“Some days,
doing the best we can do
may still fall short
of what we would like to be able to do,
but life isn’t perfect on any front,
and doing what we can with what we have
is the most we should expect
of ourselves or anyone else.”
~ Fred Rogers
“Don’t think about
what can happen in a month.
Don’t think about
what can happen in a year.
Just focus
on the 24 hours in front of you
and do what you can
to get closer to where you want to be.
Today is another day
for you to start creating your own happiness.”
~ Eric Thomas
“There is overwhelming evidence
that the higher the level of self-esteem,
the more likely one will be to treat others
with respect, kindness, and generosity.”
~ Nathaniel Branden
“Every storm runs out of rain.”
~ Maya Angelou more
“We cannot direct the wind,
but we can adjust the sails.”
~ Bertha Calloway
“Most of us
need to be reminded that we are good,
that we are lovable, that we belong.
If we knew
just how powerfully our thoughts,
words, and actions
affected the hearts of those around us,
we’d reach out and join hands again and again.
Our relationships
have the potential to be a sacred refuge,
a place of healing and awakening.
With each person we meet,
we can learn to look behind the mask
and see the one
who longs to love and be loved.”
~ Tara Brach
“Every day may not be good,
but there is something good
in every day.”
