We know it, but just to believe it!

I love this.  What a great mantra to remember.  When friends are going through hard times, I usually pull a few of these out. I just wish I could really believe it all, especially for myself.  People always say how up beat and happy I am.   I'm not sure if it's a mask I wear or if that's really me.  I know that happiness is something I yearn for and chose to bring into my life.  But man, it's not easy keeping all the bad stuff away.  All the doubts, the fears, the insecurities, the feeling-sorry-for-yourselfs.  When they creep in I give myself a few minutes (or hours) to wallow and then I get up and shake it off and remind myself that life is short and I need to breath every healthy breath I can and love every second I have on this great earth.  

Anyway, enjoy this awesome list!
