Your mind is like a rubberband - you can expand it as much or as little as you want.

You are the master of your thoughts - make them count in a positive way.

No matter how difficult life is, you always have the ability to change your life for the better. The secret is to believe you can do it.

Everyone needs a plan to accomplish anything. The best way to do it is to make sure you have alternate plans in case the first one(s) fall through. Never give up!

Life is about who you love and who you hurt. It's about faith, glee, and kindness. Life is about shunning envy; rising above lack of knowledge, and building self-confidence. It's about what you utter and what you imply. It’s about seeing people for who they are and not what they have. The majority of all, it is about choosing to use your life to touch someone else's in a way that could by no means have been realize otherwise. These choices are what life's about.

Don’t judge yourself by your past, you don’t live there anymore. Just because you’re not where you want to be today, doesn’t mean you won’t be there someday. You can turn it all around in the blink of an eye, by making a simple choice to stand back up – to try again, to love again, to live again, and to dream again. No one can ride you, unless your back is bent. Be a critic, but only criticize yourself in areas that you know you need to grow.
