When you get up in the morning, you have two choices - either to be happy or to be unhappy. Just choose to be happy

Happy, even in anguish, is he to whom God has given a soul worthy of love and grief! He who has not seen the things of this world, and the heart of men in this double light, has seen nothing, and knows noting of the truth.

Victor Hugo
