No less than the trees and the stars, and you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore, be at peace with God, whatever you conceive him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace with your soul. As far as possible without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly, and listen to the dull and ignorant, they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself to others, you may become vain or bitter. For always there will be greater/lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements, as well as your plans. Keep interested in your career, however humble, it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Be yourself, especially do not fain affection, neither by cynical about love. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune, but do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle to yourself. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world..." "For what it's worth, it's never too late to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit. Start whenever you want. You can change or stay the same. There are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. I hope you see things that stop you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope that you are living a life that you're proud of and if you find that you're not...I hope you have the strength to start all over again." -The Curious Case of Benjamin Button When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry, show life that you have a thousand reasons to smile. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong... You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot build character and courage by ...Expand for more
taking away men's initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves." — Abraham Lincoln "If you need wisdom---if you want to know what God wants you to do---ask Him, and He will gladly tell you. He will not resent your asking." James 1:5 Don't tell God how big your problem is. Tell your problem how big God is!! The happiest of people do not necessarily have the best of everything, they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. "Catalog God's goodnesses. Meditate on them. He has fed you, led you, and earned your trust. Remember what God has done for you." - Max Lucado Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God "For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone. The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides." ~Audrey Hepburn "Procrastination. Just don't do it. It's the gateway drug. ...To a FAILED LIFE! Procrastination....." ~Sung by Logan Light, Impact '09 A friend is someone who listens to what you don't say! "We come to love not by finding a perfect person but, by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly." “The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease.” Lamentations 3:22 "Action speaks louder than words but not nearly as often." - Mark Twain "Don't ever discount the wonder of your tears. They can be healing waters and a stream of joy. Sometimes they are the best words the heart can speak." -The Shack ~Life is not measured by the breaths you take, but by its breathtaking moments ~ "Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself." - Leo Tolstoy Fill us with the knowledge of Your will, through wisdom and understanding. May we live our lives worthy of You and please You in every way. Bearing fruit in every good work, growing in knowledge, the knowledge of God. Strengthened with all power according to Your might. For endurance, for patience, joyfully giving thanks to You. Amen. – Colossians 1:9-12 C'est la vie".
