Not everyone who extends to you a hand with goodwill offer is a friend, likewise, neither is the man who criticizes you necessarily a foe”

Life in spite of its imperfections is worth living. It is our greatest possession!
Lost Chance
I caught a glimpse of your face,
Saw the sad reflection of your smile,
And the longing in your eyes,
It spoke the question you were afraid to ask.
It is all so painful, the memories of the past.
When love was right before your eyes you chose not to see
Thinking only of your youth and the need to be free.
The years have gone by and you are all alone
You yearn for something that is no longer there.
Isn’t it funny how we never realize what we have
until we lose it?
Words of Wisdom and Inspirational Quotes
The happiest of people don’t necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. -[ Karen S Magee
Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.”- Dali Lama
Anger or hatred is like a fisherman’s hook. It is very important for us to ensure we are not caught by it.” – Dali Lama
Allowing the truth of who you are–your spiritual self–to rule your life means you stop the struggle and learn to move with the flow of your life.” – Oprah Winfrey

“When things go wrong as they sometime will,
When the road you’re trudging
Seems all up hill,
When funds are low,
And the debts are high,
And you want to smile,
But you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow—
You may succeed with another blow,
Success is failure turned inside out—
The silver tint of the cloud of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you are hardest hit;
It’s when things seems worst that you must
Not quit”-[Unknown
Life Still Has A Meaning
If there is a future there is time for mending-
Time to see your troubles coming to an ending.
Life is never hopeless however great your sorrow-
If you’re looking forward to a new tomorrow.
If there is time for wishing then there is time for hoping-
When through doubt and darkness you are blindly groping.
Though the heart be heavy and hurt you may be feeling-
If there is time for praying there is time for healing.
So if through your window there is a new day breaking-
Thank God for the promise, though mind and soul be aching,
If with harvest over there is grain enough for gleaning-
There is a new tomorrow and life still has meaning.

I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind.
Some come from ahead and some come from behind.
But I’ve bought a big bat. I’m all ready you see.
Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!”~ Dr. Seuss
The Best You Can Be {By Clay Harrison}
We can strive for perfection
But we’re destined to fail,
It’s an impossible dream
in search of a grail,
But we must have a dream,
Be the best we can be,
For character is measured
By our efforts, you see,
You cannot cross an ocean
Until you set sail,
And you can’t win a race,
If you think you will fail.
We won’t win every race,
That’s easy to see,
But you’re a winner by being
The best you can be.
Proverbs 23 V 29-35
Who has anguish? Who has sorrow? Who is always complaining? Who has unnecessary bruises? Who has bloodshot eyes? It is the one who spends long hours in the tavern, trying out new drinks? Don’t gaze at the wine, see how red it is, how it sparkle in the cup, how smoothly it goes down. For in the end it bites like a poisonous snake; it stings like a viper. You will see hallucinations, and you will say crazy things. You will stagger like a sailor tossed at sea clinging to a swaying mast. And you will say “They hit me, but I didn’t feel it. I didn’t even know when they beat me up. When will I wake up so I can go for another drink?

“It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him the words: “And this, too, shall pass away.””
