'Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.'

'If you want to be happy, set...

A brighter way to look at life:

Hard things are put in our way, not to stop us, but to call out our courage and strength so when faced with a challenge we need to look for a way, not a way out.
Daily we see things we shouldn't have to see, but we should do it together. And support each other through. Because it is when we are at our lowest, we can accept the help of others.
But i can promise you that nothing....no matter how good or how bad...lasts forever. So try to...

Found myself lying on my back on my bed with no idea how I got there.
