"Take Life by the reins and steer it towards a new dawn, here you and your horse, Life, will live in happiness." -Unknown
As silly as this quote may seem, it means a lot to me, really. To me it tells me that life can be a fun, happy thing if you steer it the right way. Much like if you ride your horse into a ditch, if you ride your life into a ditch, it isn't all that great.
I live by this and I always try to be happy and to be the best I can at steering my life in the right direction, although everyone has those day's in which everything is a mess and your horse named Life has arthritis and its so hard to steer it. Sometimes you just need to give Life a kickstart, or a slap on the flank, and get it moving again!
