Daily Reminders

[MarkG]

I thought I'd share some daily reading, partly because if I put it here I can remind myself to read them more regularly than I actually do, but I hope these can help motivate some people to keep moving forward. Feel free to post yours below. I separated this from the main quotes thread because these are the basic daily reminders that keep me going on any bad day and remind me what I'm doing here in the first place. These are my reminders to GAL, love, and be loved.

Feeling pain is not fun, but hitting bottom is actually a HUGE opportunity to make changes in your life that you would never have otherwise. When you feel that you are naked and have nothing to lose, a new level of freedom appears.

It is our decision on how we want to use pain! It can be a catalyst or an excuse. It is 100% our decision.

If you agree with me that "negative" events can always be transformed into catalysts for growth, then what happens to you in life is irrelevant.

So, stop worrying.

Be grateful for every moment.

I know why most marriages do not succeed from personal experience. It is hard work. Our loved ones are mirrors, and it is much easier to get angry at and run away from a mirror than it is to see ourselves, change, and accept each other.

Unconditional love is not warm, soft, and fuzzy.

It is fierce.

I am excited by unconditional love, because I don't see the limit to its potential.
