Great souls have wills; feeble ones have only wishes.
The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts. Not any person, thing, or a situation, but ONLY YOUR THOUGHTS can make you happy.
Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right.. Forget about the one's who don't. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy -The cost of living is high. But its worth living!
Always remember: 'To the world you might be one person, But....To one person you might be the world!' To give pleasure to a single heart by a single act is better than a thousand heads bowing in prayer.
