Happiness is always a choice. You can't wait for circumstances to get better. You have to create your own good fortune. So look for ways to be happy every day.

Quit dwelling on the negative things people have said about you. You don’t have to have everyone’s approval. You have God’s approval.

If you develop an image of success, health, abundance, joy, peace, happiness, nothing on earth will be able to hold those things from you.

Let go of yesterday. Let today be a new beginning and be the best that you can, and you'll get to where God wants you to be.

No matter what comes your way, don't lose your joy.

If you feel "stuck" today, you may want to examine what you're holding on to. Be willing let go of past disappointments by choosing forgiveness. Who hurt you? Who wronged you? Release it to God. Do you need to forgive yourself? Do you need to receive God's forgiveness? Let go of the past so you can overcome disappointments and experience the bright future God has in store for you! There is freedom in forgetting!

Faith doesn't always instantly deliver you, but it always carries you through.
