Uplifting quotes & Inspiring Thoughts
I hope you can help me add uplifting and inspiring quotes here.
Hope is important because it can make the present moment less difficult to bear. If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear a hardship today.

?Of course there is no formula for success, except perhaps an unconditional acceptance of life, and what it brings?

" life is a process of self discovery." Each and every event is taking us to a new level of understanding. When we are children (kid) we want to be adult (grown up) soon. And when we become Grown up we think to be children again. This is related to understanding yourself. When we are kid every one cares for us. And when we become grown up, sometimes we ask who is there.. truly, life is a process of Self Discovery!
When life puts you in tough situations, don't say 'why me?', say 'try me'.
- Taylor Momsen

On the Subject of Forgiveness:
"Forgiveness does not mean that we turn ourselves
into a punching bag so that others can continuously throw blows
at us, nor does it mean that we become a doormat for others to
walk over and wipe their feet. People should certainly remove
themselves from a position in which they function as the target
of another?s attacks.
Forgiveness does not mean the following:
? We feel that the person or people who hurt us should be
allowed to continue.
? We feel that what they have done was not really so bad after
all.
? We suggest that we were actually wrong instead of the other
person.
? We have forgotten the wrong.
? We are totally free of the pain.
? We are ready to act as if nothing has happened.
? We are ready to associate fully with the person.
Forgiveness does mean the following:
? We are not going to allow the person who hurt us to continue
hurting us by constantly holding onto them or their actions. The
more we hold onto the anger associated with the event, the more
we allow the person to repeatedly assault us.
? We no longer want to keep living in the past.
? We are ready to live in the present by making healthy choices
that are not clouded by past negative influences.
? We are ready to be loving always, not only when someone else
acts favorably.
In other words, forgiveness is something we mainly do for
ourselves so that we can personally free ourselves from various
stagnations because such stagnations can affect us
physically, psychologically as well as spiritually. If another
person chooses to be continuously obnoxious, we do not want
to allow their nonsense to impose itself upon us in any way.
We want to be fully free to act in the spirit of love in spite
of the environment or the person?s actions. The spirit of love
entails knowing what is actually best for us as well as knowing
what is best for the other person?s spiritual well-being. When
we hold unhealthy anger, it normally means that we want to
retaliate or we want to see the person hurt. Consequently, we
must ask ourselves, ?How much harm or pain must the person
experience before we can release them from our psyche??
Their feelings of remorse or lack of remorse should not really
dictate or impose upon our own life."
-B.T. Swami
A woman looks out her window and sees her neighbor hanging her washing. She says to her husband, "That woman doesn't know how to do laundry. It's dingy. Maybe she needs better soap." Her husband says nothing. This goes on for several days. Then one day, the woman sees her neighbor hanging clean clothing out and tells her husband, "Wow, she finally learned how to do laundry. I wonder what she did different?" Her husband says, "She didn't do anything different. I got up early this morning and washed our windows." And so it is with life: What we see in others depends on the clarity of the window we look through.
Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game
"I am and will always be the optimist. The hoper of far-flung hopes. The dreamer of improbable dreams." ~11th Doctor [S0606] This quote has helped me keep a positive attitude on better days--on worse ones I just binge-eat sweets. Hopefully this might help other people too :) Have a fantastic day, y'all!
Always remember that you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.
