1 " God brings wonderful people into our lives. He also takes people out to protect us from harm. When we roll with God’s grace, we feel his wisdom. "
― Ron Baratono , The Writings of Ron Baratono
2 " We will never find the perfect job, relationship, or situation. What we can do is search for happiness. Our ideals in life are set by others, and it’s because they haven’t mastered the art of the happiness search. "
3 " The reason a lot of people can’t find happiness is because they don’t look for it. They allow themselves to be stuck in the same situations. Sometimes happiness comes with the courage to break free. "
4 " Never adjust your day to suit someone else’s happiness. When riding on God’s good grace, roll with things your way. "
5 " The whole world would be much happier if everyone was just average. "
6 " When you surround yourself with wonderful, productive people, you become enhanced. Your level of happiness increases, which is your success. "
7 " When we face every challenge with optimism and learn to fail with our heads up, a great attitude is always success, no matter the outcome. "
8 " When I look at your smile, I can see your heart. When I look at your heart, it makes me smile back. "
9 " The right path in life will always come with patience. It’s when we reach an understanding that everything happens in God’s time that we walk the right path. "
10 " It’s best to have a small boat of friends where everyone rows than an ark of friends where no one does. At least you’re getting somewhere. "
11 " I think we spend more time thinking of things to deal with than just letting them go. When we quiet our minds, that’s true freedom. "
12 " We all reach a point in our lives where time is the most expensive thing we have. "
13 " You’re not going to always hit a home run in life. You’re going to strike out! You’re going to walk to the dugout of life, frustrated, while spectators chirp your name in judgment. They’re afraid to even get on the field, and you know it. The fact that you get back up there, unafraid, going after that next home run, makes you the person you are. "
14 " Dear God, I’m afraid of the things that I don’t understand. I’m even afraid of you, God. Please open my heart to your love. Show me how to understand and how to live with you each day. I don’t want to look weak, God, but the truth is I am weak because I don’t know you at all. Please come into my heart and allow me to push aside my pride and accept you totally into my life. Thank you for saving me. In Jesus’s name, I pray, amen. "
15 " As we get better at knowing God’s love, we grow into better things that surround our lives. "
16 " People spend way too much time with hatred, jealousy, and drama when kindness is so easy. Grab a hold of the good things in life; they’ll take you to places you’ve never been. "
17 " Our self-worth is not who we know or what we know. Our self-worth is in what we do. "
18 " People are never going to act exactly like we want them to. So if we stop expecting things from others, we’ll find peace in our hearts that will last a lifetime. "
19 " There’s calm in the mind of the humble. An unmistakable peace of not having to prove anything to anyone. "
20 " If we think about each other’s feelings, then we’re never alone. "
