I found a piece of paper with handwritten toughts from my mom...this is what she said... REMEMBER... Try making the best of what you are... Do not complain if you do not have the right tools for living... But use well the tools you have... Make the best of what you are, wherever you find yourself... Know who you are... Take courage and live wisely by looking your disadvantages in the face... See what can be done with them... Focus on the good... Take something ordinary and make it special... Be willing to see wonderful possibilities in something uniformed, ordinary or even ugly... Angels sometimes block our path but only if we're going in the wrong directions... Tomorrow the sun rises, and tomorrow and tomorrow... Day by day, we go on... We laugh again, we may even love again... Life is hard, full of negative things that might happen. Dissappointment. Losses. Unfulfilled expectations. Sadness... Face your fears... An optimistic attitude will make today more enjoyable... Each of us has a choice... We can choose to accept the things we can't change and learn to act on the things we can change... We gain self-respect when we decide to stop blaming others for our dilemas and take responsibility for our own choices.
