About This Quote

I have been on a roller coaster ride during my life. I have experienced joy, sadness, anger, happiness and a lot of other emotions. But what I have gained from all those experiences is a perspective of life a lot more positive than before. I have learned to value the things that I can’t control.

For example, I no longer obsess over the things that happened in my past. Instead, I try my best to live each day as it comes and do my best to make this world a better place every day.
