Carlos-wallace Quote by Carlos Wallace
““Our lives are so busy, and for many of us the demands are overwhelming. Some of us focus so much on the needs of others, we lose sight of ourselves. Stop, for one moment. Take a deep breath. Be still. Re-focus. Concentrate on improving YOUR life. One situation at a time; You can't be much good to others, if you're no good to yourself. If they love you, they’ll understand.””
