The way to happiness – keep your heart free from hate, your mind free from worry, live simply, expect little, give much. - Carol Borges

Trev · 03-28-2013, 06:57 PM

“People tend to think that happiness is a stroke of luck, something that will descend like fine weather if you're fortunate. But happiness is the result of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly.”
~ Elizabeth Gilbert

"Everything happens for a reason. Have hope you say , believe , faith can move mountians. Good things come to those who wait. Well good things come to those who don't wait too! And I am tired of waiting, I'm tired of hoping. When is it my turn? When ? " -Vera Wood Files

“[She] was a remarkable looking woman. Remarkable in that she wasn’t what most people would call beautiful. But she oozed a raw femaleness that I was certain made most women uncomfortable and sent men walking into walls. And when she smiled. Well. That was magic."― Beth Hoffman

“The wisest are the most annoyed at the loss of time.”― Dante Alighieri

"In many shamanic societies, if you came to a medicine person complaining of being disheartened, dispirited, or depressed, they would ask one of four questions: When did you stop dancing? When did you stop singing? When did you stop being enchanted by stories? When did you stop finding comfort in the sweet territory of silence?" - Gabrielle Roth

"In terms of dating, not too many of [my past boyfriends] could deal with the fact that I can't answer my phone all the time because I'm at work and I have other things to do. They're on the priority list, but they're not at the top - I noticed that in a lot of my relationships it didn't work out because I had a lot of other things to do."
— Marissa Coleman

"The word 'happiness' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness."
~Carl Gustav Jung

"If being sane is thinking there's something wrong with being different....I'd rather be completely fucking mental."
~Angelina Jolie

Miss Scarlett · 03-29-2013, 07:17 AM

"If a problem is fixable, if a situation is such that you can do something about it, then there is no need to worry. If it's not fixable, then there is no help in worrying."

"The way to overcome negative thoughts and destructive emotions is to develop opposing, positive emotions that are stronger and more powerful. This takes more than prayer or wishing. It requires deep analysis into the cause of harsh feelings like hatred and a conscious effort to shift one's perspective."

MissItalianDiva · 03-29-2013, 08:33 AM

Instead of running from what you "don't want" walk with commitment toward what you desire. Focus on where you are going rather than being obsessed with where you have been. The difference between the two is energy.

~Iyanla Vanzant

"Life ought to be a struggle of desire toward adventures whose nobility will fertilize the soul."

(Poem is in Response to Dante's Inferno, if you haven't read it or don't know the reference the 7th circle, 3rd ring includes homosexuals)

To the Men and Women in the 3rd Ring of the 7th Circle of Hell
By Jennie Smith

Fire so hot it's blue falls in teardrops
from a cavern above your heads.
Can I say I understand
why you walk naked beneath
dripping flames for this—
for the one whose hand holds yours
despite screaming nerves, flaking skin.
A single drop falls on your reddened cheek
and a tear hidden there hisses.

Don't look at me with your sallow eyes
lest I see myself in your face.
See your naked thighs and belly
black and red, bone and sinew
my flesh turned to mirrors.

Will I burn like you for holding my lover's hand
and kissing the nape of her neck?
Maybe my God loves me more than yours did,
but when I sleep and let Fear near my bed
he strokes my hair with a clawed hand
and cries blue fire on my breasts.

Katniss~~
