Nikki Reed Quotes

Life gives no one immunity against adversity, but life gives to everyone the power of positive thought which is sufficient to master all circumstances of adversity and convert them into benefits.

When we tackle obstacles, we find hidden reserves of courage and resilience we did not know we had. And it is only when we are faced with failure do we realise that these resources were always there within us. We only need to find them and move on with our lives.

Our attitude in the face of life's challenges determines our suffering or our freedom.

If you become a master of meaning, you become a master of your life. Two people can have the same experience.

Although it may seem like it, life will never give you more than you can handle. That doesn't mean it's going to be easy; in fact, quite the opposite.

Life is challenging. I wish I could tell you that you’ll always be on top of the mountain, but the reality is that there are days when nothing will go right, when not only will you not be on top, you may not even be able to figure out which way is up. Do yourself a favor, and don’t make it any harder than it has to be. In those moments, be careful how you speak to yourself; be careful how you think of yourself; be careful how you conduct yourself; be careful how you develop yourself.

Everything that happens helps you grow, even if its hard to see right now.

The thing about happiness is that it doesn't help you to grow; only unhappiness does that. So I'm grateful that my bed of roses was made up equally of blossoms and thorns.

A happy life consists not in the absence, but in the mastery of hardships.

You could either be trapped by what was going on around you, or you could find a way out. I think that everything, even if it is scary or good, comes into our life to help elevate and expand us as human beings.

The art of living lies less in eliminating our troubles than in growing with them.

It is interesting to note that life never leaves us stranded. If life hands us a problem, it hands us also the abilities with which to meet the problem.

If we can use our problems and illnesses as opportunities to think about how we can change our lives, we have power.

As we advance in life it becomes more and more difficult, but in fighting the difficulties the inmost strength of the heart is developed.
