Not because life has been easy, perfect, 

or exactly as you had anticipated,

but because you choose to be happy

and grateful for all the good things you do have

and all the problems you know you don’t have.”

It _matters_ what those visions are. 

Often they become self-fulfilling prophecies. 

Dreams are maps.”

the nicest people you meet
