I believe the simple things in life are what matter most. Every night I enjoy watching the stars light up our night sky, and I find bliss watching leaves fall gently to the ground. I observe the small things that many people tend to ignore. It brings me happiness, hope and peace. It makes me appreciate my life and everything I am blessed to have.

We are the creators of our own destiny. We can have the life we choose as long as we put our heart, mind and soul’s into achieving it. I believe wisdom is the answer to our worries, problems or fears. It can save us from ourselves, and it may bring new meaning to our lives and inspire us to become better.

These quotes inspire me to make a difference:

• “The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even heard, but must be felt with the heart.” - Helen Keller

• “To me, fearless is not the absence of fear. It’s not being completely unafraid. To me, fearless is having fears. Fearless is having doubts; lots of them. To me, fearless is living in spite of those things that scare you to death.” – Taylor Swift
  

• “Don’t follow your dreams; chase them.” – Richard Dumb

• “Each of us is here for a brief sojourn; for what purpose we know not, though sometimes we sense it. But we know from daily life that we exist for other people first of all, for whose smiles and well-being our own happiness depends.” – Albert Einstein
  

• “All of us are born for a reason, but all of us don’t discover why. Success in life has nothing to do with what you gain in life or accomplish for yourself. It’s what you do for others.” – Danny Thomas

As long as this exists, and it certainly always will, I know that then there will always be comfort for every sorrow.” – Anne Frank
