"Forgiveness
is an act of the imagination. It dares you to
imagine a better future, one that is based on
the blessed possibility that your hurt will not
be the final word on the matter. It challenges
you to give up your destructive thoughts about
the situation and to believe in the possibility
of a better future. It builds confidence that
you can survive the pain and grow from it. "

It gives confidence. It annihilates obstacles. Everybody
believes in a determined man. People know that when
he undertakes a thing, the battle is half won, for
his rule is to accomplish whatever he sets out to
do.

Children
Learn What They Live -
If a child lives with criticism, he learns to
condemn.
If a child lives with hostility, he learns to
fight.
If a child lives with ridicule, he learns to be
shy.
If a child learns to feel shame, he learns to
feel guilty.
If a child lives with tolerance, he learns to
be patient.
If a child lives with encouragement he learns
confidence
If a child lives with praise, he learns to appreciate.
He a child lives with fairness, he learns justice.
If a child lives with security, he learns to have
faith.
If a child lives with approval, he learns to like
himself.
If a child lives with acceptance and friendship,
he learns to find love in the world.
-- Dorothy Law Neite
Without
a humble but reasonable confidence in your own
powers you cannot be successful or happy.
~Norman Vincent Peale
"Believe
in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without
a humble but reasonable confidence in your own
powers you cannot be successful or happy. Formulate
and stamp indelibly on your mind a mental picture
of yourself as succeeding. Hold this picture tenaciously.
Never permit it to fade. Your mind will seek to
develop the picture. Do not build obstacles in
your imagination. Do not be awestruck by other
people and try to copy them. Nobody can be you
as efficiently as you can."
-- Norman Vincent Peale

Our
ordinary mind always tries to persuade us that
we are nothing but acorns and that our greatest
happiness will be to become bigger, fatter, shinier
acorns; but that is of interest only to pigs.
Our faith gives us knowledge of something better:
that we can become oak trees.
~ E. F. Schumacher

What
a man thinks of himself, that it is which determines,
or rather indicates his fate.
-- Henry David
Thoreau

Your
playing small doesn't serve the world. There's
nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other
people won't feel insecure around you. We are
all meant to shine, as children do.
-- Marianne
Williamson
|
Our
deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our
deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens
us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are
you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing
small does not serve the world. There is nothing
enlightened about shrinking so that other people
won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant
to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest
the glory of God that is within us. It is not just
in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let
our own light shine, we unconsciously give other
people permission to do the same. As we are liberated
from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates
others.
-- Marianne Williamson |
