"Making Contact"

I believe the greatest gift I conceive of having from anyone is to be seen by them, heard by them, to be understood and touched by them.

The greatest gift I can give is to see, hear, understand and to touch another person. When this is done I feel contact has been made.

~Virginia Satir

Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement.

Golda Meir

"I believe that you control your destiny, that you can be what you want to be. You can also stop and say, 'No, I won't do it, I won't behave his way anymore. I'm lonely and I need people around me, maybe I have to change my methods of behaving,' and then you do it."
~Leo F. Buscaglia

Bèsame* · 02-17-2013, 11:52 AM

Its better to look back on life and say: "I can't believe I did that." Than to look back and say :"I wish I did that."

Jean_TX · 02-17-2013, 11:57 AM

Do not live on the reflections of yourself in the eyes of others. Dare to be yourself.

MissItalianDiva · 02-17-2013, 12:01 PM

You have the power to reshape and redefine any experience, no matter how devastating it seems. Look at your experience, and ask "How can I use this for my own growth?"

~Iyanla Vanzant

Pausing is a good thing. Everything has to stop at some time in order to keep going. To stop, to rest, or to pause means to do nothing. It means no thinking! No moving! No decisions! What a blessing it is to have the ability to stop and gain strength before moving forward.

~~Iyanla Vanzant

"...See, this is my opinion: we all start out knowing magic. We are born with whirlwinds, forest fires, and comets inside us. We are born able to sing to birds and read the clouds and see our destiny in grains of sand. But then we get the magic educated right out of our souls. We get it churched out, spanked out, washed out, and combed out. We get put on the straight and narrow and told to be responsible. Told to act our age. Told to grow up, for God’s sake. And you know why we were told that? Because the people doing the telling were afraid of our wildness and youth, and because the magic we knew made them ashamed and sad of what they’d allowed to wither in themselves.

After you go so far away from it, though, you can’t really get it back. You can have seconds of it. Just seconds of knowing and remembering. When people get weepy at movies, it’s because in that dark theater the golden pool of magic is touched, just briefly. Then they come out into the hard sun of logic and reason again and it dries up, and they’re left feeling a little heartsad and not knowing why. When a song stirs a memory, when motes of dust turning in a shaft of light takes your attention from the world, when you listen to a train passing on a track at night in the distance and wonder where it might be going, you step beyond who you are and where you are. For the briefest of instants, you have stepped into the magic realm.

That’s what I believe.

[robert mccammon - boy's life]

1) If it rains on your parade,dance in it. 2) Keep a green tree in your heart and perhaps a signing bird will come. 3) Those who wish to sing always find a song 4) Where ever you go no matter the weather,always bring your own sunshine. 5) Life is like a camera. Just focus on whats important,capture the good times,develop from the negative and if things dont turn out just take another shot!
