dmmm Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Hi I have taken these quotes from 60 Quotes that Will Change the Way You Think I copied and pasted and saved the ones from the list of 60 that really struck a chord with me. Ignore the numbers! Those in bold are those that really struck a chord! Just need to start actually applying them to my life now.. Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.No matter how many mistakes you make or how slow you progress, you are still way ahead of everyone who isn’t trying.If a person wants to be a part of your life, they will make an obvious effort to do so. Think twice before reserving a space in your heart for people who do not make an effort to stay.Making one person smile can change the world – maybe not the whole world, but their world.Life is 10% of what happens to you and 90% of how you react to it.The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, and forgetting that you are special too.It’s better to be alone than to be in bad company.Giving up doesn’t always mean you’re weak, sometimes it means you are strong enough and smart enough to let go and move on.Don’t say you don’t have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresea, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, Albert Einstein, etc…IWhile you’re busy looking for the perfect person, you’ll probably miss the imperfect person who could make you perfectly happy.f you really want to do something, you’ll find a way. If you don’t, you’ll find an excuse. In life, if you don’t risk anything, you risk everything.Every single thing that has ever happened in your life is preparing you for a moment that is yet to come.You will never become who you want to be if you keep blaming everyone else for who you are now.Sometimes people don’t notice the things others do for them until they stop doing them.Don’t listen to what people say, watch what they do.Love is not about sex, going on fancy dates, or showing off. It’s about being with a person who makes you happy in a way nobody else can.eing alone does not mean you are lonely, and being lonely does not mean you are alone. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don’t save it for a special occasion; today is special.Love and appreciate your parents. We are often so busy growing up, we forget they are also growing old Be happy. Be yourself. If others don’t like it, then let them be. Happiness is a choice. Life isn’t about pleasing everybody. If you expect the world to be fair with you because you are fair, you’re fooling yourself. That’s like expecting the lion not to eat you because you didn’t eat him. No matter how good or bad you have it, wake up each day thankful for your life. Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs. It’s better to know and be disappointed than to never know and always wonder. There are things that we don’t want to happen but have to accept, things we don’t want to know but have to learn, and people we can’t live without but have to let go. Learn to appreciate the things you have before time forces you appreciate the things you once had. Happiness is not determined by what’s happening around you, but rather what’s happening inside you. Most people depend on others to gain happiness, but the truth is, it always comes from within. You can’t start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading your last one.If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change the way you think about it. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Pirouette Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I've been wanting to share this! The Invitation By Oriah It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing. It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love for your dream for the adventure of being alive. It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your moon... I want to know if you have touched the centre of your own sorrow if you have been opened by life’s betrayals or have become shrivelled and closed from fear of further pain. I want to know if you can sit with pain mine or your own without moving to hide it or fade it or fix it. I want to know if you can be with joy mine or your own if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful to be realistic to remember the limitations of being human. It doesn’t interest me if the story you are telling me is true. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself. If you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul. If you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy. I want to know if you can see Beauty even when it is not pretty every day. And if you can source your own life from its presence. I want to know if you can live with failure yours and mine and still stand at the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, “Yes.” It doesn’t interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if you can get up after the night of grief and despair weary and bruised to the bone and do what needs to be done to feed the children. It doesn’t interest me who you know or how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the centre of the fire with me and not shrink back. It doesn’t interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away. I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
