We all have things we wish we didn't do or could do over. The past is the past. Let it go and do the best you can today!

There are two ways to slide easily through life; to believe everything or to doubt everything. Both ways save us from thinking. Alfred Korzybski

Yoda: "And that is why you fail."

“Never, never, never give up.”
― Winston Churchill

That's a good one that one, i was originally annoyed when you posted it. Because it came across as some sort of passive feminine quote. But..? then i read it again and really thought about it. I am a indecisive person and sometimes over analytically, sometimes you just have to chance things and ride the wave.

Haha..you're a spitfire, aren't you Mind Power?!
Jumping to the wrong conclusion (at first..lol)

When you've made plans only to have them backfire over and over again, there comes a time where you breathe, trust and just... let go......and of course, hope for the best.

That's where I am at this time, mindpower....just riding my life's wave.

Nothing passive feminine about it. :cool:

Probably a little bit, but i kept my anger to myself! i did think about saying something to you, but nothing aggressive or offensive. I would of probably asked you to explain why you liked the quote..? haha.

But after analyzing it, i understand what you are saying and it actually applies to me.

Its a good quote.

Yeh i need to ride that wave to.........

That's good Hope.

Inspirational Quote

Hop on!




Heaven, I love that one! :hug:

Its good apart from the "Explain bit" annoys me when i have to explain myself all the time like in everyday life to busy bodies, well its a form of energy vampirism.

There is another quote...




I am going to go 1 month without explaining myself to certain people.

I like your quote! In my case I view it for my step sons I have to explain so they can understand me. Busy bodies can mind their own business, I don't explain myself to those people they get on my nerves.

"I used to be an atheist until I realized I am God." J. Krishnamurti.

“This life is what you make it. No matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And baby, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up because if you give up, you'll never find your soulmate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.”
― Marilyn Monroe

"Live each moment completely and the future will take care of itself. Fully enjoy
the wonder and beauty of each moment"

Paramhansa Yoganada

a veritable tornado sweeping across the plains—flattening everything in its path,
tossing things up in the air, ripping them to shreds, crushing them to bits.
The tornado’s intensity doesn’t abate for a second as it blasts across the ocean,
laying waste to everything, transforming itself.
This is where it all began, and where it all ended. Almost.

-Gangaji, from "You Are That!"

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.”

― Albert Einstein

Live and learn.

I do this every day, and it's a quote that keeps on...keepin' on. :)

The more I learn about people...the more I like my dog
Mark Twain

Today, notice your intent: Are you focused on protecting against pain and trying to have control over getting love? Or are you focused on learning about loving yourself and sharing your love with others? When you feel empty, anxious or depressed, your intent is to protect/control. When you feel full, happy and peaceful, your intent is to learn about loving yourself and others. Your feelings are determined by your intent and indicate your intent. ~Margaret Paul

Always loved this one.

Just saw it on a calender, don't know who came up with it.

REGARDLESS OF THE WEATHER,WHEREVER YOU GO IT'S A GOOD IDEA
TO BRING YOUR OWN SUNSHINE.
FROM WHAT I HAVE OBSERVED ABOUT LIFE,MANY SUCCESSFULL PEOPLE
WE WOULD CALL "WINNERS"WILL TELL YOU IT WAS ONLY BECAUSE OF
TRYING ONE MORE TIME,THAT THEY ACCOMPLISHED THERE DESIRE.
AND YOUR ALREADY A WINNER BECAUSE EXTERNAL THINGS RARELY
DETERMINE SUCCESS.

The function and duty of a quality human being is the sincere and honest development of one's potential. - Bruce Lee


If any organism fails to fulfil its potentialities, it becomes sick. - William James
