Some people have a photographic memory. I've got the film.
Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be Kind. Always.
"There is only so much energy available to us in life. Spending it on solving problems is one possible way of living your life, but this may leave you empty~ hearted; spending it on what excites you is a lot more fulfilling and fun ~~ and effortless; and usually, the previously experienced problems vanish on their own. We don't have to battle against the darkness when all we need to do is turn on the light."
People always think that the most painful thing in life is losing the one you value. The truth is, the most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of valuing someone too much and forgetting that you are special too.
"Regardless of what is going on around you, make the best of what is within your power, and take the rest as it occurs."
-- Epictetus
“To Travel is to Live” ~ Hans Christian Andersen.
When you improve a little each day, eventually big things occur. When you improve conditioning a little each day, eventually you have a big improvement in conditioning. Not tomorrow, not the next day, but eventually a big gain is made. Don't look for the big, quick improvement. Seek the small improvement one day at a time. That's the only way it happens -- and when it happens, it lasts."
-- John Wooden
Those who live in gratitude, see beauty even in the smallest gift, they see life as a miracle opening up before them..
It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see. - Henry David Thoreau
"It doesn't matter if the song of life that you sing is simple or complicated. All that matters is how much you put into that song. Your life is controlled only by what you give to it. You won't get anything from it if you don't put feeling into life. That's why people fall in love. If they give that feeling, they get it back. Put all you've got into this life, and when the day comes for you to pass on, you won't regret what you did."
"You cannot convince someone to see something that they do not want to see, no matter how much you know it would improve their lives. You have to love and accept them exactly as they are today. If you cannot do that, you have to let them go and find their own way, in their own time, if they ever choose to do so. Otherwise, you'll be giving them the power over your happiness, too."
