"If it doesn't effect you, why let it affect you?"
Written in 2007 by Chastity Godsey --- Indiana
I came up with this quote after becoming tired of co-workers and friends getting upset over things that really didn't have anything to do with them. In essence, this quote basically says if it doesn't have an effect on you personally then why let it bother you at all?

"Life is a struggle and life can be so unfair. You get up in the morning dreading to get up but you know you must... You must face the day... You look around and you see that there are people in this life that have struggled much worse then you... They are sad and you look at their face and wonder what is wrong. You want to hold their hand, give them a hug but you are afraid... We all need love, we all need to feel loved and wanted. Do not ignore this face, a sad face. Comfort this face, give them a smile, a touch, a kind word, and follow your heart. When you follow your heart, you will shine love to this person's heart and your heart will feel love and warmth."

"Cherish your relationship. Sometimes saying 'good night' allows us the privilege of saying 'good morning'."
Copyright © 2008 Adrian Taylor
People often go to bed without saying good night because they have been in an argument or disagreement with their "other". The next day starts off bad and people live out that day as if the bitterness and resentment is magically going to disappear. Settle things with your "other" BEFORE you fall asleep!



"Until you look at yourself in the mirror of life and hate what you see you will remain in that position."
Author Unknown --- Submitted by Bassey Ndon --- Nigeria
Life does reflect you and what you do. The real you is not who you see in the mirror but who you see yourself as in your mind. Your mind reflects you. If you don't like what you see in the mirror, then change the picture of it or edit it. The truth about life is that you are editable if you place focus on the man in the mind more than the man in the mirror. See yourself as you want to be, not as who you are presently.



"You can't talk your way out of what you've behaved yourself into."
Steven Covey
