                   There comes a time in life,

                   when you walk away from

                   all the drama and people

                   who create it.  Surround

                   yourself with people who

                   make you laugh, forget the

                   bad, and focus on the good.

                   Love the people who treat

                   you right.  Pray for the ones

                   who don't.  Life is too short

                   to be anything but happy.

                   falling down is part of life,

                   getting back up is living.

Khloe Kardashian posted this on her Instagram....not sure if she was the original writer.

@KingstonsMom   Jose N. Harris is given the most credit for this quote from Mi Vida - A Story of Faith.

You have to be careful with quotes; people post them on social media and sign their names; not so much to take credit as to just show something they like.  Thus Kim Kardashian has posted this but she is not the author.

Often these types of quotes are used over and over again so much that the original author is lost.

@KingstonsMom    I doubt she was the original writer.  I have a number of different quotes in  my phone and each one has at least 30 quotes in it.  She could very well have the same ones, but thanks for mentioning it.

@KingstonsMom   Glad you found the source, however, I can assure you I did not copy it from Facebook.  One would have to be a fool to do that and I am no fool.

From reading this I can say that many of the things said here, I was doing at a pretty young age, comparatively speaking. Starting probably being full of Optimism, which is pretty much looking at the good in life in lieu of the bad.

Going through tough times can make you stronger, never think you are always a victim. Live your life for yourself, not the way others think you should live. No matter how many times you get knocked down, dust yourself off, and move forward.

@hckynut ...I have experienced a number of times in my life that people are not always kind, and things happen that turn your life upside down.   From those experiences I found the strength to always pick myself up and move on.   I am thankful that my parents taught their two daughters to never allow anyone or anything to get in our way that would knock us down so far that we couldn't get up.  I have never been a victim, I am and always will be a survivor.

@Lindsays Grandma  @KingstonsMom  He is not the author.  He posted this along with other quotes as one of his favorites.

Again, people need to be careful.  Quotes are posted as favorites without original authors.  Then people assum the poster is the author.

I posted where this quote comes from upthread.  I heard this quote in a stress workshop and it was attributed to Jose Harris.
