Understanding Goes A Long Way

“I wasn’t offering her pity,” Mrs. Caswell said impatiently. “Tragedies don’t interest me, tragedies and heartbreaks are all alike, what matters is how a person meets them, how they survive them. Given the inevitability of losses and disappointments in life, that’s where the challenge is and the uniqueness. I was offering her sympathy.” 

~~ Dorothy Gilman (Mrs. Pollifax)

From the Darkest Depths Come the Most Exotic Flowers

“Great people will always be mocked by those who feel smaller than them. A lion does not flinch at laughter coming from a hyena. A gorilla does not budge from a banana thrown at it by a monkey. A nightingale does not stop singing its beautiful song at the intrusion of an annoying woodpecker. Whenever you should doubt your self-worth, remember the lotus flower. Even though it plunges to life from beneath the mud,
it does not allow the dirt that surrounds it to affect its growth or beauty.”

So Move Already!

Even if you’re on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there.

The Better Person Hidden Inside

“Heart” by Devann De Sousa

And finally I twist my heart round again, so that the bad is on the outside and the good is on the inside, and keep on trying to find a way of becoming what I would so like to be, and could be, if there weren’t any other people living in the world.
**Anne Frank

How You Treat Them Shows How You View Yourself

“Goodness is about character – integrity, honesty, kindness, generosity, moral courage, and the like. More than anything else, it is about how we treat other people.”

**Dennis Prager

Make A Goal Worth Reaching

“We are at our very best, and we are happiest, when we are fully engaged in work we enjoy on the journey toward the goal we’ve established for ourselves. It gives meaning to our time off and comfort to our sleep. It makes everything else in life so wonderful, so worthwhile.”

**Earl Nightingale

Except when it doesnt, then you know you have a problem

Once we know of atrocities we cannot remain silent, and knowledge inevitably leads to an urge to protect the innocent.

Stay Strong!

“I Can resist everything in life, except temptation”

**Oscar Wilde

With Courage, Others Follow

“Courage is the first of all the virtues because if you haven’t courage, you may not have the opportunity to use any of the others.”

~ Dr. Samuel Johnson

Sky’s the Limit

“To dream anything that you want to dream. That’s the beauty of the human mind. To do anything that you want to do. That is the strength of the human will. To trust yourself to test your limits. That is the courage to succeed.”

**Bernard Edmonds
