"Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections but instantly set about remedying them -- every day begin the task anew."

Saint Francis de Sales


My tag line comes from my own thoughts and lessons I've learned that have helped me along the way.

"The only people who never make mistakes are those who aren't doing anything." Me

You will find yourself refreshed by the presence of cheerful people. Why not make earnest effort to confer that pleasure on others? Half the bottle is gained if you never allow yourself to say anything gloomy.

If you haven't written down your goals, you don't believe in you.

Having gratitude for where you are is so much more productive than wasting time on regret for where you were.

[weezybear]

Your dreams are the gaeway to your soul.
It is the dream realized that sets your souls dancing and it is the dance that matters, it is the dance that sets you free.

Remember you did not come here to sit o the sidelines and watch. You came here to dance.

Letting go doesn't mean we don't care. Letting go doesn't mean we shut down.
Letting go means we stop trying to force outcomes and make people behave.
It means we give up resistance to the way things are, for the moment.
It means we stop trying to do the impossible ~ controlling that which
we cannot ~ and instead, focus on what is possib......le ~ which usually means
taking care of ourselves. And we do this in gentleness, kindness,
and love, as much as possible... ~Melody Beattie

[weezybear]

Most people never run far enough on their first wind to find out if they've fot a second. Give your dreams all you'vegot and you'll be amazed at the energy that comes ou of you.

FORGET today....
Forget your age, forget your past, forget your aches and pains
And remember.....
Who you really are and why you came here.
And how very much you are loved.

[weezybear]

Witness Gods love through the love that you bring to the world.
Every ounce of love that you share is God's gift to you.

Adream you dream alone is a dream. Adream you dream together is reality

Therefore we do not give up, but even if the man we are outside is wasting away, certainly the man we are inside is being renewed from day to day. For though the tribulation is momentary and light, it works out for us a glory that is more surpassing weight and is everlasting; While we keep our eye, not on the things seen, but on the things unseen.
For the things seen are temporay, but the things un seen are everlasting

II Corinthians 4:16-18

[weezybear]

Life was meant to be lived, and curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for what ever reason, turn his back on life.

Its time foe us all to stand and cheer for the doer, the achiever--the one who recognizes the challenges and does something about it.

[weezybear]

Don't count what you lost, cherish what you hae and plan what to gain because past never returns but future may fulfill the loss.

You will find as you find as you look back upon your life, that the moments when you have truly lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love.

Take time to laugh.
It is the music of the soul.
Take time to think.
It is the source of power.
Take time to play.
It is the source of perpetual youth.
Take time to read.
It is the fountain of wisdom.
Take time to pray.
It is the greatest power on Earth.
Take time to love and be loved.
It is a God-given privilege.
Take time to be friendly.
It is the road to happiness.
Take time to give.
It is too short a day to be selfish.
Take time to work.
It is the price of success.

No one can tell you what your truth is or how to get there.
There can soften the path a little.
But if you awake and alive, there will come a time whenyou will have to ecamine your own heart.

Whatever you do today remember ONE thing. That in the end, all that treall matters is the love! But most importantly-DID YOU GIVE IT ? Remember the LOVE!

Being Disappointed Is All About Perspective......

Being disappointed is all about perspective. It took me a long time to realize this. I was under the impression that if someone did something I didn't like, or a situation evolved that I wasn't happy with, then I had the "right" to be disappointed.....

So how do we change our perceptions? By becoming more aware of what your perceptions and beliefs are. You cannot change what you do not understand. So spend some time looking internally and when you become disappointed, think about what is disappointing you.

Is it really the situation or the person, or is it because they are not behaving in a way you believe they should behave? Then slowly as you do this, force yourself to look at the bigger picture of what is going on.

Force yourself to see the situation from a new perspective and offer positive spins on what has happened. I believe that the more you do this, the less you will be disappointed because you will stop taking things so personally.

You will also begin to realize that the way things turn out are the way things are supposed to turn out, whether they are in line with your beliefs or not. This will lead you to feeling more in control of your emotions as well as of your behaviors and actions.

You will also be able to use any challenge as an opportunity to grow, develop, and move your life forward, because you will not continuously be knocked down by disappointment.

Patience doesn't always help a situation, but impatience never does..

After all is said and done, owe no man nothing, but to love them.

It's better to have a without words than words without a heart.

Those who never retract their opinions, love themselves more then they love the truth.

[weezybear]

If you can't fly then fly, then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can'st walk then crawl, but whatever youu do have to keep moving forward.

Love grows by giving. The love we give away is the onl love we keep.
The only way to retain love is to give it away.

[quoteHm, I posted several quotes here late last night, but now they're gone. Weird. And I could have sworn I had 7 Karma and now I only have 6. It's as if that whole interlude last night was completely erased. Even weirder. ][/quote]

Good morning celtophile! I read back and they are back.

Is there someone or something in your life that you need to forgive today, in order to be FREE?

May there be a miricle in your life today and may you have the EYES to see it.

One half is luck, the other half is disipline and that's the important half. For without disipline you wouldn't know what to do with luck.

Oh, that's a good quote indeed, Witchy..

[Deleted]

Are you willing to pay the price
when necessary - and to do it
with great tact and tenderness?

Witchy, I really like your last quote.. The above portion of your quote is, and has been for a long time, my desire - to speak with a softened heart and tongue to keep at bay, any wrath..

Accept no other definition of your life, accept only what has God given.

[weezybear]

Never hudge anyone but yourself. Don't let yourself think you know what people are feeling in any way, shape or form, to be negative or better yourself then anyone you put yourself higher then one, be careful in time too come you yourself or the one you love the most may have fallen lower than the lowest who may have thought you would never be.

Weezy.. Girl, your quote is on point!

Without geography, you are nowhere..

I saw the above quote on a church sign.. The message for Sunday is.. "Where are you now, and what direction are you heading in?"

(I may not have the title of the message correct, but that's the gist of it.)

When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant. ~Author Unknown

[weezybear]

Often we allow ourwelves to be upset by small things we should despise and forget. we lose many irreplacable hours brooding our grievences that, in a years time will be forgotten by us and by everybody. No, let us devote our life to worthwile actiones and feelings, to great thoughts, real reflections and enduring undertakings.

I agree, Witchy, Weezy said a mouthful.
