[UD News] Weekly Happenings
Words for the WeekDo not let others’ mindless or unintentional words, hold your emotional well-being hostage for the rest of your day. Do not let a few disagreeable things dim your aspirations for life.
Your life is yours—not everyone needs to understand you. There is even less of a need to rely on others’ mouth for your self-understanding.
The pain that doesn’t really belong to you—learn to pay no heed to it. The people who are insincere with you—learn to quietly distance yourself.
With stable emotions and steadiness of heart, even if the road ahead of us is not easy, we still need to walk it a step at a time. Even if we have to find our way back all by ourselves, we still need to walk with determination, walk without hesitation.
