Oh my, yes!

I know that I've been posting
a lot of quotes as of late.
I do apologize.
I will return to my normal rantings soon.
But, for today ...
chew on this one.
I believe we all need to hear this,
and work on it,
repeatedly!!!

You are far too strong
to be the only thing
standing in your way.

(drop the mic)

Mae the force be with you

Miss Mae West offered this up for us:

You only live once;
but if you do it right,
once is enough.

Good stuff to hear.
Great stuff to do.

A little of this
and a little of that.
Hope you enjoy.

Always hang on tightly
to your sense of humor and your patience;
remember that beautiful things
have dents and scratches, too;
search for moments of peace and beauty
amidst the chaos;
be grateful for every blessing
that has been given to you;
be sure that your compassion is deep enough
to include yourself;
remember how very talented and
courageous you are
and that you already have within you
whatever it takes to deal with what's around you;
and that you are worthy of your own love.

Great Word

Have seen this several times
over the last few weeks.
That usually means
that someone out there needs to see it.
So ...

Do not despair.
Do not fret.
Everything is
figureoutable!!!

You can handle
whatever life dishes up.
You are extraordinary.
You are amazing.
You are brilliant.
You are extrilliazing!!!

Leftovers

We've undoubtedly all suffered loss.
We've hobbled through hurt.
We've bawled through betrayal.
Schuller best put it when he said:

Never look at what you have lost.
Always look at what you have left.

The things and the people you have lost,
may have made remarkable impacts on you,
on your life, on your psyche, on your soul.
The pain of loss is unbearable, but those impacts are leftovers.
Savor them. Cherish them. Live them.
The hurt you have suffered is crippling,
but you've emerged from it.
You are a different person learning to be;
stronger, wiser, bolder, braver.
That hurt was unbearable, but those lessons are leftovers.
Savor them. Cherish them. Live them.
The betrayal cut you to the bone,
but you realized your value and your worth;
your integrity and morals; your boundaries and your expectations.
The backstabbing was brutal, but those scars carry in them
your resilience, tenacity and fortitude and are your leftovers.
Savor them. Cherish them. Live them.

Never look at what you have lost.
Always look at what you have left.

Real Power

Respect.
Respect your efforts.
Respect your self.
When you have both firmly under your belt,
that's real power.

~ Clint Eastwood

The more I read it ...

It would seem that
the more I read this quote
by Lucius Annaeus Seneca
the more I like it.
Hope you do too.
And here's hoping
that you find happiness
within you.

True happiness is to enjoy the present,
without anxious dependence on the future,
not to amuse ourselves with either hopes or fears
but to rest satisfied with what we have,
which is sufficient,
for he that is so wants nothing.
The greatest blessings of mankind
are within us and within our reach.
A wise man is content with his lot,
whatever it may be,
without wishing for what he has not.

See?  Told ya!
Enjoy your day.
