Favorite saying

• "Promise yourself- to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. To talk health, happiness and prosperity to EVERY person you meet. To make ALL your friends feel that there is something in them. To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best. To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own successes. =) To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile. To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to critisize others. To be too large for worry, to noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble. "Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage." -Anais Nin "If you judge people, you have no time to love them." - Mother Teresa "Words are mere bubbles of water, but deeds are drops of gold." - Chinese Proverb "We tire of those pleasures we take, but never of those we give." John Petit - Senn "Success means we go to sleep at night knowing that our talents and abilities were used in a way that served others." - Marianne Williamson "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit." - Aristotle Remember what matters most. Happiness and love are just a choice away. Be one of the people in this world who make a difference!

Imagination encircles the world. (Einstein) --It is better to spend one day concentrating than 100 years distracted. (Buddha) --Do not let success get into your head or failure into your heart. (unknown) --When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hold on another minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn. (Harriet Beecher Stowe) --Look back to where you have been as a clue to where you are going. --REALIZE, true happiness lies within YOU! Waste no time and effort searching for inner peace and contentment and joy in the world outside. Remember that there isno happiness in having or in getting, but, only in giving. REACH OUT! SHARE, SMILE, HUG! Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself. (Og Mandino) --WHether we are in a gutter or in a mansion....we can all still see the stars. --Life is about who you love and who you hurt; who you make happy or unhappy purposely; keeping or betraying trust; friendship used as a sanctity or as a weapon; what you say and mean, maybe hurtful, maybe heartening; about starting rumors and contributing to petty gossip; about what judgements you pass and why;, and who your judgements are spread to; about who you ignore with full control or intention; jealousy, fear, ignorance, revenge; carrying inner hate and love, letting it grow and spreading it; most of all, it's about using your life to touch or poison other people's hearts in such a way that could never have occured alone. Only YOU choose the way those hearts are affected, and those choices are what life is all about!"
