I was just reading an article in Guideposts magazine and ran across the greatest quote, maybe one of the best, I have ever heard.

Joel Osteen, a young preacher of one of the largest churches in the U.S., said his wife washed his Lexus, that had belonged to his father, who had died. It held some sentimental value. She came home and it had a scratch from one end to the other. He said he stopped and thought, you can either choose to let this ruin your weekend, or you can choose to not make a big deal out of it. He then told his wife that he was probably the only person in Houston to have a Lexus with a racing stripe.

His quote: "Happiness is a decision you make."

I love that, and will keep that as my personal quote from now on.

So true, so very very true... Happiness is a decision only you can make, he is so right.. And I agree that is a very good personal quote..
