Quote of the Week ...

Why waste time worrying about things that are out of your control? Instead, place your time, energy, & resources into things you can control: your mindset, faith, effort, dedication, mental & physical fitness, nutrition, reactions to situations, & forgiveness levels #bethebestyou
