Many times in life, you will have to work for joy, for it doesn’t simply surround us unless we ask it to. There also will be times where you must be a warrior of hope for positive emotions, but the result will be worth every moment spent in battle. In moments of extreme difficulty, find gratitude in one small thing. Name something or someone for which you’re thankful. Hold onto that thought; hold onto that feeling.

You deserve the best in life and one of the most exceptional means to experience it is by choosing to love yourself. In loving yourself, you’re able to create the reality you experience.

Everyone you meet is fighting a battle. Live compassionately, seize this day and know the best is yet to come.
