“This life is what you make it. No matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And baby, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up because if you give up, you'll never find your soulmate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.”
― Marilyn Monroe |
"The two important things I did learn were that you are as powerful and strong as you allow yourself to be, and that the most difficult part of any endeavour is taking the first step, making the first decision."
~Robyn Davidson "Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable." ~Bruce Lee |

The Roses of Saadi - Marceline Desbordes-Valmore
The Roses of Saadi I wanted you to have roses this morn, And stuffed a lot of them in my snug dress, In my tight belt I could not all shoehorn. The knots gave way, and threw them all around, To wind and sea they were all gone forlorn To flow with water, never will come round. The waves were crimson red as if on fire. This eve my dress is drenched in their fragrance, Breathe it and keep it to your heart's desire. ~Marceline Desbordes-Valmore |
"Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all."
Aristotle |

"There are two ways to slide easily through life: to believe everything or to doubt everything. Both ways save us from thinking."
~Alfred Korzybski "We have to dare to be ourselves, however frightening or strange that self may prove to be." ~May Sarton |
“You ask me what forces me to speak? a strange thing; my conscience.”
― Victor Hugo, Les Misérables |
“Let us say in passing, to be blind and to be loved,
is in fact--on this earth where nothing is complete--one of the most strangely exquisite forms of happiness. To have continually at your side a woman, a girl, a sister, a charming being, who is there because you need her, and because she cannot do without you, to know you are indispensable to someone necessary to you, to be able at all times to measure her affection by the degree of the presence that she gives you, and to say to yourself: She dedicates all her time to me, because I possess her whole love; to see the thought if not the face; to be sure of the fidelity of one being in a total eclipse of the world; to imagine the rustling of her dress as the rustling of wings; to hear her moving to and fro, going out, coming in, talking, singing, to think that you are the cause of those steps, those words, that song; to show your personal attraction at every moment; to feel even more powerful as your infirmity increases; to become in darkness, and by reason of darkness, the star around which this angel gravitates; few joys can equal that. The supreme happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved; loved for ourselves--say rather, loved in spite of ourselves; the conviction the blind have. In their calamity, to be served is to be caressed. Are they deprived of anything? No. Light is not lost where love enters. And what a love! A love wholly founded in purity. There is no blindness where there is certainty.” ― Victor Hugo, Les Misérables |
“Love has no middle term; either it destroys, or it saves.
All human destiny is this dilemma. This dilemma, destruction or salvation, no fate proposes more inexorably than love. Love is life, if it is not death. Cradle; coffin, too. The same sentiment says yes and no in the human heart. Of all the things God has made, the human heart is the one that sheds most light, and alas! most night.” ― Victor Hugo, Les Miserables |

Very often we place demands on the universe to provide us with the things we want by saying that we need them. There is absolutely nothing wrong with having a want. However, when it is not satisfied, you must not be fooled into believing that the universe does not support you.
~~Iyanla Vanzant |
“True forgiveness is when you can say, "Thank you for that experience.”
― Oprah Winfrey “But we can't go back. We can only go forward.” ― Libba Bray "When you hold resentment toward another, you are bound to that person or condition by an emotional link that is stronger than steel. Forgiveness is the only way to dissolve that link and get free." - Katherine Ponder "To forgive is the highest, most beautiful form of love. In return, you will receive untold peace and happiness." - Robert Muller |

"Courage is not the absence of fear but the judgment that something else is more important than fear. The brave may not live forever but the cautious do not live at all. For now you are traveling the road between who you think you are and who you can be."
~Meg Cabot |
"Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional." ~ Haruki Murakami
|
Sleep is the best meditation.--Dalai Lama

" Stubborn and hardheaded people tend to be the least fearful. Because they will refuse to be scared at the will of another." Unknown
"Fear defeats life if you avoid what you fear. Your avoidings become your darkness they are your limitations. If you live inside your limitations you lead a small boring limited life. Wasting away in your limitations, pathetically rotting on the vine." Unknown “He who has overcome his fears will truly be free.” ― Aristotle |
You know what charm is; a way of getting of getting the answer yes without having asked any clear question.
There is a place you can touch a woman that will drive her crazy. Her heart. |
“Self-acceptance comes from meeting life's challenges vigorously.
Don't numb yourself to your trials and difficulties, nor build mental walls to exclude pain from your life. You will find peace not by trying to escape your problems, but by confronting them courageously. You will find peace not in denial, but in victory.” Swami Sivananda (1887-1963); Spiritual Leader, Author, Physician |

"Love is not a feeling. Love is an action, an activity...Genuine love implies commitment and the exercise of wisdom.... love as the will to extend oneself for the purpose of nurturing one's own or another's spiritual growth.....true love is an act of will that often transcends ephemeral feelings of love or cathexis, it is correct to say, 'Love is as love does'."
~M. Scott Peck "So many of our DREAMS at first seem Impossible, then they seem Improbable, and then when we Summon the Will, they soon become Inevitable." ~Christopher Reeve |
Do you go the extra mile? Do you do more than is expected? Or do you do just enough to get by? Going the extra mile means taking what you have and looking for ways to expand it - you believe in your ability to make it happen. It means moving beyond limiting beliefs, restrictive behaviors and being willing to have more that you do right now.
~Iyanla Vanzant |
I'd rather have a life of 'Oh well's' than a life of What if's.'

"Someone told me once that every time when I was growing up and my needs weren't met, it's like a ghost of me at that age was created.
So if I was 6 years old and a parent was emotionally unavailable or something like that, and I so needed that validation and that need wasn't met, immediately a ghost of that 6 year old was created and it follows me around for the rest of my life. I then continually perpetuate that by rejecting my feelings when I think I need some emotional support. I'm like, "no, no, no - I shouldn't be needing emotional support." And that 6 year old is triggered all over again and that ghost is still there. And someone told me I could just accept it - that I didn't have to act on it, I could just accept it. I could just say to myself, "I know you're scared, you need emotional support. I've got your back." - The Recovery Show podcast |
