When it seems....................

When it seems like the universe is conspiring against you by throwing some ludicrous things your way, have enough internal fortitude to withstand the silliness and come out unaffected by it all. If you run into some people or situations you find incredibly absurd, to say the least, try to ignore someone who is simply trying to get a reaction out of you. Eventually, they'll get bored and move on. The worst thing you can do right now is show the other person that what they're doing concerns you in any way.

I do not................

I do not think much of a man who does not know more today than he did yesterday. Abraham Lincoln

When you relinquish ................

When you relinquish the desire to control your future, you can have more happiness. Nicole Kidman

Knee-jerk reactions................................

Knee-jerk reactions and split-second judgments almost always backfire, particularly when they're based on half-truths and suppositions. You may have some underlying cause for concern, but temper your response -- otherwise it may be seen as way out of line and won't help solve the problem.

What we anticipate.............................................................

What we anticipate seldom occurs. What we least expected usually happens. 

Benjamin Disraeli

Better to light................

Better to light one small candle than to curse the darkness. 

– Chinese Proverb

Hard work yields.......................

Hard work yields pleasing results and proves that momentum is the key to your success. Once you get going, you may find yourself exceeding expectations long before you're ready to quit. This is a great time to start a new health program or an art project. Once you get underway, people around you are bound to take notice. Share your new plans with friends or family; they will provide you with useful help and suggestions. Take the time to rest up and build your enthusiasm, then don't let anything stop you!
