Life Lessons Quote by Roy Bennett — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Follow your heart, listen to your inner voice, stop caring what others think.”

“Be positive. Be true. Be kind.”

“Never underestimate yourself when you do what is right.”

“Accept yourself, love yourself, and keep moving forward.”

“Those who have come down will not ask you any questions because they came from below and know both above and below. But you, put aside your arrogance while you are climbing the stairs of life, ask those who have come down about what is above because they have been there, where you have not yet gone!”

“I don't hold grudges. I hold lessons.”

“Learn how to handle success because if you are unprepared, you can end up in a huge mess.”

“Page 142: "When a spouse says to the alcoholic, "you need to go to AA," that is obviously not true. The addict feels no need to do that at all, and isn't. But when she says, "I am moving out and will be open to getting back together when you are getting treatment for your addiction," then all of a sudden the addict feels "I need to get some help or I am going to lose my marriage." The need has been transferred. It is the same with any kind of problematic behavior of a person who is not taking feedback and ownership. The need and drive to do something about it must be transferred to that person, and that is done through having consequences that finally make him feel the pain instead of others. When he feels the pain, he will feel the need to change...A plan that has hope is one that limits your exposure to the foolish person's issues and forces him to feel the consequences of his performance so that he might have hope of waking up and changing.”
