Life can make choices for us Sometimes these choices Seem unfair And make us unhappy if we let them. But in the end we control our own destiny Because we can decide how we are going to allow People or events to affect us. So much of our happiness, and unhappiness, Lies within the choices we make. We can accept  that life isn’t the way we want it to be, Or we can work to change it so it will be. We can walk through the shadows, Or we can choose to smile And to seek out the sunlight. We can create grand dreams That never leave the ground, We can look at only The negative aspects of ourselves, Or we can lift ourselves up By being our own best friend. We can live in the past Or dream about the future, Or we can live for today. We can give up when the road becomes difficult, Or we can keep on going Until the view is much better. The choices in life are endless, And so is the potential for happiness…

Life's circumstances are not always what you may wish them to be. The pattern of life does not necessarily go as you plan.Beyond any understanding, you may at times be led in different directions that you never imagined, dreamed,or designed. Yet if you had never put any effort into choosing a path, or try to carry out your dream, then perhaps you would no direction at all. Rather than wondering about or questioning the direction you life has taken, accept the fact that there is a path before you now. Shake off the ''why's'' and ''what if's'', and rid yourself of confusion. Whatever was - is in the past. Whatever is - is what's important. The past is a brief reflection. The future is yet to be realized. Today is here. Walk your path one step at a time - with courage, faith and determination. Keep your head up, and cast your dreams to the stars. Soon your steps will become firm and your footing will be solid again.A path tha...

Adversity will come to every person at some time. How you meet it, what you make of it, what you allow it to take from you and give to you, is determined by your mental habits. In short, you have to take the cards in life that are dealt to you. Adversity can actually be a positive thing, even though it certainly doesn't feel like it when we are facing it. Adversity is what defines us. It is easy to have a great attitude, a strong work ethic and a positive outlook when things are going great. But how do we stand up during tough times? Consider the following phenomenal achievements of famous people who experienced severe adversity: - When Bob Dylan performed at his high school talent show, classmates booed him off the stage. - Walt Disney experienced both bankruptcy and a tragic nervous ...

Follow your heart, never surrender your dreams. Constantly work towards your goals. Believe in yourself, and always be truthful. Take time to enjoy life's pleasures. Keep your mind open to new experiences. Think before acting, but don't forget the joys of spontaneity. Make your own decisions. Look out for yourself, but remember that you share this universe with others. Look for the good in others, everybody has their own song to sing. Live each moment to the fullest, for a moment too soon becomes a memory. Look for opportunities, not guarantees. Hope for the best. Give people a chance to love you, for that is how you learn to love. Live your life for yourself, but always be considerate of others. Believe in tomorrow, for it holds the key to your dreams. ~ Melissa Ososki ~

Your presence is a present to the world. You're unique and one of a kind. Your life can be what you want it to be. Take the days just one at a time. Count your blessings, not your troubles. You'll make it through, whatever comes along. Within you are so many answers. Understand, have courage, be strong. Don't put limits on yourself. So many dreams are waiting to be realized. Decisions are too important to leave to chance. Reach for your peak, your goal and your prize. Nothing wastes more energy than worrying. The longer one carries a problem the heavier it gets. Don't take things too seriously. Live a life of serenity, not a life of regrets. Remember that a little love goes a long way. Remember that a lot of love goes forever. Remember that friendship is a wise investment. Life's treasures, are people . . . together. Realize that it's never too late. Do ordinary things in an extraordinary way. Have health, hope and happiness...

What will I give to the world today? What will I add to the experiences of the people with whom I have contact on this day? I can't say for sure just whom I'll deal with today, but I can decide right now whether I want my contribution to this day to be positive or negative, helpful or hurtful, constructive or destructive, uplifting or not. Today, I want to contribute pleasantness whenever I meet someone, whether I know them or not. I don't have to wear a pasted-on smile in order to be pleasant, but I do have to avoid sarcasm or judgment. When people receive my pleasantness, it may be the first pleasantness of their day, so I'll try to be very pleasant. I'd also like to contribute kindness to this new day. This means that I must use words that are kind and act in a...

. ''Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.
