100 Things to Always Remember…. and One Thing to Never Forget

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, 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.
