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.
Who knew that one day I’d want to share those secret thoughts with you?
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.”
