Unity is strength... when there is teamwork and collaboration, wonderful things can be achieved.
Even though the future seems far away, it is actually beginning right now.
We all have life storms, and when we get the rough times and we recover from them, we should celebrate that we got through it. No matter how bad it may seem, there's always something beautiful that you can find.
If it came to a magic genie, I would ask him for two extra wishes. One would be that no one would have to live with the muscular dystrophy disease or any disease. And the second one would be world peace, that we just stop fighting, talk about things, and we could live in harmony once again, like God intended us to do.
While we are living in the present, we must celebrate life every day, knowing that we are becoming history with every work, every action, every deed.
