" When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest! If you must-but never quit.
Life is queer, with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might of won if he'd stuck it out;
Stick to your task, though the pace seems slows-
You may succeed with one more blow.
Success is failure turned inside out-
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt-
And you may never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit-
It's when things seem worse that YOU MUSN'T QUIT."

Ten Life Lessons
1. Always have integrity with yourself and others. Be your word. Do what you say you will – and own up when you don’t.
2. Live with an attitude of gratitude to bring so much more goodness back into your life. We live in a truly abundant world – there is more than enough for all of us.
3. Your life counts and it is up to you to make it count. This life is not a rehearsal – so make the most of it.
4. People are so amazing and never cease to surprise with their capacity for goodness – always give them the benefit of the doubt and know that they are doing the best they can.
5. There is so much beauty all around us it takes your breathe away. You just have to see things through new eyes.
6. The most fulfilling life is one of service and contribution – give, give and give to receive.
7. Take total self care – this body is for life and the only one we will have.
8. Always be optimistic and adopt a positive attitude – things are never as bad as they may seem.
9. Learn to forgive and let go – this is the key for making all relationships loving.
10. Be childlike in your approach to life. Live with joy – laugh a lot, be light hearted and happy.
The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes their way. Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried; for only they can appreciate the importance of the people who have touched their lives ♥
“Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through
self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.”~ Helen Keller
"Every failure, obstacle or hardship is an opportunity in disguise. Success in many cases is failure turned inside out. The greatest pollution problem we face today is negativity. Eliminate the negative attitude and believe you can do anything. Replace 'if I can, I hope, maybe' with 'I can, I will, I must.'"
~ Mary Kay Ash
“Don't judge me for my past mistakes; Accept me for the person I've become.”
~Unknown"Caring about someone means working through problems, regardless of how big or how small, and not giving up on the relationship."
~ Anonyms "Love prospers when a fault is forgiven, but dwelling on it separates close friends." ~Anonyms
“Real friends accept you and love you for who you are. They don’t try to change you. They don’t try and change you to be who THEY want you to be. They accept your flaws, and love you regardless.”
~ Lucille Ball
