“And it opened up my eyes, I saw the sign. Life is demanding without understanding.”
Pardon me, while I belt a few tunes from a favorite 80’s song. It’s been a rough, downhill slide back into reality after a long and much need vacay.
And I’ve been collecting a few along the way. I think they’ll not just lift me up, but inspire you too, no matter what journey you’re on. read more »
Among pining away for puppy love, I found a few journal entries on hope and a strong desire for inspiration. I was cataloging quotes to remind me to stay positive and to keep following my dreams.
Here are a few for your Monday to hopefully inspire you:
Vicky Ceelen author of Close Friends
“If I could reach up and hold a star for every time you made me smile, the entire evening sky would be in the palm of my hand.”
Then from a tiny book called Ain’t Life a Pomegranate? by Dr. Linda Andrade Wheeler:
“Do not lose sleep or exert energy on people who do not love you back or do not make you a better person by being associated with them.”
I love this one: “Take your rubbish with you and leave the place better than how you found it!”
And one more from this wise book: “What happens to a person is less significant than what happens within him.”
From The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom, A Toltec Wisdom Book
by Miguel Ruiz:
On Forgiveness – “You will know you have forgiven someone when you see them and you no longer have an emotional reaction…When someone can touch what used to be a wound and if no longer hurts you, then you know you have truly forgiven.”
I even wrote some of my own: “Imperfection is beautiful. It doesn’t pretend to be what it’s not-perfect.”
“I used to believe that love was an emotion engendered from a single soul endeared. Now I believe it is what remains from each individual that seeps into your heart and will remain forever.”
