"The best way is not to fight it, just go. Don't be trying all the time to fix things. What you run from only stays with you longer. When you fight something, you only make it stronger."
~ Chuck Palahniuk

 From the backstabbing co-worker to the meddling sister-in-law, you are in charge of how you react to the people and events in your life. You can either give negativity power over your life or you can choose happiness instead. Take control and choose to focus on what is important in your life. Those who cannot live fully often become destroyers of life."
~ Anaïs Nin

"If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together. . . there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart . . . I'll always be with you."
~ A.A. Milne ~ Christopher Robin to Pooh

Do you have Grit? ~ Your inner loveliness does not need to be bullied or demeaned any longer. Hush those voices that tell you it’s too late, that you’re not good, strong, talented, pretty, thin, out-going, young or old enough. Shut them down. Give them the finger. Do whatever you’ve got to do, but don’t let them dominate the air waves any longer. Tell them in no uncertain terms that they are no longer needed. Let grit be your new song!

Favorite Quotes

It is no secret that I LOVE quotes. It would be really hard for me to pick one or two favorites . . . because there are so many that I really like.  So here are a few of my favorites.

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.  ~ Anais Nin

Do or do not . . .there is no try. ~ Yoda

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial  into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision of tomorrow. ~ Melody Beattie

The miracle is not to walk on water. The miracle is to walk on the green earth in the present moment, to appreciate the peace and beauty that are available now. ~Thich Nhat Hanh

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. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

When you realize there is nothing lacking the whole world belongs to you. ~ Lao Tzu

 

Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Appreciate your friends. Continue to learn. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is. ~ Mary Anne Radmacher

Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little at least we didn't get sick and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so let us be thankful. ~ Buddha

I could probably fill pages and pages with quotes that I LOVE. More for another post.
