Some people have a photographic memory. I've got the film.
Everything we hear is an OPINION, not a fact. Everything we see is a PERSPECTIVE not the truth. ~ Marcus Aurelius
Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
"Be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. Talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet. Make all your friends feel there is something special in them. Look at the sunny side of everything. Think only of the best, work only for the best, and expect only the best. Be as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. Forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. Give everyone a smile. Spend so much time improving yourself that you have no time left to criticize others. Be too big for worry and too noble for anger."
Some people believe holding on and hanging in there are signs of great strength. However, there are times when it takes much more strength to know when to let go and then do it.
"Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared." ~ Buddha
God doesn't give you the people you want, he gives you the people you need. To help you, to hurt you, to leave you, to love you and make you the person you were meant to be.
First you must unlearn bad habits, before you can learn the true way to be, knowing the difference is the key.
Thinking is easy, acting is difficult, and to put one's thoughts into action is the most difficult thing in the world. ~ Goethe
"Your present circumstances don't determine where you can go; they merely determine where you start."
"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen."
