"Making changes in your life is never an easy task. The key, however, is not to get caught up in the distance you have to go to get to where you want to be. Nor should you despair over the amount of control you have over your circumstances. Progress is made in the small, intentional steps, and chances are, you have more power than you think. By focusing on little steps you can have more power than you think. By focusing on little steps you can take every day, the progress you make will motivate you to continue your journey, and eventually, you can go wherever you want to go. The important thing is simply to begin."
-Stephen Cheriske
"All of life is a journey; which paths we take, what we look back on, and what we look forward to is up to us. We determine our destination, what kind of road we will take to get there, and how happy we are when we get there."

"Just for today, no matter where I am going, or what I am doing, or who I am doing it with, it is my intention to focus on the positive."

Well everybody, that is it for now. I will keep updating as soon as I gather more. Resources I used were from both the book's The Bounce Back Book by Karen Salmansohn and the wonderful book The 7 Habits of Highly effective Teens by Sean Covey. Rest was from from the Google search engine.
I really hope you enjoyed them!
