Do you have a saying or something that someone told you that has stayed with you all of your life? We all get bits of advice from all areas, but there is always one that sticks out. Mine was given to me by a woman who was my boss many years ago....."You don't know what you can do until you have to".

Nobody is perfect...So decide which flaws you can live with and which ones you can't.

Freedom is found in forgivenss....

Change your thoughts change your world....

Love yourself its the only guarantee there is.....

The only courage you need is the courage to live the life of your dreams....

Forgiveness? Letting go of the hope the past could have been different...

Cultivating a close, warm-hearted feeling towards others automatically puts the mind at ease. It is the ultimate source of success in life.

Never expect rational actions from an irrational person.

Remember that common sense is not all that common.

Keep working. No matter what has happened, choices you have made, just keep at it. Keep working. Things will work out.

He meant "working" as in a job, but I see it as working at EVERYTHING. Job, yourself, for family, friends, LIFE.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh yes - my mother taught me the silent treatment so well and it's much more effective than screaming or arguing. Thanks for the reminder.....

The following was written by the playwright, William Saroyan:

"In the time of your life…live. Seek goodness everywhere and when it is found, bring it out of its hiding place and let it be free and unashamed. Discover in all things that which shines and is beyond corruption. Be the inferior of no man, or of any men be superior, remember that every man is a variation of yourself. In the time of your life, live so that in that wondrous time you shall not add to the misery and sorrow of the world, but shall smile to the infinite delight and mystery of it."

When I am an off day, I like to read these words and always feel better after doing so.

High school teaches you how to survive.

College teaches how to make a living.

Anything beyond that (Masters or PhD) will teach you how to be successful.

Now, go and DO what you have learned. It's not enough to merely know things.

My mom once said to not worry about what other people are thinking about you, because you'll probably find out later they weren't even thinking about you~
then, my dad added to that, the Army man coming out in him: you'll find out later that they weren't even thinking, period.

I have swell folks!
