Don't waste your time and energy on the things or people that bring you negativity. There are too many positive things out here in the world to experience and very little time to see it all. The clock ticks the same for everyone and plays no favoritism. You can't rewind it back and you certainly can't stop it! It's on you! Time is your investment. Don't misspend it. Believe the Champion in You.
Crazy how it takes so much TIME for people to actually REALIZE this. Not only time, but so much pain and hardships one has to go through in order to realize this....
You're right Laura..
