“Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired and success achieved.”
~Helen Keller
CHARACTER
LOVE YOURSELF
“You could search the world far and wide to find someone more deserving of your love and affection than yourself, but you’ll never find that person. You yourself are more deserving of that love than anyone in the universe.”
~ Buddha
Humanity
” A human being is a part of the whole that we call the universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest – a kind of optical illusion of his consciousness. This illusion is a prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for only the few people nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living beings and all of nature.”
~ Albert Einstein
COURAGE
“Courage takes many forms. There is physical courage, there is moral courage. Then there is a still higher type of courage- the courage to brave pain, to live with it, to never let others know of it and to still find joy in life; to wake up in the morning with an enthusiasm for the day ahead.” ~ Howard Cosell
Beside Me
Sad Man
“Every Man Has His Secret Sorrows Which The World Knows Not; And Often Times We Call A Man Cold When He Is Only Sad.”
~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Repost: 10 Mistakes Unhappy People Make
We will all have our “blue” days, it’s part of life; however we should strive to live a happy life and not wallow in our misery. This was a great read:
Happy Mother’s Day
Mother’s, they are amazing people! I especially LOVE mine with all my heart and soul. She is my rock. She has loved, cared, and protected me before I was even out of the womb. Even now as an adult she is always watching out and taking care of me when I’m in need. I hope she lives forever, because it breaks my heart to think that she wont always be there. Most of all, I’m grateful that she has loved me even when I wasn’t so lovable. I love you Mom.
To all the mother’s out there, be it to human children or four legged fur babies , I hope you have a wonderful and beautiful day. Enjoy your day!!
Pictures of my wonderful and beautiful mother loving and caring for me:
My favorite singer Celine Dion, and a perfect Mother’s Day song: If I could
