December 28, 2010 by Alissa Finerman 1 Comment

4. Achieving genuine happiness may require bringing about a transformation in your outlook and way of thinking. ~ DALAI LAMA
5. Love life, engage in it, give it all you’ve got. Love it with a passion, because life truly does give back, many times over, what you put into it. ~ MAYA ANGELOU
