This is part of what a family is about, not just love. It's knowing that your family will be there watching out for you. Nothing else will give you that. Not money. Not fame. Not work. —Mitch Albom

We are designed with a dreaming brain and a hopeful spirit; it is our nature to envision the life of our dreams. And while dreaming comes easy to us, we must never forget that it takes strength, dedication, and courageous action to bring that dream to life. #<Author:0x00007fdd541dc868>
LIVE YOUR DREAMS
The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins. #<Author:0x00007fdd5429e1e8>
RESPONSIBILITY
What lies behind you and what lies in front of you pales in comparison to what lies inside you. #<Author:0x00007fdd542543e0>
CONFIDENCE
If you feel like there’s something out there that you’re supposed to be doing, if you have a passion for it, then stop wishing and just do it. #<Author:0x00007fdd54376598>
PASSION
To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded. #<Author:0x00007fdd54364550>

HOPE
The most precious gift we can offer others is our presence. When mindfulness embraces those we love, they will bloom like flowers. #<Author:0x00007fdd546d5270>
MINDFULNESS
When you know who you are; when your mission is clear and you burn with the inner fire of unbreakable will; no cold can touch your heart; no deluge can dampen your purpose. You know that you are alive. #<Author:0x00007fdd546bf678>
PURPOSE
Ultimately, we have just one moral duty: to reclaim large areas of peace in ourselves…,and to reflect it towards others. And the more peace there is in us, the more peace there will be in our troubled world. #<Author:0x00007fdd5470d7d8>
PEACE
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually who are you not to be? #<Author:0x00007fdd546f7bb8>
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there some day. #<Author:0x00007fdd546e5a08>
PATIENCE
It is a grand thing to rise in the world. The ambition to do so is the very salt of the earth. It is the parent of all enterprise, and the cause of all improvement. #<Author:0x00007fdd5472f680>
