Being optimistic is like a muscle that gets stronger with use. Makes it easier when the tough times arrive. You have to change the way you think in order to change the way you feel.

Oh well, the truth hurts, doesn't it?

I’m grateful I had the strength to fight. It takes courage to believe the best is yet to come, especially when you are flat on your back and don’t know if you’re going to see tomorrow. I’m no Pollyanna, but I believe optimism is a choice — a muscle that gets stronger with use. Right foot, left foot…just keep moving.

Find the meaning behind whatever it is you're going through because everybody's got something.

You can be fearful or fearless...I chose the latter

We are all a little bit stronger than we think we are.

Life is not so much what you accomplish as what you overcome.
