   "One isn't necessarily born with courage,
   but one is born with potential.
   Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency.
   We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest.

   "Feelings of worth can flourish only in an atmosphere
   where individual differences are appreciated,
   mistakes are tolerated, communication is open,
   and rules are flexible -- the kind of atmosphere that is found in a nurturing family."

   Try to believe in magical things;
   The kind of magic that soars and sings;
   That covers the world in beautiful verse;
   That makes bad feelings not feel worse.

    “We plan our lives according to a dream that came to us in our childhood, and we find that life alters our plans. And yet, at the end, from a rare height, we also see that our dream was our fate. It's just that providence had other ideas as to how we would get there. Destiny plans a different route, or turns the dream around, as if it were a riddle, and fulfills the dream in ways we couldn't have expected.”

    "Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow."
