Happiness is the choice I make today. It does not rest on my circumstances, but on my frame of mind. I surrender to God any emotional habits that lead me down the path of unhappiness, and pray for guidance in shifting my thoughts.

For such is my choice today.

Excitement doesn't knock at your door any less when you're older than when you're younger. It's just that when you're younger, you're more likely to open the door and let it in.

Yet a surefire way to diminish your energy is to deny the Ultimate energy pill, which is participation in life itself.

The human race has only one really effective weapon and that is laughter.
