Gratitude is the open door to abundance.
Never reply when you are angry.
Never make a promise when you are happy.
Never make a decision when you are sad.

You’ll never be brave if you don’t get hurt.
You’ll never learn, if you don’t make mistakes.
You’ll never be successful, if you don’t encounter failure.
