trippi1432 Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 I know we see so much negativity on this board, people are hurting, in pain, confusion, angry...etc. We have a songs thread that can be both positive or sad..a poems thread....etc. I want to do an affirmation thread, something similar to a signature thread.....a positive saying that strikes your fancy. I've been working on an affirmation wall in my bedroom and would like to know of anything else positive or thoughtful that has helped others get by in a time of need. After my weekend, one that has humbled me, "I cried because I had no shoes until I saw a man who had no feet." ~ Author Unknown And this one as well, "When you stop comparing what is right here and now with what you wish were, you can begin to enjoy what is." ~ Cheri Huber Come on - good enough, I will put them on my wall...nothing hateful, envious or ugly....this is for positive thoughts for each other. Somewhere out there, compassion still lies in the heart (no matter how broken it seems).
laRubiaBonita Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection. ~Buddha

Tony T Posted June 1, 2010 Posted June 1, 2010 A few of my favorite quotes: "A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving." - Lao Tsu "We shall not cease from exploration and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time." - T. S. Eliot - Little Gidding, from Four Quartets "I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good, therefore, that I can do or any kindness I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it for I shall not pass this way again." - Etienne de Grellet "It is tempting, if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as if it were a nail." - Abraham Maslow
