About Me	"I hated every minute of working out, but I said, don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion." ~Muhammad Ali~ "Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go." - William Feather- "In the confrontation between the stream and the rock, the stream always wins, not by strength but by perseverance." - H. Jackson Brown - “Life doesn’t get easier, you just get stronger” "Live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about his religion. Respect others in their views and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and of service to your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide. Always give a word or sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, or even a stranger... Show respect to all people, but grovel to none. When you rise in the morning, give thanks for the light, for your life, for your strength. Give thanks for your food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason to give thanks, the fault lies in yourself. Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision. When your time comes to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home." ~Tecumesh, Shawnee Chief 1768-1813~ "There is more hunger for love and appreciation in this world than for bread." - Mother Teresa "The greater danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it." - Michelangelo - "Reputation is what others perceive you as being, and their opinion may be right or wrong. Character, however, is what you really are, and nobody truly knows that but you. But you are what matters most." ~ John Wooden I have never met a man so ignorant that I couldn't learn something from him. –Galileo Galilei- The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits. ~Albert Einstein~ When you came into the world, it rejoiced and you cried. Live your life so when you leave this world, it cries and you rejoice. Serenity Prayer God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, And wisdom to know the difference. I choose to live by choice, not by chance; to make changes, not excuses; to be motivated, not manipulated; to be useful, not used; to excel and compete, not complacent and weak. I choose self-esteem, not self pity. I choose to listen to my inner voice, not the random opinion of others. "Too positive to be doubtful...too optimistic to be fearful & too determined to be defeated" "Courage doesn't always roar; Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, I will try again tomorrow" ~Mary Radmacher~ "I can and will be changed by what happens to me, but I refuse to give up and be defeated by it!" RLS " Don't judge those who try and fail, judge those who fail to try?" -Unknown- "Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.” ~ Epicurus~ "In the end, it's not the years in my life that counts most, but it's the life in my years, that will make the difference." ~RLS~ "For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone. People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others" ~ Audrey Hepburn~ An old man once said ...There comes a time in life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it..You surround yourself with people who make you laugh, forget the bad, and focus on the good...So love the people who treat you right, pray for the ones who don't..Life is too short to be anything but happy..Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living ~♥~ Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections but instantly set about remedying them...every day begin the task anew. - Saint Francis De Sales - "Do you know why, you close your eyes when you pray, when you cry, when you dream, and when you kiss? Because the precious and priceless moments in life are not made to be seen, but felt by the heart ♥" Mohandas Gandhi’s "Seven Deadly Sins” 1. Wealth without work 2. Pleasure without conscience 3. Science without humanity 4. Knowledge without character 5. Politics without principle 6. Commerce without morality 7. Worship without sacrifice. Don't answer the foolish arguments of fools, or you will become as foolish as they are. Proverbs 26:4 “Kind thoughts are rarer than either kind words or deeds. They imply a great deal of thinking about others. This in itself is rare. But they also imply a great deal of thinking about others without the thoughts of criticism, this is rarer still…” "Talent is God given, be humble. Fame is man given be grateful. Conceit is self-given, be careful."- John wooden "Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people".- Eleanor Roosevelt ... "Watch your thoughts-they become words. Choose your words-they become actions. Understand your actions-they become habits. Study your habits-they will become your character. Develop your character-it becomes your destiny." Live Your Life to the FULLEST with Fun, Joy and Peace...Along with Character, Dignity and Integrity! "There is no need for temples, no need for complicated philosophies. My brain and my heart are my temp...(read more)
