Peter’s Quote of The Day

Once my life was a pendulum of thoughts; anxiety for the future and anger for my past experiences. Now I understand, the future will never happen, as ‘now’ is all that there is. The past, I keep behind a sealed and locked door with sign tacked on it saying, “Forgotten.” I love each new day;

Peter’s Quote of The Day

I am grateful I have experienced many failures in differing ways in my life; but those failures never lasted. The opportunities that followed them have never ceased.

Peter’s Quote of The Day
