I had to trust life and believe that life loved the person who dared to live it.

The ship of my life may or may not be sailing on calm and amiable seas. The challenging days of my existence may or may not be bright and promising. Stormy or sunny days, glorious or lonely nights, I maintain an attitude of gratitude. If I insist on being pessimistic, there is always tomorrow. Today I am blessed.

Live life as if it were created just for you.

But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams.

Each of us has the power and responsibility to become a rainbow in the clouds.
