Worrying is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do, but it gets you nowhere.
~Glenn Turner
Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy.
~Leo Buscaglia
Do not anticipate trouble or worry about what may never happen. Keep in the sunlight.
~Benjamin Franklin
If you can't sleep, then get up and do something instead of lying there worrying. It's the worry that gets you, not the lack of sleep.
~Dale Carnegie

Attitude...
Attitudes are contagious. Are yours worth catching?
~Dennis and Wendy Mannering
Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine.
~Anthony J. D'Angelo, The College Blue Book
Happiness is an attitude. We either make ourselves miserable, or happy and strong. The amount of work is the same.

Take action...
Inspirations never go in for long engagements; they demand immediate marriage to action.

God has given you one face, and you make yourself another.
~William Shakespeare
It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.

Gratefulness is the key to a happy life that we hold in our hands, because if we are not grateful, then no matter how much we have we will not be happy -- because we will always want to have something else or something more.

A few things from Mother Teresa...

It is impossible to walk rapidly and be unhappy.
Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.
