20 Things To Always Remember And One To Never Forget
1. Your
presence is a present to the world.
Somewhere there is someone that dreams of your
smile, and finds in your presence that life is worthwhile, so when you are
lonely remember it’s true, someone somewhere is thinking of you. You must love
yourself before you love another. By accepting yourself and fully being what
you are, your simple presence can make others happy.
2.
You're unique and one of a kind.
“No matter what age you are, or what your circumstances
might be, you are special, and you still have something unique to offer. Your
life, because of who you are, has meaning.” Barbara De Angelis
Don't let
anyone tell you that you have to be a certain way. Be unique. Be what you feel.
3. Your
life can be what you want it to be.
The longer I live, the more I realize the impact
of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more
important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than
failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more
important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a
company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice
everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change
our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We
cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one
string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what
happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in
charge of our Attitudes.
4. Take
the days just one at a time.
One day at a time--this is enough. Do not look
back and grieve over the past for it is gone; and do not be troubled about the
future, for it has not yet come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful
it will be worth remembering.
5.
Count your blessings, not your troubles.
Count your blessings. Once you realize how
valuable you are and how much you have going for you, the smiles will return,
the sun will break out, the music will play, and you will finally be able to
move forward the life that God intended for you with grace, strength, courage,
and confidence. May God give you...For every storm a rainbow, for every tear a
smile, for every care a promise and a blessing in each trial. For every problem
life sends, a faithful friend to share, for every sigh a sweet song and an
answer for each prayer.
6.
You'll make it through whatever comes along.
“When it comes to the future, there are three kinds of
people: those who let it happen, those who make it happen, and those who
wonder what happened.” John M. Richardson, Jr.
Live this day as if it will be your last. Remember
that you will only find ''tomorrow'' on the calendars of fools. Forget
yesterday's defeats and ignore the problems of tomorrow. This is it. Doomsday.
All you have. Make it the best day of your year. The saddest words you can ever
utter are, ''If I had my life to live over again. ''Take the baton, now. Run
with it! This is your day! Beginning today, treats everyone you meet, friend or
foe, loved one or stranger, as if they were going to be dead at midnight.
Extend to each person, no matter how trivial the contact, all the care and
kindness and understanding and love that you can muster, and do it with no
thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again.
7.
Within you are so many answers.
“When you find peace within yourself, you become the kind of
person who can live at peace with others.” Peace Pilgrim
Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always
remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to
reach for the stars to change the world.
8.
Understand, have courage, be strong.
“To understand everything is to forgive everything” Buddha
“Courage is going from failure to failure without losing
enthusiasm.” Winston Churchill
“A man must be big enough to admit his mistakes, smart
enough to profit from them, and strong enough to correct them.” John C.
Maxwell
May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough
trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human enough hope to make
you happy.
9.
Don't put limits on yourself.
“If you limit your choices only to what seems possible or
reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want, and all that is
left is compromise.” Robert Fritz
10. So
many dreams are waiting to be realized.
Build this day on a foundation of pleasant
thoughts. Never fret at any imperfections that you fear may impede your
progress. Remind yourself, as often as necessary, that you are a creature of
God and have the power to achieve any dream by lifting up your thoughts. You
can fly when you decide that you can. Never consider yourself defeated again.
Let the vision in your heart be in your life's blueprint. Smile!
11.
Decisions are too important to leave to chance.
“Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it
happen.” Ralph Waldo Emerson
It's not what's happening to you now or what has happened in
your past that determines who you become. Rather, it's your decisions about
what to focus on, what things mean to you, and what you're going to do about
them that will determine your ultimate destiny.
12.
Reach for your peak, your goal, and your prize.
“Peak performers develop powerful mental images of the
behavior that will lead to the desired results. They see in their mind's eye
the result they want, and the actions leading to it.” Charles Garfield
“The achievement of your goal is assured the moment you
commit yourself to it.” Mack R. Douglas
Without ambition one starts nothing. Without work
one finishes nothing. The prize will not be sent to you. You have to win it.
13.
Nothing wastes more energy than worrying.
“There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying
about things which are beyond the power of our will.” Epictetus quotes
Life is short, don't waste time worrying about
what people think of you Hold on to the ones that care, in the end they will be
the only ones there.” You can't change the past, but you can ruin the present
by worrying about the future.
14. The
longer one carries a problem, the heavier it gets.
“The problem is not the problem; the problem is
your attitude about the problem”
“Live life fully while you're here. Experience everything.
Take care of yourself and your friends. Have fun, be crazy, be weird. Go out
and screw up! You're going to anyway, so you might as well enjoy the process.
Take the opportunity to learn from your mistakes: find the cause of your problem
and eliminate it. Don't try to be perfect; just be an excellent example of
being human.” Anthony Robbins
15.
Live a life of serenity, not a life of regrets.
“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot
change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the
difference.” Reinhold Niebuhr
“Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard.
Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Appreciate
your friends. Continue to learn. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there
is.” Mary Anne Radmacher
Prayer is not a way of making use of God; prayer
is a way of offering ourselves to God in order that He should be able to make
use of us. It may be that one of our great faults in prayer is that we talk too
much and listen too little. When prayer is at its highest we wait in silence
for God's voice to us; we linger in His presence for His peace and His power to
flow over us and around us; we lean back in His everlasting arms and feel the serenity
of perfect security in Him.
16.
Remember that friendship is a wise investment.
“The finest kind of friendship is between people who expect
a great deal of each other but never ask it” Sylvia Bremer
But what is the good of friendship if one cannot
say exactly what one means? Anybody can say charming things and try to please
and to flatter, but a true friend always says unpleasant things, and does not
mind giving pain. Indeed, if he is a really true friend he prefers it, for he
knows that then he is doing good.
17.
Realize that it's never too late.
“You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how
soon it will be too late.” Ralph Waldo Emerson
The time for action is now. It's never too late
to do something.
18. Do
ordinary things in an extraordinary way.
“Success is doing ordinary things
extraordinarily well.” Jim Rohn
When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary
project, all your thoughts break their bonds: Your mind transcends limitations,
your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new,
great, and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive,
and your discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed
yourself to be.
19.
Have health and hope and happiness.
“The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn
for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles, but to live in
the present moment wisely and earnestly.” Buddha quotes
Never let go of hope. One day you will see that it
all has finally come together. What you have always wished for has finally come
to be. You will look back and laugh at what has passed and you will ask
yourself... 'How did I get through all of that?
“There is only one happiness in
this life, to love and be loved.” George Sand
I asked God for strength that I might achieve. I
was made weak that I might learn humbly to obey. I asked for health that I
might do greater things. I was given infirmity that I might do better things. I
asked for riches that I might be happy. I was given poverty that I might be
wise. I asked for power that I might have the praise of men. I was given
weakness that I might feel the need of God. I asked for all things that I might
enjoy life. I was given life that I might enjoy all things. I got nothing that
I asked for, but everything I hoped for. Almost despite myself, my unspoken
prayers were answered. I am, among all men, most richly blessed.
20.
Take the time to wish upon a star.
“Dreams do come true, if we only wish hard enough. You can
have anything in life if you will sacrifice everything else for it.” James
Matthew Barrie
“There is hope in dreams, imagination, and in the
courage of those who wish to make those dreams a reality.”
AND DON’T EVER FORGET FOR EVEN ONE DAY HOW SPECIAL YOU
ARE!
