There are tons of them out there, so this really is just a taste of our fav’s, but we think you’ll love ‘em as much as we do :). Ready? Here we go …
That 4-Letter-Word – On Love
From author Stephen R. Covey: “Love is a verb. Love – the feeling – is a fruit of love, the verb … Love is a value that is actualized through loving actions.”
From psychologist Patrick Del Zoppo: “Everyone at some point will suffer a loss ~ the loss of loved ones, good health, a job. It’s your desert experience – a time of feeling barren of options, even hope. The important thing is not to allow yourself to be stranded in the desert.”
Do this Like the Divine – On Forgiveness
From a (comic) gal named Kathy: “Forgiving is not forgetting. It’s letting go of the hurt.”
From Lewis B. Smedes: “You will know that forgiveness has begun when you recall those who hurt you and feel the power to wish them well.”
Living the Good Life – On Success
From Zig Ziglar: “The definition of success is getting many of the things money can buy and all the things money can’t buy.”
From Doug Firebaugh: “Every day do something that will inch you closer to a better tomorrow.”
Belly-Button Contemplations – On Knowing Thyself
From Aristotle: “Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.”
From Rainer Maria Rilke: “The only journey is the journey within.”
From Jean-Paul Sartre: “We only become what we are by the radical and deep-seated refusal of that which others have made of us.”
I Love Myself – I Do, I Do! – On Self Acceptance
From A. Bronson Alcott: “Your real influence is measured by your treatment of yourself.”
From La Rochefoucauld: “A man who finds no satisfaction in himself will seek for it in vain elsewhere.”
Yep – Your Turn :)
