Thought for TODAY: 17th December 2012

By


Sometimes in life you reach a stage where, when you look back you don't see anyone. Fret not. It does not mean you are last in the race or you are alone. It simply means, you are the performer on this stage of life and people are waiting as audience to see your performance. Just ROCK IT!! ♥
