I saw this & instantly thought of you guys... I think a thread with some well placed words of wisdom would be a nice addition.




The size of the future you actually experience will largely be determined by one factor: people you choose to connect with. When you invite people who are truly committed to growth into every aspect of your life, your own potential for growth becomes truly unlimited. ~Dan Sullivan

I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love. ~Mother Teresa

Great idea shelbel!


Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it. ~ Groucho Marx

"Be patient with all that is unsolved in your heart. Try to live the questions themselves, like locked rooms or like books that are written in a foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers; they cannot be given to you because you could not yet live them. Gradually, without even noticing it, you will find yourself experiencing the answer some distant day." Rainer Maria Rilke

I love this thread!

Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday.

It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.

The power of patience, patience will achieve more than our force.

People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. That is how character is built
