When life suddenly brings you to a halt, be grateful…

“When life suddenly brings you to a halt, be grateful. Sometimes we are driving so fast on our journey, we lose control over ourselves. Sometimes we need those emergency brakes to stop us,to make us think and to give us the opportunity to change direction if our current route is taking us nowhere.” quote by Zainab Hussain
