"Character is never erected on a neglected conscience." - Author Unknown

MissItalianDiva · 12-05-2011, 08:16 PM

It can be challenging to forgive someone. The hardest person to forgive may be you. At times, it is hard to believe that you can forgive yourself; that you deserve to be forgiven or, that you are worthy of forgiveness. When you forgive yourself for believing you deserve to be punished, growth occurs, learning takes place and healing is the result. When you forgive yourself you release fear, eliminating the possibility that fear will continue to control your behavior.

~~Iyanla Vanzant

What is prosperity? A mental state. A functional attitude that draws to you an abundance of every great thing. How do you get prosperity? Expect it. Always ask for the highest and best; never doubt that it will come.

~~Iyanla Vanzant

I've found Today
I've shut the door on Yesterday,
Its sorrows and mistakes;
I've locked within its gloomy walls
Past Failures and heartaches.
And now I throw the key away
To see another room,
And furnish it with hope and smiles
And every springtime bloom.

No thought shall enter this abode
That has a hint of pain,
And worry, malice and distrust
Shall never therein reign.
I've shut the door on Yesterday
And thrown the key away ---
The Future holds no doubt for me,
Since I have found today.

JAGG · 12-06-2011, 08:17 PM

Forgiveness doesn't stop the pain.
Forgiveness doesn't erase a memory.
Forgiveness doesn't fade a scar.
Forgiveness doesn't heal a wound.
Forgiveness doesn't unbreak a heart.
Forgiveness doesn't repair what was destoyed.
Forgiveness doesn't answer any nagging questions.
Forgiveness doesn't ease the grieving or loss.
Forgiveness can't return what was taken.
Forgiveness simply removes anger from the equation.

When she shall die
Take her and cut her out in little stars
And she will make the face of heav'n so fine
That all the world will be in love with night
And pay no worship to the garish sun.

~William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet

"Give the world the best you have, and the best will come back to you." - Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Kätzchen · 12-07-2011, 10:11 AM

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms, and, if it proved to be mean, why then to get the whole and genuine meanness of it, and publish its meanness to the world; or if it were sublime, to know it by experience, and be able to give a true account of it in my next excursion.

~Henry David Thoreau, Walden.

Regardless what you may know, believe or have experienced in the name of love, loving you is an essential ingredient for experiencing and expressing love to others. Loving you means holding yourself with unconditional positive regard. It means giving yourself the time and space to make poor choices and bad decisions, knowing that you are learning and growing through it all. When you love on you, when you trust you, when you honor you, you set the standard for how others will love you. ~-Iyanla Vanzant
