"Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced."

James Baldwin


A true little statement for us survivors

"It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed."


Theodore Roosevelt

"Make it a rule of life never to regret and never to look back.
Regret is an appalling waste of energy, you can't build on it; It's only for wallowing in."

-Katherine Mansfield

"Always do right - this will gratify some and astonish the rest."

Mark Twain

"Perseverance is not a long race; it is many short races one after another."

Walter Elliott

Three for today, I couldn't decide.

"If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always gotten."

Anthony Robbins


“Courage is the discovery that you may not win, and trying when you know you can lose.”

Tom Krause

“You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you, and in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you.”

Brian Tracy

"It doesn't matter how many say it cannot be done or how many people have tried it before; it's important to realize that whatever you're doing, it's your first attempt at it."

Wally Amos

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
Your playing small does not serve the world.

There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
So that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We were all meant to shine, as children do.
It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine,
We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same
As we are liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others."


By Marianne Williamson

This is one that many of us cannot do, (including Myself) But maybe the words will help someone.

"Forgiving does not erase the bitter past. A healed memory is not a deleted memory. Instead, forgiving what we cannot forget creates a new way to remember. We change the memory of our past into a hope for our future."

-- Lewis B. Smedes

Martin,

The last two days of quotes were super and rung my bell.

Thanks for continuing with them!

Forgiving; it is something I did when I was a teenager, because I needed to or I couldn't go on with life. But I know it is too difficult for many.

In AA, I also got the core meaning to forgive; it worked for me as well. Not that I am saying it has to be everyone's path.

thanks again man

peace
