it's true that we don't know what we've got until we lost it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives. anonymous

the brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can't go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches. unknown

we must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us. E.M. Forester

some think holding on makes then strong; but sometimes it is letting go that really does it. Heman Hesse

you gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. you are able to say to yourself 'i have lived through this horror. i can take the next thing that comes along.' you must do the thing you think you cannot do. Eleanor Roosevelt

Love yourself a little more every day, and your life will only get
better. There will be more of everything. Negatives will dissolve,
relationships will improve. What you believe about yourself and the life that you so desire will come true if you love yourself. Affirm who you are, and what you want from this life. Move forward and be profoundly liberated.
~Gigi Galluzzo

love love love this !

Your heart is your most precious gift; your heart is your truth, your compassion, your strength, and your beauty but most importantly your heart is love. Use these tools that are embedded within your heart to create the most beautiful life for yourself. When you dream make sure that you dream big and when you think make sure that you think big. You can see a box when you look at it with your eyes but you can look within and outside of a box when you see it with your heart. Life is about growth and change and you must accept and adapt to everything in life once you decide to grow and move forward. Do not ever feel sorry for yourself, do not make up excuses for yourself, and never take life for granted ~♥~ Lee Held

I was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together again and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as new. What is broken is broken -- and I'd rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken places as long as I lived.
Margaret Mitchell

'dont eat that. i dropped it on the ground a few minutes ago and i'm gonna eat it later when no one remembers.' - the 4 year old next door


'how can you be so unforgiving of yourself? you are a child of the Universe which made no mistakes when It made you, fully aware of all that you would and would not do in this lifetime. with that knowledge, you were given a life anyway. this is the strongest indicator that you are doing exactly what you were meant to do in order to learn what you needed to learn. do you not see that you were a choice? G*d made you by choice knowing all there is to know about you from the beginning until the end of time. if that Power which made you is not at all surprised at your flaws and imperfections, even at your worst, how can you not forgive yourself also? deny the wisdom of G*d all you like but It will never deny the wisdom of creating you.' Mullá Husayn

I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Bella Abzug
 

• They used to give us a day--it was called International Women's Day. In 1975 they gave us a year, the Year of the Woman. Then from 1975 to 1985 they gave us a decade, the Decade of the Woman. I said at the time, who knows, if we behave they may let us into the whole thing. Well, we didn't behave and here we are.

• Women have been trained to speak softly and carry a lipstick. Those days are over.

• I am not being facetious when I say that the real enemies in this country are the Pentagon and its pals in big business.

• The inside operation of Congress -- the deals, the compromises, the selling out, the co-opting, the unprincipled manipulating, the self-serving career-building -- is a story of such monumental decadence that I believe if people find out about it they will demand an end to it.

You've been a fighter from the start...Don't give up now. You're probably much closer than you think.
