minutes a day performing 'micro-acts of joy' that foster positive emotions is enough to banish stress, boost health and improve sleep quality, psychologists discovered.

Never let the desire to appear strong keep you from being honest
