Inspirational Quotes I Found

Just wanted to share....I'm a huge card collector (as I still love sending the old fashioned cards through snail mail, hand-written, and yep, I even use stickers!) Well, I found a few tonight as I was preparing to write a few, and I would like to share three of them.


"Whatever you are, be a good one." ---Abraham Lincoln

"RISK more than others think is safe; CARE more than others think is wise; DREAM more than others think is practical; EXPECT more than others think is possible." ---Cadet Maxim

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

My number 2 card:

I like this one for inspirational messages I send to cancer patients:

"Somewhere over the rainbow

Way up high there's a land I heard of

once in a lullaby.

Some where over the rainbow

Skies are blue

And the dreams that your dare to

dream

Really do come true."

I know in a way this may not sound related, but bear with me,...

I watched a movie called "Now You See Me"....it was about magicians.

One of their themes was "The closer you look, the less you'll see."

Well, I thought about that, and you know, they're right! Sometimes we focus so closely on some one or two little details that we miss the bigger picture, and in doing so, we may miss opportunities that are really just an arm's length away.

Hmm.....Food for thought.




M.

You're totally right by the way.

We all have a lot of common problems, We also have one common asset! HOPE!, Peace

Thanks Merrida, they are great and I love the idea of having quotes, videos, and photos handy for anxious situations. I have issues with people thinking I said something differently then I meant it so I like this one:

"Worry about your character and not your reputations, because your character is who you are, and your reputation is what people think of you"

For inspiration I like:

"Don't be afraid to fail. Be afraid not to try."

"Believe you can & you're half way there"

"The happiest people don't have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything."

"Be better than you were yesterday"

"The best way to cheer yourself up is to try and cheer someone else up." - Mark Twain

"You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life." -Winston Churchill

"Don't wait for people to be friendly, show them how."

"I have decided to be happy, because it is good for my health." -Voltaire

"Do not regret growing older. It is a privilege denied to many"

"Integrity is doing the right thing when no one is watching"

"In 3 words I can sum up everything I know about life: it goes on." - Robert Frost

"It's not what you look like that matters. It's what you see"

"Sometimes you will never know the true value of a moment until it becomes a memory."

"Your past mistakes are meant to guide you, not define you."

"Don't place your mistakes on your head, their weight may crush you. Instead, place them under your feet and use them as a platform to view your horizons."

"The world has enough for everyone's need, but not for everyone's greed." -Gandhi

"Having a rough morning? Place your hand over your heart. Feel that? That's called purpose. You're alive for a reason. Don't give up."

Promote what you love instead of bashing what you hate

"Note to self: Just breathe"

"Practice random kindness"

"Be the type of person you want to meet"

"You have never really lived until you have done something for someone who never repay you"

"Life is like a roller coaster. It has its ups and downs but it's your choice to scream or enjoy the ride"

"Do not give up, the beginning is always the hardest."



Hope you found one with meaning

I just want to add my 'quote of the day' from work today-

If you can't see a bright side, polish the dull side

I just came across this one and thought you all might enjoy it:

"Watch your thoughts, they become your words...
Watch your words, they become your actions...

Watch your actions, they become your habits...

Watch your habits, they become your character...

Watch your character, it becomes your destiny..."
