Rhonda Byrne

We count negative things when we criticize or find fault with other people, when we complain about traffic, waiting in lines, delays, the government, not enough money, or the weather

Better to lose count while naming your blessings than to lose your blessings to counting your troubles.”

Maltbie D. Babcock
