Quotes to ponder:
"Optimism does not mean ignoring the problem entirely, it means understanding that setbacks are inevitable, often temporary, and that you have the skills and abilities to combat the challenges you face."
"LOVE: It’s the greatest force in the universe. It’s a treasure that people would give anything for, yet it costs nothing to give and receive."
"Every minute spent worrying guarantees nothing but less time to enjoy what life has to offer."
