"Be Positive Thoughts"
"I'm a patriot, and always have been, as a matter of fact, I believe that every person in Law Enforcement and the Military is...To give your life for someone you don't even know or haven't even met, so that someone else can live... Man to me that's honor, courage and bravery all wrapped up in one! That's what makes America great to me! That we have people out there, dignified souls that are willing to give all they have and expect nothing in return."

"Don't let anyone steal your joy. You might not always be able to control a situation, but you can control how you react to it. Don't give your power away to anyone. When you allow your happiness to depend on what someone else does or says, then you are giving your power away. You need to decide to stay positive and not let someone decide your happiness for you."
Written in 2012 by Diana Marconi --- Texas
I feel very strongly about this. I have slowly been learning that I am responsible for my own happiness...not someone else. I can control how much power I allow a situation to have over me. I can decide how I am going to react to it. I am learning not to give my power away.

"When people ask me how I got to where I am, I'll tell them the truth...
I broke the rules! After all, rules are just "man made" statements to keep us from coming out of our shells; they are meant to be bent and broken. I believe certain rules can and should be broken so not only other people can see who we really are but more importantly for ourselves to realize our true selves."

I wrote this myself and I believe it becomes more true every time I read it!

You may discover that in the long run you are much stronger than you believed and life will then take on a whole new meaning! You will be Great!"
