My new read:
"It's not easy to always be optimistic. Life can be difficult, and in hard economic times it's not just your finances that suffer. Your relationships can be strained. Your health can be stressed. Bad habits can return and negative thoughts can take over. When one part of your life after another takes a bad turn, you can feel like there is no end in sight, no way out. The truth is, maybe you don't have an answer. But God does! Maybe you don't have the strength. But God does!" — Joel Osteen
Joel Osteen was on Anderson Cooper:360 tonight, and they briefly talked about his new book "It's Your Time" which I bought roughly two weeks ago and have yet to start reading. He was on to discuss why it's so important to keep your faith in difficult times and specifically talked about the situation in Haiti. I loved when he said:
"Find something to be grateful for and go out and do something good for somebody else. If you'll make somebody else's day, God will make your day."
That's the truth. I love books that inspire me to keep going. What am I waiting for? I am definitely going to start reading tomorrow, I promised myself and I don't break promises!
