Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.

-- Ralph Waldo Emerson

If you donate money to charities because you want to be known as a generous person...or to think of yourself as generous...
Your intention is to gain..not to give.

"You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She’s not perfect - you aren’t either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her heart. So don’t hurt her, don’t change her, don’t analyze and don’t expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she’s not there." -Bob Marley

How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these.

George Washington Carver

We were born to touch each other. What does your touch feel like to others?
Do you reach out in anger, disdain, or with resentments?
Do you need to please, or need to push away?
Can you do what is appropriate, act with an open heart...and trust the Universe?

Kobi · 05-12-2012, 09:07 AM

I can honestly say that I was never affected by the question of the success of an undertaking. If I felt it was the right thing to do, I was for it regardless of the possible outcome.

Golda Meir

Unbeing dead isn't being alive.

As for goals, I don't set myself those anymore. I'm not one of these 'I must have achieved this and that by next year' kind of writers. I take things as they come and find that patience and persistence tend to win out in the end.
Paul Kane

To love beauty, is to see light.
Victor Hugo

The best things in the world cannot be seen or even touched – they must be felt with the heart.
Helen Keller

Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
and though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love, but not your thoughts.
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward, nor tarries with yesterday.

Kahlil Gibran

and though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love, but not your thoughts.

You may house their bodies but not their souls,
for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,

You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward, nor tarries with yesterday.

I would rather be mad with the truth than sane with lies. -Bertrand Russel

I never learned anything from anybody who agreed with me. - Unknown

...Let me tell you, I am a Superwoman
Yes I am (yes she is) oh yeah
See, even when I'm a mess
I still put on a vest
With an S on my chest
Oh yes, I'm a Superwoman
(Yes I am) Said I'm a Superwoman (yes you are)

Confusion Speaks

Dark night; her blood beckons the demons,
what reasoning is left in this place.

Left alone pale and lifeless as her soul searches for answers but there is none.

The only sound she hears is the last breath as her heart stops and like hungry thieves they use their long tongues licking up every drop of blood as they rendered it from her soul.

Confusion speaks, but nobody listens.

As I may or may not say to the Lord on Judgment Day, "You ask a lot of questions for someone who has so much explaining to do." ~Robert Brault

Talon · 05-14-2012, 10:07 AM

Being generous in some way by giving emotionally, sexually, or energetically feels threatening because it is a selfless act which requires a loosening or letting go of one's self or psychological bounderies.

~Dr. Richard Nicastro
