Making A Living Quotes (page 4)
Quit worrying about how everything is going to turn out. Live one day at a time; better yet, make the most of this moment.

Joel Osteen
You experienced pain yesterday and you discovered that it led to pleasure. You experienced it today and found peace. That's why I'm telling you: Don't get used to it, because it's very easy to become habituated: it's a very powerful drug.
