Change your thoughts and you change your world.

I expect the best and with God’s help will attain the best.

A vital part of the happiness formula is self-discipline. Whoever conquers himself knows deep happiness that fills the heart with joy.

Let a series of happy thoughts run through your mind. They will show on your face.
