i have so many. these are just a few...

there's no such thing as being too busy. if you really want something, you'll make time for it.

the happiest people do not have the best of everything. they make the best of everything they have.

you is kind. you is smart. you is important.

there are only two ways to live your life. one is as though nothing is a miracle. the other is as if everything is.
