If you so choose, every mistake can lead to greater understanding and effectiveness. If you so choose, every frustration can help you to be more patient and more persistent.

Live your days on the positive side of life, in tune with your most treasured values. And in each moment you'll have much to live for.

Just because the road ahead is long, is no reason to slow down. Just because there is much work to be done, is no reason to get discouraged. It is a reason to get started, to grow, to find new ways, to reach within yourself and discover strength, commitment, and determination. The road ahead is long and difficult, but it’s filled with opportunity. Start what needs starting. Finish what needs finishing. Get on the road. Stay on the road. Don’t give up.

Don’t make excuses for why you can’t get it done. Focus on all the reasons why you must make it happen.

Your life is magnificent not because someone says it is, but because you choose to see it as such

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.
