Most people's confusion comes in the area of their desires, not their needs. Giving can be one of the greatest ways to receiving. If you want more love, give love. If you want more joy, be joyful. Look for the good in all things and situations, and you may be surprised at what you see. --John-Roger
All we need to do is allow more joy and love into our experience. We need to really choose it, to allow ourselves to feel it, paying attention, choosing to be alive and to be kind; allowing ourselves to feel and to be nurtured by the natural order of the Spirit of God. When we choose and allow it, the dramas fall away and dissolve. --Patricia Sun
Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen. --Winston Churchill
"Fear less, hope more; Whine less, breathe more; Talk less, say more; Hate less, love more; And all good things are yours." --Swedish Proverb
#1, my past does not have to define my NOW...I am doing that...I am in charge of my life now...yea, the past messed me up big time, but it does not have to rule my nows and my tomorrows......reboot reboot reboot my day, and eventually re-boot my life and override the past old files that need to go....................
#4, i always have said, what goes around comes around....give hate /get hate..give love/get love...give kindness/get kindness....which do i choose???? NOW I choose the positive....the steps keep me in line and focused on that
I especially liked Winston Churchill's quote. It reminded me of recovery... courage to stand up for what I want and need, but also the HUMILITY to know when to sit, be calm, & listen to those who have been there and have come through the other side, as well as the WILLINGNESS to be open to other (better) ways of dealing!!
Peace to you today!

hey ((((((PnP))))))))))) yea, Churchill's quote was brilliant....it takes a humble person to sit down....close the "pie hole".....and LISTEN and hopefully learn, LOL....I used to be so narrow minded..it was almost "my way or the highway" but no more...if one has a better idea??? I say "do it---go for it" who cares if it is my idea or another's??? if it is a blessing??? I embrace it now and thank the other.......on some stuff I see HUGE progress in me....other stuff???? well???? one day at a time and one slow step at a time, but IF I keep working on me, I WILL make progress....willingness will make it happen...............and peace to YOU as well.......
