    motivational l bookmark - live for today

    If we really want to love, we must learn how to forgive. — Mother Teresa

    If you fill your heart with the regrets of yesterday and the worries of tomorrow, you have no today to be thankful for.

    The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is and the future less resolved than it will be. — Marcel Pagnol
