The 5 W's of Life

1.  Who you are is what makes you special.  Don't change for anyone.

2.  What lies ahead will always be a mystery.  Don't be afraid to explore.

3.  When life pushes you over, you push back harder.

4.  Where there are choices to make, make the one you won't regret.

5.  Why things happen will never be certain.  Take it in stride and move forward.

"People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered.  Forgive them anyway.  

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish motives.  Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies. Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and sincere, people may deceive you.  Be honest and sincere anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight.  Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous.  Be happy anyway.

The good you do today people will often forget tomorrow.  Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough.  Give them your best anyway.  

In the final analysis, it is between you and God.  It was never between you and them anyway."

~Mother Teresa

"Before you talk, listen.  Before you react, think.  Before you spend, earn.  Before you criticize, wait.  Before you pray, forgive.  Before you quit, try."

"To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children, to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends, to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child or a garden patch...to know even one life has breathed easier because you lived.  This is to have succeeded."

~Emerson
