Victim or Inspiration?

“Happiness studies have shown that happy people are the ones whose goals and actions are aligned.  Are you going to be a victim, or are you going to be an inspiration who refuses to give up? I know what I want to be.”

Evan Mark Katz

We All Have Peaks and Valleys

“There was a time in life when I didn’t love myself enough to love anyone else. We all have peaks and valleys and it’s in the valleys that you learn who you are”

Mary J. Bligh at the Grammy Awards

I Intend to be Happy

“I intend to be happy! I like to be alive. I like to feel good. That is what I like about myself”

Linda

Happiness lives for those who cry, those who are hurt, those who have searched, and those who tried…for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.

The happiest people don’t necessarily have the best of everything.  They make the most of everything they have and everything that comes to them.  If you pursue happiness, it will elude you.  But if you focus on what’s important to you with a positive outlook, happiness will find you.

Self Love

I might not be someone’s first choice, but I am a great choice.  

I may not be rich, but I am valuable.  I don’t pretend to be someone I’m not, because I’m good at being me.  

I might not be proud of some of the things I’ve done in the past, but I am proud of who I am today.

 I may not be perfect but I don’t need to be.  Take me as I am, or watch me as I walk away.

What is the most loving thing you can do for yourself today?

What’s Important is My Opinion

” Life is too short to waste any amount of time on wondering what other people think about you. In the first place, if they had better things going on in their lives, they wouldn’t have the time to sit around and talk about you. What’s important to me is not others’ opinions of me, but what’s important to me is my opinion of myself”

Resistance to Fear

Most fears we have never happen, however, when we focus on them and hold tight to them, they have a way of manifesting themselves. So if you are going to give in to your fears you might as well open the door for them and invite them in.

“Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear”   Mark Twain

“The only thing we have to fear is fear itself”

Franklin D. Roosevelt

What we Believe in our Heart

We must continue on with integrity for what others think or believe about us doesn’t matter. What matters is what we know in our heart and soul as truth.

“We must not allow other people’s limited perceptions to define us.”
Virginia Satir

Beautiful People do not Just Happen

“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.”
Dr.Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

The Whole Point of Believing (again)

 “People seem to lose faith so easily.  Isn’t that the whole point of believing? Tomorrow always brings promises that today couldn’t make” 

Jenna Gilbert

Love

Love…We think about it, sing about it, dream about it, lose sleep worrying about it.  When we don’t have it, we search for it; when we discover it, we don’t know what to do with it; when we have it, we fear losing it.  It is the constant source of pleasure and pain.  But we can’t predict which it will be from one moment to the next.  It is a short word, easy to spell, difficult to define, impossible to live without”
