Sure, there are many bad things that can happen. Yet you can be aware of them, and realistic about them, without being obsessed and consumed by them.

When the path becomes difficult, that's no reason to give up. In fact, it means you're making real progress.

Even when there seems to be nothing else, there is hope.

Rest when you're weary. Refresh and renew yourself, your body, your mind, your spirit. Then get back to work.

Make the decision to love this day, this place, this moment, this special experience of life with the people around you. And there will be so very much to love.

Life does not owe you anything, because life has already given you everything.

When something feels right, that means it is right for you. Pay attention to your authentic feelings, and follow where they lead.
