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.

Inspiraring thoughs to me is a wonder smile, a kind word, and to help someone in need. Seeing kindness happen, you don't have to feel well to be kind.
@vic418 Love this! :)
Don't be afraid to dream king size. Don't hesitate for one second to fulfil your dreams however silly they may seem. Live your dreams or you'll be living others dreams which in turn become your nightmares!
If not now, then when?
The Cookie Thief
by Valerie Cox
"A woman was waiting at an airport one night, with several long hours before her flight. She hunted for a book in the airport shops, bought a bag of cookies and found a place to drop.
She was engrossed in her book but happened to see, that the man sitting beside her, as bold as could be. . .grabbed a cookie or two from the bag in between, which she tried to ignore to avoid a scene.
So she munched the cookies and watched the clock, as the gutsy cookie thief diminished her stock. She was getting more irritated as the minutes ticked by, thinking, If I wasnt so nice, I would blacken his eye.
With each cookie she took, he took one too, when only one was left, she wondered what he would do. With a smile on his face, and a nervous laugh, he took the last cookie and broke it in half.
He offered her half, as he ate the other, she snatched it from him and thought… oooh, brother. This guy has some nerve and hes also rude, why he didnt even show any gratitude!
She had never known when she had been so galled, and sighed with relief when her flight was called. She gathered her belongings and headed to the gate, refusing to look back at the thieving ingrate.
She boarded the plane, and sank in her seat, then she sought her book, which was almost complete. As she reached in her baggage, she gasped with surprise, there was her bag of cookies, in front of her eyes.
If mine are here, she moaned in despair, the others were his, and he tried to share. Too late to apologize, she realized with grief, that she was the rude one, the ingrate, the thief."
Moral of the story — dont jump to conclusions about what you believe is impossible for you…dont be a cookie thief.
I made this as a summary of my thoughts/feelings over the past couple of days ... Found this thread and thought I'd share! I wonder which pic is your favourite?!

You cannot control your thoughts but you can choose not to let them control you :)
You become what you focus on
