Words of Inspiration

I think a thread of inspiring words can be positive fuel for all of us. My hope is that we can take one quote or phrase with us throughout the day, and apply it where it can be applied. Here is one for today:

[font=Comic Sans MS]
Keep your thoughts positive, because your thoughts become your words
Keep your words positive, because your words become your behavior
Keep your behavior positive, because your behavior becomes your habits
Keep your habits positive, because your habits become your values
Keep your values positive, because your values become your destiny
-Mahatma Gandhi[/font]

That's powerful, Aitan. Thank you!
I'll keep this thread in mind for a contribution at some point.
I like your idea of a "Daily".
Very inspirational.
And we all need that.

Thought for the day: Monday, October 27

Courage does not always roar.
Sometimes it is in the quiet voice at the end of the day saying "I will try again tomorrow."

Aitan,
Good idea for a daily inspiration. I know I could certainly use some of that. Will be looking forward to it. Although I have to say, I don't know if I'll be contributing much. Seems like I'm not real positive on inspiring. But will try.

Thanks again Aitan. And by the way, how about some info on Grandma on another thread and how she and your grandfather are doing?

"Out of clutter, find simplicity. From discord, find harmony. In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity."

I think that opportunity for caregivers is one of love for another human. Many people live this life without ever being able to love and care for a human the way caregivers do, for this I think we should be grateful.

Karenlee,

Boy, that sure sounds like me, but much more often than I would like. Seems like lately I say that everyday.

Inspirational thought for Wednesday, October 29, 2008

[font=Arial]"If you see someone without a smile today, give them one of yours! In the meantime, live
simply.....love seriously......care deeply......speak kindly......leave the rest to God."[/font]

I'm sending a few smiles for anyone needing one today. If you need a smile, take one. If you don't, add one!

The supply of misery, pain, and suffering is unlimited. But so is the supply of pleasure, contentment, and fulfillment. It is we who do the rationing.
Ration no more! Capture wellness this instant! This instant is all there is. Live it!

When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.[/font]

This is your guardian angel saying that if things seem a little bit crazy where you are right now,
from up here you look pretty good.
