"INSPIRATION"
"To live in the presence of great truths and eternal laws, to be led by permanent ideals - that is what keeps a man patient when the world ignores him, and calm and unspoiled when the world praises him."
Honore De Balzac
"A warm smile is the universal language of kindness."
William Arthur Ward
"If you paint in your mind a picture of bright and happy expectations, you put yourself into a condition conducive to your goal."
Norman Vincent Peale

"Be content with what you have rather grieving about what you don't have...it makes your and other's life easier!"

I see many people who are not happy with what they have and regret for their todays, either in relationships or in careers...So it's my heartiest wish to spread this message to them to be happy with what you have.
"Though we are born to be great, it doesn't just come to us; we must work hard to achieve it. Nobody is born a famous man, no one is born a mediocre; we all decide our fate according to the step (steps) we take to achieve what lies in front for us."

Actually this quote is a sentence I am including in an inspirational article which I am writing.
"People need to know, at some point in their relationship with you, that you don't love them just because they fooled you well enough. You don't love them just because they've been able to present the parts of them that they're okay with being known for long enough. At some point, if people are really going to understand how much they matter to God, they have to know that you'll love them even after you know them."

My pastor said this during his service last Sunday and it resonated deep within my heart. It is something that I need to remind myself and remind those around me daily. Remind them that I love them for EXACTLY who they are (the good, the bad AND the ugly) just the way that God loves and knows ME!!
"Children, whose foundations are grounded in the love of both parents, have an active, even acute sense of conscience. They may still choose poorly at times, but they will not enjoy it or its effects. Somewhere in their dawning they will see the light and return again to those values and lifestyles the parents have so compellingly and sacrificially laid out for them."

It reminds me of the times I wondered and worried if all the strivings for right and being a good example to my children would have a lasting impact. As my children have survived the "finding themselves" years and grown into wonderful adults, spouses and parents I am relieved and deeply grateful to see that it was all worth it.

"The unreal is more powerful than the real, because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. Because it's only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles. Wood rots. People, well, they die. But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on."

"Nothing in life is too hard to accomplish if you work hard at it and put your all into the legacy you'll leave behind."

"If you ever think that you're all alone, that no one notices or no one cares, remember this: God sees you, He understands, and He can make things better."

"What's happiness without sadness? What's light without darkness? You never can tell a positive thing without going through a negative thing. If you've been to the deepest valley in your life, then you will be very appreciative when you reached the highest peak in your life."
