Happiness isn’t a destination, it’s a journey.

If you take shortcuts, you'll get short-term happiness. Start the habits that will lead to your long-term joy and satisfaction with your life.

“I will try one hundred times to get up, and if I fail one hundred times and I give up, will I ever get up? No! If I fail I’ll try again and again. But I want to tell you, it’s not the end.” – Nick Vujicic

Quitting is the easiest way to never reach your goals. The most successful people in the world get knocked down, but they keep getting back up. You only lose when you give up!Never give up!!

The end of that journey is as important as the first. I decided on July 21, 1973 to accept Jesus as my Savior. So I know where this journey leaves off, I'll find myself in the arms of Jesus. What a great, glorious, and safe place to be!

If there's an end to that journey, it's when one accepts death with a smile and final words that say "thank you" :)

@Heartlander But as Jesus said (and Arnold Schwarzenegger, but he doesn't count hahaha) "I'LL BE BACK!!" Death isn't the end, praise God! But you are so right! We can bid adieu with a grateful heart for all we've learned, had, and done. Even the painful experiences were valuable in helping us learn and grow, and helped us come out the other side, in victory! And even when my mom and dad died within six months of each other, the Lord was so good to me and gave me a peace that passes all understanding from the Holy Spirit. While it was sad to see them go, death was swallowed up in Victory and just like Jesus said, "Death hath no sting!" for those in Christ. We know we'll see our loved ones, again!
