Life isn't a lazy cruise on some endless, calm, and temperate sea. Life is a raging ocean with swells and tidal waves that wreck and sink your boat. Life is a series of storms―overcast skies, fierce winds, and pelting rain. You were meant to be immersed in it all―first to float, then swim, and eventually to walk on water.

When my problems seem overwhelming and impossible to solve, I hold fast to these facts: God is real, He is right, and He cares.

One of the most effective things you will ever do in life, whether you care to or not, is set an example.

Life can be awful. Life can be ugly.And still there are those who smile at the darkness, anticipating the beauty of an eventual sunrise.

It is a fight to let go of a past that refuses to withdraw its sticky tentacles from your present.

Be not wishing and pining but thankfully content.  For it is a short bridge between wanting and regret.'- from 'Dimpellumpzki.
