​Failure does not mean I'm a failure; It does mean I have not yet succeeded. Failure does not mean I have accomplished nothing; It does mean I have learned something.

​Let God Guide You
by Catherine Pulsifer

Focus on happiness, not discontent
Thank God for the gifts that are heaven sent.

Rather than crying for what we have not
Give thanks for all that you've got.

Count your blessings and then
Share them with others again and again.

Always be kind, loving and true
With others and those dear to you.

Always show patience, don't turn away
It will make life worthwhile tomorrow and today.

Giving helps others you know
But more importantly it helps you to grow.

God gave us the ability to do, not just try
Give thanks rather than cry.

Live your life fully and true
Don't let life get you blue.

As you start your day
Get down on your knees and pray.

Let God guide you In all that you do.

​​As you start transforming your life, often your purpose becomes clearer and your need to live it every day increases in importance.
                                                                           --- Carolyn A. Brent

Although we cannot control the struggles we unexpectedly face, we do possess a quality - resilience - that helps us overcome the pain and maintain hope. Resilience brings us back to our dreams when the storm is over.
