You are the architect of your own future

When the door of happiness closes, another opens;
but often times we look so long at the closed door
that we don't see the one
which has been opened for us.

Don't go for looks;they can deceive.
Don't go for wealth; even that fades away.
Go for someone who makes you smile,
because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.
Find the one that makes your heart smile.

Dream what you want to dream;
go where you want to go; be what you want to be,
because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things
you want to do.

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet,
enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow
to keep you human, and enough hope to make you happy!

The happiest of people don't necessarily
have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything
that comes along their way.

The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past;
you can't go forward in life until you let go of your past failures
and heartaches.

When you were born, you were crying and everyone around
you was smiling.
Live your life so at the end, you're the one who is smiling
and everyone around you is crying.

Every man is the architect of his own future.
