"The more I changed my conduct (in harmony with the the spiritual teachings I was learning), the more amazing life became.
We are responsible for our own actions and their effect on those around us. Go out and swear at somebody and watch his or her reaction. Speak gently and kindly and the response is different.
I've had to develop a tough skin and a sense of humour... when you have to live with a whole load of people thinking the worst of you, you've got to stay strong inside.
When you set out with a plan in life, and it doesn't go quite right, it's because God has a better plan for you. I always try to remember that."
Jusaf Islam - formerly Cat Stevens.
