Sometimes we are limited more by attitude than by opportunities.
It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent. It is the one that is most adaptable to change.
Take charge of your attitude; don't let someone else choose it for you.
No action, no change. Limited action, limited changes. Lots of action, change occurs.
Greatness comes with recognizing that your potential is limited only by how you choose, how you use your freedom, how resolute you are, how persistent you are, in short, by your attitude. –Peter Koestenbaum
Seems there was a dog named Fido who heard about a certain building which held 1,000 mirrors.
Not knowing what a mirror was, Fido was very excited to go see this place as he was intrigued by the thought of 1,000 mirrors.
He went the next day and entered the building. Because he was so happy to be there and so excited about seeing the mirrors,
when he entered the room, all he saw was 1,000 smiling, beaming, happy dogs looking back at him. He was thrilled.
He could hardly wait to tell his friend, Bruno. Bruno seemed grumpy all the time and Fido knew this would be something that
would cheer him up. Old Bruno, grumpy as usual, didn't want to go, but finally gave in. He visited the building with 1,000 mirrors
and stepped inside. He left unimpressed and a little angry. When Fido saw him coming he excitedly ask, “So, what did you think??”
Bruno said, “I wasted my time going there...all I saw was a bunch of ugly, grumpy looking dogs looking back at me. I could hardly wait
to get out of there!!” So, you see, the moral of the story is, LIFE may be good or bad...it all depends on how you look at things.
Life is what you make it...Make it great!! (thank you, Alice, for sharing this story)
Love and happiness are like sticky peanut butter. When you spread them around, you can't help but end up getting some on yourself!
Of all the things you wear, your expression is the most important.
Friends are the little prize in the cereal box of life.
Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you.
It's not yesterday's regrets, nor tomorrow's challenges that matter--only the infinite possibility of today.
Don't be afraid of the space between your dreams and reality. If you can dream it, you can make it so.
You are the person you are today because of the choices you made yesterday. You may become the person you would like to be by the choices you make today.
As a friend I cannot heal or change a painful situation but I can listen with ears that open into my heart.
You don't need permission to be good to yourself.
Pity the people who have no opinion, for they shall go through life without a bumper sticker.
Success is 10% Inspiration and 90% perspiration.
Yesterday is History, Tomorrow is a Mystery, Today is a gift (from God) and that is why we call it the Present.
Sometimes simple, everyday things can loom so large that you feel caught up in a maze with no exit. In times like these remember: God is Able
The only person who can keep us from becoming thin is ourselves. We cannot become thin just by planning on it...or just by believing what we have learned or by what we know.
We can become thin by putting our knowledge into action.
Satisfaction is the results of one's own character.
Set small goals. Then, when you reach that one, set another one. Change only one behavior at a time. Start drinking water. Once you start drinking 8 glasses a day, choose another habit to change. Smaller changes add up. Losing one pound a month means 12 pounds at the end of the year. -Tops News
Faith makes things possible, it doesn't make them easier.
From the Tops News...Walking at a brisk pace gives the impression that you know where you are going so sales people are not apt to stop you.
If you indulge in an eating lapse, don't try to make up for it by starving yourself afterward.
That only sets up a binge-and-starve pattern. Remember, you're in this for the long haul, so gently steer
yourself back to sensible habits and don't overreact over one mistake
The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing that you will make one.
You are bound to cook up nothing but trouble when you stew about tomorrow.
We cannot become what we need to be by remaining what we are. -Max DePree
Whatever you can do or dream you can begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now. –Goethe
We should consider every day lost, on which we have not danced at least once.
The best way to succeed in this world is to act on the advice you give to others.
There are two different types of people. Those who can't do anything unless they are told what to do, and those who are told what to do and still can't do it.
People can be divided into 3 groups. Those who make things happen, those who merely watch things happen, and those who wonder what the heck happened.
Kindness is the golden chain by which the world is bound together
It’s better to look ahead and prepare than to look back and regret.
The secret of happy living is not to do what you like, but to like what you do.
A house without books is like a room without windows.
If you find yourself in hot water-take a bath.
Just as Native Americans share the pipe of peace, by sharing something of your own; a flower, a cookie,
a handwritten note, a greeting card, your act builds a positive, peaceful atmosphere.
Happiness is not the absence of conflict, but the ability to cope with it.
Take the time to be grateful for all the things around you, both large and small, and the beauty of life will be yours.
Worry is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do but it doesn't get you anywhere.
Somebody said that it couldn't be done. But he with a chuckle replied, “That “maybe it couldn't” but he would be one, who wouldn't say so 'til he tried.
Good habits are the soul's muscles. The more you use them, the stronger they grow.
Worry pulls tomorrows clouds over today's sunshine.
Work hard to get what you want. Take time to enjoy it!
The hardest challenges result in the greatest rewards.
Every problem contains within itself the seeds of its own solution.
Habit is like a soft bed, easy to get into but very hard to get out of.
No man is free who cannot control himself. –Pythagoras
Hold fast your dreams within your heart, whatever might befall. Let others laugh, if laugh they will, but keep your dream through all. Tis happiness you cherish there, within that treasured thought, And all the joy a life can bring, that precious dream has brought. Hold fast your faith and keep it still, don't falter on the way, Because another might have failed, still seek the rightful way.
Although it seems a foolish dream, within a why or where. Because it was born within your heart, do hold and keep it there.
Hold fast your hope in bigger things, and bright days ahead, As long as you have faith and trust, a dream cannot be dead.
Hold fast that lobe and wondrous smile, however small they seem, For life will mean so much more, if you hold on to your dream. -From the Tops News
Faith makes things possible, it doesn't make them easier.
God can mend a broken heart but first you have to give Him ALL the pieces.
Lovely complicated wrappings, sheath the gift of one day more; Breathless, I untie the package-Never lived this day before!! -Gloria Gaither
