Do not take anything as being forever, because forever is only as long as today. Know that those who have the most are not the richest but those who need the least. That we are at our strongest when life is at its most difficult, and at our weakest when life no longer offers a challenge. That it is wiser to hope than to expect, for in expecting you invite disappointment, whereas in hoping you welcome surprise. That unhappiness doesn't come from not having something you want, but from the lack of something inside that you need. That there are some things to hold and some to let go, and letting go doesn't mean you lose, but that you acquire that which has been waiting around the corner. And if you help everyone you see in need, when you are in trouble, an abundance of help will come your way. Most importantly, use your dreams as a way of knowing yourself better, and as an inspiration to reach for your star.
All any person needs is one true moment of perfect happiness. Just one. For one moment of smiling and the warmth that sits in your chest can stay with you forever. If that one time of happiness was truly happy, it will never fail to make you happy again. Just think about it and no matter how depressed you feel, you'll feel just that little bit better. - Vicki Bothwell
