setbacks

Sometimes setbacks are just bad luck and we have accepted them and deal with them, sometimes they come to shake us up and take us out of our comfort zone, a sign that it is time to take a closer look at our lives.

‘The past has passed, you can start all over again at any time!’

Happiness is in you

People with disabilities or short life expectancies often are a wonderful example to us. They can still be happy despite what they experience. Happiness is not in what someone else thinks of you, what you have, what you look like, how intelligent you are or how much money or influence you have. Happiness is a state of mind, it is in you and has always been there. It is your birthright to enjoy it to the full.

Why not feel good NOW and be happy? The beauty is that if you are happy, others feel this and love to be with you!
