One of Jeanette's favorite quotes is:"* Learn the difference of helping vs. paralyzing. Never do for someone else what they won't do for themselves.
* People say you don’t know what you’ve got till its gone. Truth is, you knew what you had, you just never thought you’d lose it.
* I've had a hard life, but my hardships are nothing against the hardships that my parents went through in order to get me to where I started.
* Four Lessons on Life 1. Never take down a fence until you know why it was put up. 2. If you get too far ahead of the army, your soldiers may mistake you for the enemy. 3. Don’t complain about the bottom rungs of the ladder; they helped to get you higher. 4. If you want to enjoy the rainbow, be prepared to endure the storm.
* Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.
* In every crisis there is a message. Crises are nature's way of forcing change — breaking down old structures, shaking loose negative habits so that something new and better can take their place.
* Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect. It means you have decided to look beyond the imperfections.
* If you have everything under control, you're not moving fast enough
* When you are looking at characteristics on how to build your personal life, 1st comes integrity, 2nd motivation, 3rd capacity, 4th understanding, 5th knowledge, and last and least experience. Without integrity, motivation is dangerous. Without motivation, capacity is impotent. Without capacity, understanding is limited. Without understanding, knowledge is meaningless. Without knowledge, experience is blind. Experience is easy to provide and quickly put to good use by people with all other qualities. Make absolute integrity the compass that guides you in everything you do and surround yourself only with people of flawless integrity.
* Trust is not something that can be granted, only earned. Conversely, trust is something that cannot be taken away, only lost.
* Forgiveness is free. Trust is earned.
* Never take a person for granted, hold them close to your heart, cause you might...Expand for more
wake up one day and realize that you’ve lost a diamond while you were too busy looking for stones.
* Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.
* Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behaviors. Keep your behaviors positive because your behaviors become your habits. Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny
* A bend in the road is not the end of the road... unless you fail to make the turn.
* When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow--
You may succeed with another blow,
Success is failure turned inside out--
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit--
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.
* What would you do if you weren't afraid?
* What you see depends on what you are looking for
* Joy is the best makeup, every woman should try it! :)
*There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations. Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled. If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money can't buy. 'Today is a gift, that is why it is called The Present.'
*The worst shot is the one not taken.
*Talent is God-Given: Be Humble.
Fame is Man-Given: Be Thankful.
Conceit is Self-Given: Be Careful.
*People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.
*To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children...to leave the world a better place...to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.
* So often it happens that we live our lives in chains, and we never even know that we have the key".
