Life is not the way it’s supposed to be, it’s the way it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference.
When you arise in the morning think of what a privilege it is to be alive, to think, to enjoy, to love .
We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life, when all that we need to make us happy is something to be enthusiastic about.
The grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.
