When we experience setbacks in life, it helps to remember that being alive give us chances to rebounce back from failures and life offers unlimited possibilities.

And each day is a gift.
So enjoy every minute,
As it were your last to live.

Hug them tight,
Share with them your heart,
And your time.

Nothing is forever,
And life goes so fast,
Each minute that passes,
Is one you can’t get back.

When troubles arrive,
And knock you off your feet,
Stand up and smile,
And remember life is too sweet.

Every morning when you wake,
Decide right from the start,
That “Today will be a good day”
And let it all in with an open heart.."
