things to remember

~ What goes around comes around. If you dish it out, you will receive it back so be thoughtful about what you are serving up.

~ If you continually give, you will continually have. --Chinese proverb.

~ Do what you feel in your heart to be right - for you'll be criticized anyway. You'll be damned if you do, and damned if you don't. --Eleanor Roosevelt

~ The Four Agreements:

1. Be Impeccable With Your Word
Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.

2. Don’t Take Anything Personally
Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.

3. Don’t Make Assumptions
Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.

4. Always Do Your Best
Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.

~ Sometimes people you thought believed in you don't actually believe in you. This is really their problem, not yours.

~ The only thing we really have control over in our lives is how we choose to think about ourselves and care for our bodies.

~ Be the change in yourself that you want to see in the world. --Ghandi

~ All is well with you even though everything seems to go dead wrong, if you are square with yourself. Reversely, all is not well with you although everything outwardly may seem to go right, if you are not square with yourself. --Ghandi

~ Illusion is the first of all pleasures. --Oscar Wilde

~ One's real life is often the life that one does not lead. --Oscar Wilde

~ Eighty percent of success is showing up. --Woody Allen

~ Be faithful to that which exists nowhere but in yourself - and thus make yourself indispensable. --Andre Gide

~ Ask yourself: Have you been kind today? Make kindness your daily modus operandi and change your world. --Annie Lennox

~ No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. --Eleanor Roosevelt

~ Every time you suppress some part of yourself or allow others to play you small, you are in essence ignoring the owner's manual your creator gave you and destroying your design. --Oprah Winfrey

~ Challenges are gifts that force us to search for a new center of gravity. Don't fight them. Just find a different way to stand. --Oprah Winfrey

~ Little by little, one travels far. --J.R.R. Tolkein

~ Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind. --Dr. Seuss
