you actually have to change them yourself.

Sometimes to get what you want the most, you have to do what you want the least.

True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves,

and the world around us.

But when darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealedonly if there is light from within.

People are like stained glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out….

Appear weak when you are strong,and strong when you are weak.

Failure is how you learn,but success is what you earn.

A word of encouragement during a failure is worthmore than an hour of praise after success.

The secret of happiness is not doing the things that you like, but liking the things that you do.

Wisdom is learning to let go when you want to hang on.

Courage is learning to hang on when you want to let go.

Silence and a smile are two powerful words.

A smile is the way to solve problems.Silence is the way to avoid problems.

The best place to be is in GOD’S HANDS.
