“I’ve been blessed to sing on his records and be onstage with Joe on occasion and the only thing I can say is: Thank God he wasn’t born in New Jersey. I would have had a lot more of my work cut out for me.” - Bruce Springsteen

Stay positive.
Not because life is fair,
but because you decide not to break.
A positive mind sees the challenge,
then chooses to rise and move forward.
Positivity fuels your body as much as your mind.
When your thoughts lift you, your energy rises.
