Edith Piaf – “Non, Je Ne Regrette…”

Exactly! Live it! Own it! Be it!become it! Keep moving forward! As Edith Piaf proclaimed “will power” & love is all you need. I would like to add hope and opportunities to Piaf’s life’s essentials of love & willpower. With no regrets – hard lessons learned for past mistakes – we keep walking onwards… March on! March on! Hope allows us to believe in ourselves, as we live our lives authentically with no regrets! Always learning, suffering and growing wiser.

Persistence in the face of adversity!

If you live long enough, you’ll make mistakes. But if you learn from them, you’ll be a better person. It’s how you handle adversity, not how it affects you. The main thing is never quit, never quit, never quit.
William J. Clinton
