I write to express my thoughts, my feelings. I want people to think.  (Mattie Stepanek Quotes) Sad things happen. They do. But we don’t need to live sad forever.  (Mattie Stepanek Quotes) Sometimes my body wakes me up and says ‘Hey, you haven’t had pain in a while. How about pain?’ And sometimes I can’t breathe, and that’s hard to live with. But I still celebrate life and don’t give up  (Mattie Stepanek Quotes) The way of life is not as easy as some people think... Like me  (Mattie Stepanek Quotes) I feel that God has given me a very special opportunity that I should not let go to waste. I use the gift he has given me  (Mattie Stepanek Quotes) I would not have lasted a minute, literally a minute, on this Earth without God and angels by my side, because I was born.

Sometimes I say, ‘Why me? Why do I have such a hard life? Why do I have this disease? Why do I have siblings who died?’ But then I think and say, ‘Why not me?’  (Mattie Stepanek Quotes) Poetry is a beautiful way of expressing feelings - happy, sad, angry, caring.

And I loved doing that  (Mattie Stepanek Quotes) Remember to look at your glass half full and not half empty. A lot of my strength comes from God. God has given me a gift - the gift of life - and it’s amazing that I live each day  (Mattie Stepanek Quotes) We all have life storms, and when we get the rough times and we recover from them, we should celebrate that we got through it.
