If you pick up a starving dog and make her prosperous, she will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a woman.


The Grand essentials for Happiness:
Something to do
Something to love
and Something to hope for.



Yesterday is a canceled check,
Tomorrow is a promissory note,
Today is the only cash we have,
so spend it wisely.



Plant a tree on your birthday

Take time to smell the roses, the forests, the outdoors.


Judge yourself by the degree that you are enjoying
Peace, Love, and Health



When you find a job that is ideal, take it regardless of the pay.
It will pay for itself in happiness.


You see things that are, and say "why ?"
I dream things that never were and say "why not ?"


You will never get a second chance to make a first impression.



To teach, is to learn again.


Success is getting what you want,
Happiness is liking what you get.

Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go.



Behold the turtle, he makes progress only when he sticks his neck out.


No legacy is so rich as honesty.


When life knocks you to your knees, you are in a great position to pray.


Let the past, stay in the past.

You can never go back to a particular time in life,
all you can do is look through the window, at the memories of your mind.


Life is a process of changes


When in doubt, check it out

Let God recycle your trash into treasure


Desire is the ingredient that makes the difference between
an average performer and a champion.


Progress always involves risk;
you can't steal second base and keep your foot on first.


RULE OF SUCCESS:
Trust only those who stand to lose as much as you when things go wrong.

Failure is the opportunity to begin again, more intelligently.

The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra.

Destiny is not a matter of chance,
It's a matter of choices.

Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort.

Words and Meanings:
Did is a word of achievement
Won't is a word of retreat
Might is a word of bereavement
Can't is a word of defeat
Ought is a word of duty
Try is a word each hour
Will is a word of beauty
Can is a word of power
If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say,
here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.

People with goals succeed, because they know where they're going.
If your motive is profit, then you may go broke, But
if your motive is service, you will probably make a profit.

One trouble with trouble, is that it usually starts out like fun.

Average but works hard, beats brilliant but lazy.

We are continually faced by great opportunities
brilliantly disguised as insolvable problems.

Hard work is the yeast that raises the dough.

Regardless of your past, your future is a clean slate.

God gave me two ears and one mouth...
so I could listen twice as much as I talk.


The way to Happiness:
Keep your heart free from hate, your mind free from worry,
live simply, expect little, give much.


We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.


Common sense is the knack of seeing things as they are,
and doing things as they ought to be done.

The gem cannot be polished without friction
nor man perfected without trials.

When we have done our best, we should wait the result in peace.

Self Esteem & Escaping dark times.
Being able to say "I can"
& Looking toward the Light.


I can choose how to behave, even when frustrated, angry or afraid.

I can refuse to participate in self destructive behavior
I can search for solutions
I can ask for help
I can learn how
I will not under-estimate my abilities
and what I am capable of accomplishing and achieving
Build your life; moment by moment, day by day, idea by idea.
I can accept responsibility for my life, rather than blaming others.
I can learn from my mistakes
Not doing something because I don't know how,
just may be an excuse that keeps me from being competent and learning.
I am faced with four choices:
1. Do it and enjoy it
2. Do it and don't enjoy it.
3. Don't do it and enjoy not doing it.
4. Don't do it and don't enjoy not doing it.
* I can choose that which I enjoy. *
Challenges can be stepping stones or stumbling blocks;
just a matter of how you view them.
Never give up on what you really want
Purpose; is what gives our life meaning.
Live your life for you.
Not for someone else
Nor for what they wish they could have done in their life.

Keep in mind what others say & do,
then make up your own mind.

No one can make you feel inferior without your permission.

Choose not to participate or become intimidated by
peer pressure.

Find the will to keep going

I must do the most productive thing possible at any given moment.

If I find myself being Self destructive, I WILL STOP.

Inspirations


As we grow older and wiser, we talk less and say more.

As we age, we learn riches are mental, not material.

We grow old as soon as we cease to Love, Trust and Play.

The longer we live, the more we learn:
It is not who has the most,
but it is who makes the most of what he has.

Growing old wisely means
making more opportunities than we find.

A man is not old until...
regrets take the place of dreams.

It is up to us whether age brings wisdom
or age comes alone.

Young at heart, slightly older in other places.

Age is a matter of mind:
if you don't mind, it doesn't matter.

Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty,
never grows old.

Retire not from something, but to something.

As we grow older, we learn that the wisest man is usually
he who thinks himself the least so.

We do not stop playing because we are old;
we grow old because we stop playing.

We neither get better nor worse as we get older,
but more like ourselves.

Peace is when time doesn't matter as it passes by.

Years teach us that knowledge becomes wisdom,
only after it has been put to practical use.

Hardening of the heart ages people more quickly
than hardening of the arteries.

Old enough to know your limits,
Young enough to exceed them.

When an old person dies, a library is lost

of Friendship & Love


Don't walk in front of me... I may not follow.
Don't walk behind me... I may not lead.
Walk beside me and just be my friend.

If you love something set it free,
if it comes back to you, it's yours,
if not, it never was.

We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world,
and the best that we find in our travels is an honest friend.

The best and most beautiful things
in the world cannot be seen, nor touched...
but are felt in the heart.

Kindness in words creates confidence,
kindness in thinking creates profoundness,
kindness in giving creates love.

You can give without loving,
but you can NEVER love without giving.

Appreciation is the heart's memory

Wherever you are,
it is your own friends who make your world.

There is a special kind of freedom friends enjoy:
Freedom to share innermost thoughts.
Freedom to ask for a favor.
Freedom to show their true feelings.
Freedom to simply be themselves.

The making of friends, who are REAL FRIENDS,
is the best token we have of a person's success in life

Friendship must dare to risk, or it is not friendship

When you love someone,
it's kinda hard to quit just cause you auta.

Men always want to be a woman's first love.
Women have more subtle instinct;
what they want, is to be a man's last romance.

The best way to appreciate a loved one,
is to imagine your life without them.

Send your loved ones flowers, think of a reason later

When it comes to friends:
The needs of the one out weigh the needs of the many.

When you have a close friend, you have everything.

Surprise loved ones with little un-expected gifts

Be romantic

Give people a second chance,
But NOT A THIRD.

It is one of the most beautiful compesations of this life that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.

The only differance between an ex-boyfriend and a perspective one, is the perspective one doesn't know what the ex boyfriend does.

You will find as you look back upon your life
that the moments when you have really lived,
are the moments when you have done things
in the spirit of love.

Man's mind, once stretched by a new idea,
never regains its original dimensions.

A single conversation across the table with a wise man
is worth a month's study of books.

..The past cannot be changed, but the future is whatever you want it to be.

God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the Courage to change the things I can,
and the Wisdom to know the difference.

Do the thing you have to do, when you have to do it...
whether you feel like it or not.

TAKE TIME:
to work, it's the price of success.
to think, it's the source of power.
to play, it's the secret of perpetual youth.
to be friendly, it's the road to happiness.
to Love and be loved, it's a privilege of the gods.
to share, life is too short to be selfish.
to laugh, laughter is the music of the soul.

There are those who pass like ships in the night.
Who meet for a moment,
then sail out of sight with never a backwards glance of regret;
folks we know briefly then quickly forget.
Then there are friends who sail together through quiet waters and stormy weather helping each other through joy and through strife.
And they are the kind who give meaning to life.

You see Problems, I see challenges and possibilities

Happy are those who dream dreams
and are ready to pay the price to make them come true.

Choose a job you love,
and you will never have to work a day in your life.

"I tried, but it didn't work,"
is a lot better than "I wish I'd tried."

Murphy's Law:
If anything can go wrong it will.

Heinsight:
If you had of known then,
what you know now.

Example is not the main thing in influencing others;
it is the only thing.

Live your life each day as you would climb a mountain.
An occasional glance toward the summit keeps the goal in mind, but many beautiful scenes are to be observed from each new vantage point. Climb slowly, steadily, enjoying each passing moment, and the view from the summit will serve as a fitting climax for the journey.

Success is a journey, not a destination.

The end result is not as important as how you got there.

Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered,
you will never grow.

The highest reward for a person's toil
is not what they get for it, but what they become by it.

A man is only as young as the woman he feels

Friendship must dare to risk, or it is not friendship

Know your enemy, and know yourself.
You will always be victorious

Face Life & fate with composure

Fear is the true enemy, the only enemy

The things that come to those who wait
are what is left behind by those who don't.

Strive to be a person worth knowing

Be a person not easily satisfied by the ordinary

Being provoked, challenges us and promotes thought.
It very often makes us uncomfortable,
but does us a service, because it results in change.

Work is important, but, I can play.

Be who you are without embarrassment or apology.

Why be normal ?
Dare to be different.

Don't put off fun until later,
what if that time never came ?

Happiness is a bi-product of life

A fool will lose tomorrow, looking back for yesterday.

Only those who attempt the absurd, achieve the impossible.

NEVER compromise your integrity

Take care of your reputation,
it's your most valuable asset

Be open to new ideas & experiences.
Open your mind to trying anything, at least once.

When it comes to friends:
The needs of the one out weigh the needs of the many.

Never give up on what you really want

When you see something you really like, go after it.
The chance may never come again
