These have made my journey much easier: Don't Sweat The Small Stuff, It's all Mostly Small. The Best Things in Life Are Not Things. Progress, Not Perfection. The Glass is Half Full, VS Half Empty. One Day At A Time. Keep It Simple. Your Words?????
From W.Clement Stone, founder of Combined Insurance Company of America, is this quote that we all learned as a sales agent for Combined. Do the right thing because it is the right thing to do. This one is my favorite, but we learned quite a few other positive thinking quotes from some of the authors of books that we read for Combined, and I will share as I think of more. My favorite author was Og Mandino, but most of his quotes are longer ones.
I don't recall the who, where & when but this is from a college graduation ceremony: You don't always get what you deserve, and you don't always deserve what you get.
I liked the quote in the movie Shaw Shank Redemption. " get busy living or get busy dying" hubby and I used that in real life when he broke his back. We were lying in bed talking suicide,about to lose all we worked for and him in severe pain. I remembered that movie we had seen and we decided to get busy living and, ' let the cards fall where they may.'We managed to save our home and life.
Just got reminded today of this one,About to put those roadside toilets to good use. "one mans trash is another mans treasure".
“There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.” ― Ayn Rand Is this not what the leaders have done to 'we the people'?
