"Happiness is not a state to arrive at, but a manner of traveling." -Margaret Lee Runbeck
A Matter of Choice
"Immaturity is thinking that you have all the answers. Wisdom is knowing that you don't. Weakness is wanting to control everything around you. Strength is gracefully accepting and valuing what is. Insecurity is the constant, gnawing desire to have more and more. Confidence is knowing that you already are enough. Failure is thinking that you can advance yourself by pushing others down. Success is understanding that the more you lift others up, the more you'll be lifted yourself. Despair is committing yourself to shallow, superficial things that too soon will wither and die. Joy is filling your world and your life with the things that truly matter. Every moment, you are fully capable of living with wisdom, strength, confidence, success and joy. It's not a matter of chance, but always a matter of choice. And you can make the choices now that will surely take you there." -- Ralph Marston

God will always be there for you if you believe in Him. It's the choices that you make for yourself will determine your fate in this world. In reality, nothing is ever in our favor.
