Remember why you started, remember where you're headed, think of how great it will be to get there, and keep going.
Ralph MarstonRead
Every positive thing in your life represents a single unique blessing. Every negative thing in your life has the opportunity to become a double blessing. For when you turn a negative into a positive, you gain twice. You are no longer burdened with the negative situation, and in addition to that you are strengthened by a new positive force.
