“You might say “Life isn’t fair!” and you only look at the negative. I say “Life has its ups and downs!” but the difference between me and you is that I look at the positive, too. You should try it sometime, it changes the way you think and live your life!”

“Life can seem like a gloomy wait in the thick of black shadows.And still there are those who smile at the darkness, anticipating the beauty of an eventual sunrise.”

“Every problem has a gift for you in its hands” (Richard Bach). And if not every problem, then just about every one. Even spectacular sunsets are not possible without cloudy skies. Troubles bring a gift for those who choose to look. And since I can’t avoid my problems, why waste them? I should look for the gift. My life will be far, far richer for finding it.”

“Your mind can be your enemy or friend. If you always follow your heart, your mind will feel neglected. If you follow only your mind, your heart will never forgive you. Never ignore your conscience, yet always be conscious of reason. Make your heart and mind friends and you will have peace of mind throughout life’s seasons.”

“I can’t seem to be a pessimist long enough to overlook the possibility of things being overwhelmingly good.”

“My destination is no longer a place, rather a new way of seeing.”
