Perception…

Today marks the 3 year anniversary of a true blessing disguised as misfortune. Every day I am thankful for something most people would consider a burden.  Such an emotionally good date this will always be for me for the rest of my life.

You Have to Take Chances

“You have to take risks…ask a good looking man for his phone number, send the resume to your dream job, buy a lottery ticket…life doesn’t happen unless you take chances.  You won’t get a second chance so you open yourself up to the possibility.

Teri Hatcher

We Belong to Each Other

I was thinking last night while watching the opening ceremonies of the Olympics about what a happy atmosphere the ceremonies were.  People representing 204 countries…smiling, hopeful, happy, excited, and friendly with each other.  The Olympics represent excellence and the best in all of us.  There is no separation in their minds, only the pursuit of dreams.  It’s a coming together of the world in a most positive way.  

Hmmmm…peace sure is a lot more beautiful than war and hatred.

“If we have no peace it is because we have forgotten we belong to each other”

Mother Theresa

Unthinkable Good Things Can Happen

“They built the tracks before there was a train because they knew one day the train would come.  Unthinkable good things can happen even late in the game”  

From the Movie:  “Under the Tuscan Sun”

“Over every mountain there is a path, although it may not be seen from the valley.”  James Rogers

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

Your Story

I would rather die living than live dying. 

 Some people are afraid to live.  They play it safe and become a prisoner of what they never wanted.  They have dreams and even believe in themselves, but give up too easily.  Then their soul dies.

 But there is a dream that belongs to you only and you can’t be afraid to pursue it.

 I would rather die living my dream than survive living a life that isn’t me.

 “People suffer when they pursue a life or chase a dream that doesn’t belong to them”  Caroline Myss

I Believe…

I Believe…

 

that two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.
that your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don’t even know you.
that even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you, you will find the strength to help.
that credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.
that the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.
that sometimes when I’m angry I have the right to be angry but that doesn’t give me the right to be cruel.
that just because someone doesn’t love you the way you want them to doesn’t mean they don’t love you with all they have.
that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you’ve had and what you’ve learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you’ve celebrated.
that it isn’t always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.
that no matter how bad your heart is broken that the world doesn’t stop for your grief.
that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.
that just because two people argue, it doesn’t mean they don’t love each other.  And just because they don’t argue, it doesn’t mean they do.
that you shouldn’t be eager to find out a secret.  It could change your life forever.
that it’s taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.
that you should always leave loved ones with loving well wishes. It may be the last time you see them.
that you can keep going long after you can’t.
that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.
that we don’t have to change friends, if we understand that friends change.
that no matter how good a friend is, they’re going to hurt you once in a while and you must forgive them for that.
that true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.
that you either control your attitude or it controls you.
that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, that passion fades and there had better be something else to take its place.
that heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.
that you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.
that money is a lousy way of keeping score.
that my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.
that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you’re down, will be the ones who help you get back up.
