It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light. Aristotle

I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.

Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.

Francis of Assisi

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.

The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.

He who does not understand your silence will probably not understand your words.

Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive.

I like animals because they are not consciously cruel and don't betray each other.

Taylor Caldwell

Don't let the past steal your present. This is the message of Christmas: We are never alone.

Taylor Caldwell

GIVERS GET GIVEN TO.

I MAY BE A DIFFERENT BIRD THAN MOST, YET THE MORE I SEE, THE MORE I ACCEPT AND HONOUR BEING ME.

THE UNIVERSE NEVER ASKED YOU TO STRUGGLE. IT IS SIMPLY ANSWERING YOUR MOOD.

LIFE IS SO MUCH BRIGHTER WHEN WE FOCUS ON WHAT TRULY MATTERS.

ALLOW THE LITTLE THINGS TO FILL YOU UP WITH JOY.

A Poem to which I can relate

PAPER DOLLS

Subscrever: Mensagens (Atom)

Here's a dozen of my favorite things never to apologize for:

1) Never apologize for acting on your instincts.
2) Never apologize for being passionate.
3) Never apologize for being smart.
4) Never apologize for demanding respect.
5) Never apologize for saying no.
6) Never apologize for not embracing someone else's agenda.
7) Never apologize for disagreeing.
8) Never apologize for your faith.
9) Never apologize for your own sense of creativity.
10) Never apologize for ordering dessert.
11) Never apologize for being funny.
12) Never apologize for living your truth.

Every one of us casts a shadow.

There hangs about us, a sort of a strange, indefinable something, which we call personal influence--that has its effect on every other life on which it falls. It goes with us wherever we go. It is not something we can have when we want to have it--and then lay aside when we will, as we lay aside a garment. It is something that always pours out from our lives . . . as light from a lamp, as heat from flame, as perfume from a flower.

The ministry of personal influence is something very wonderful. Without being conscious of it, we are always impressing others by this strange power that exudes from us. Others watch us--and their thinking and actions are modified by our influence."

"Be very careful, then, how you live--not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity." Ephesians 5:15-16

~J. R. Miller, "The Shadows We Cast"
