“Instead of worrying about what you cannot control, shift your energy to what you can create.”
Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart

Roy T. Bennett
“Even if you cannot change all the people around you, you can change the people you choose to be around. Life is too short to waste your time on people who don’t respect, appreciate, and value you. Spend your life with people who make you smile, laugh, and feel loved.”
Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart
