I see things one way, you see them another. That’s great.
We’ll be an unbeatable team.
Manage stress. When stress takes over our lives, everything else falls apart. Our homes get cluttered, our minds get cluttered, and our relationships get strained. Take yourself aside for five minutes and think about your stress levels—how are you managing it? A healthy way of managing stress is doing yoga. If that doesn’t sound appealing, how about meditating? No? Then simply take ten minutes out of your day to just power down. Sit with yourself and just breathe. Make a point to get centered every day.
“I don’t think of all the misery but of the beauty that still remains.”
~ Anne Frank
“Read, read, read. Read everything — trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You’ll absorb it. Then write. If it’s good, you’ll find out. If it’s not, throw it out of the window.”
~ William Faulkner
Serenity
Lord Byron
Here’s a sigh to those who love me
And a smile to those who hate;
And whatever sky’s above me,
Here’s a heart for every fate.
“We have to laugh. Because laughter, we already know, is the first evidence of freedom.”
~ Rosario Castellanos
“Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation.” ~ Brian Tracy
Pete: “How do you like your new job, Joe?”
Joe: “My boss told me that as a security guard, it’s my job to watch the office.”
Pete: “How’s it working out?”
Joe: “I’m watching season 6 now; but I’m not really sure what it’s got to do with security.”
What a great relief, I’m not perfect! I like that.
Success
Berton Brailey
If you want a thing bad enough
To go out and fight for it,
Work day and night for it,
Give up your time and your peace and your sleep for it
If only desire of it
Makes you quite mad enough
Never to tire of it,
Makes you hold all other things tawdry and cheap for it
If life seems all empty and useless without it
And all that you scheme and you dream is about it,
If gladly you’ll sweat for it,
Fret for it,
Plan for it,
Lose all your terror of God or man for it,
If you’ll simply go after that thing that you want,
With all your capacity,
Strength and sagacity,
Faith, hope and confidence, stern pertinacity,
If neither cold poverty, famished and gaunt,
Nor sickness nor pain
Of body or brain
Can turn you away from the thing that you want,
If dogged and grim you besiege and beset it,
You’ll get it!
