Life is a mixture of happy and sad moments

We all have blessings and we all have curses, and whichever you decide to focus your energy upon will be the way that the rest of your story likely turns out. You can choose happiness or sadness, it is entirely your choice.
Life is going to give you what it is going to give you regardless, I don’t care how many people tell you that if you just think about something good that it is going to happen. I don’t believe in the law of attraction, or in some otherworldly metaphysical principle that guides everything you dream about and think about into your life, but what I DO believe in is hard work, in our ability to influence the odds and bring favorable events and things into our life.
