Some people have a photographic memory. I've got the film.
There are some people who could hear you speak a thousand words and still not understand you. And there are others who will understand without you even speaking a word.
"You must believe that your past is not your future. You are not stuck or defined by tradition and you don't have to listen to what others tell you to do. Focus on the bright things, the ones that bring a smile to your face. Find that passion and focus."
Life is not all about you, when you realise that everyone is fighting a similar battle, you will learn to understand others.
"Instead of putting others down, try improving yourself
instead. The only person you have a right to compete with is
you. In the meantime, treat others how you'd like to be
treated. One trait that some of the best (communicators) share
is empathy. A couple of kind words can not only make a
person's day, but earn you a friend and supporter for life.
For the rest of the week, whenever you see someone you want to
judge negatively, pay them a compliment instead. See what
happens."
Be yourself no matter what. Some will adore you & some will hate everything about you. But who cares? It's your life. Make the most out of it.
"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind."
"You must learn a new way to think before you can master a new
way to be."
"Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending."
"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched, but must be felt with the heart."
"We never give more honour to Jesus than when we honour his Mother, and we honour her simply and solely to honour him all the more perfectly. We go to her only as a way leading to the goal we seek - Jesus, her Son."
