I have 3 quotes written on my wall which I refer to the most:

"Don't you see? Your fear is based on the certainty that these things are going to happen, whereas the one thing that centuries of Science have taught us is that; the only thing that's certain is NOTHING is for certain" - I heard this on an episode of Ghost Whisperer!

"Too many of us stay walled because we are afraid of being hurt. We are afraid to care too much, for fear that the other person does not care as much or not at all." --Eleanor Roosevelt

"Coffee: The finest organic suspension devised." - Captain Kathryn Janeway of the Federation Starship: Voyager

I especially find the coffee one uplifting because well.. coffee.. and Janeway.

But in all seriousness, when life gets too crazy, it's always nice to sit with a hot beverage and just take a minute.

Well, the greats thought the same way!

"Bring me abowl of coffeebefore I turn into a goat." - J.S. Bach

Every time there are losses there are choices to be made. You choose to live your losses as passages to anger, blame, hatred, depression and resentment, or you choose to let these losses be passages to something new, something wider, and deeper.

?The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths.

Beautiful people do not just happen.? | Elisabeth Kler-Ross

I really like the one in my DP:

"Spend life with who makes you happy, not who you have to impress"

I think it applies to everyone, friends, spouses, lovers. We shouldn't give importance tothe people who make us feel bad about ourselves.

An arrow can only be shot by pulling it back.

So when life is dragging you back with difficulties,

it means that it?s going to launch you into

something great.

Just focus and keep aiming!

"Sad's alright. Sad's just a part of everything" -David Almond

Especially for all the listeners amongst us

?A customer is the most important visitor on our premises. He is not dependent on us. We are dependent on him. He is not an interruption in our work. He is the purpose of it. He is not an outsider in our business. He is part of it. We are not doing him a favor by serving him. He is doing us a favor by giving us an opportunity to do so.?

― Mahatma Gandhi

My first thought was: "Great quote, but Gandhi said that??" I was skeptical, but apparently -- Yes!

Nice one!

''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's not just in some of us; it's 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
