Uplifting quotes & Inspiring Thoughts

Today's thought from the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:

The greater part of our happiness or misery depends on our dispositions and not on our circumstances.
--Martha Washington

...

We all have friends who seem happy even though they run into lots of bad luck. And we all know other people who seem grumpy all the time. Nothing makes them very happy. It's puzzling, but some people have decided, maybe without even knowing it, that life is fun and should be enjoyed. No bit of bad luck has to make us miserable unless we let it.

A broken bike, a lost math assignment, a rained-out picnic are things that might make us miserable. But, we can decide they won't. Feeling happy can be a habit - just like brushing teeth before bedtime.

Will I stop and think today before I let things make me unhappy?

I inhale my courage and I exhale my fear

"Doing your best is more important than being the best."

My favorite bible verse & also my tattoo~

Romans 8:18: Our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that is yet to be revealed.

Meaning that the sadness you feel now will pass and it is nothing compared to the happiness that your future holds, everything passes and changes and gets better with time. Look forward.

"Everybody talks and everybody listens, but somehow it's the truth that always comes up missing."

A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed. (Proverbs 11:25, NIV)
