"All experiences have the ability to make us wiser if we choose to let them."
Written in 2009 by Allyson Partridge --- Canada
It's not the details of my experiences that I find the most important, it's the lesson I've learned from them.

If only we will take responsibility for what it is we are to do, the world would be a better place than we met it.
"You simply will not be the same person two months from now after consciously giving thanks each day for the abundance that exists in your life. And you will have set in motion an ancient spiritual law: the more you have and are grateful for, the more will be given you."
Sarah Ban Breathnach
"If only people who worry about their liabilities would think about the riches they do possess, they would stop worrying. Would you sell both your eyes for a million dollars... or your two legs... or your hands... or your hearing? Add up what you do have, and you'll find that you won't sell them for all the gold in the world. The best things in life are yours, if you can appreciate yourself."
Dale Carnegie
"If you can't be thankful for what you receive, be thankful for what you escape."

"Stop picking up hitchhikers... they're not going where you are going; they're just trying to get closer to where they are going. In other words, the ride isn't about you or your destination, it's only about them and theirs. So find out who the hitchhikers are in your life and get rid of them!"

"There is more than one door into wonder."

I enjoy the rhyme of one door and wonder, and I think the message is inspiring. Creativity can be found in all sorts of places.
"Sacrificing and settling are not synonymous. When you sacrifice, you give up something in order to gain something better. When you settle, you compromise on something while sacrificing your opportunity to get something better. Make sure you settle and sacrifice for something worth it."

It's one of my personal thoughts that I wrote my journal one day that gets me through personal struggles with sacrifice versus settle.
Everyone is the same yet everyone is different
Everyone gets scared
Everyone has fears
Everyone has been afraid
Everyone has shed tears
Everyone
Everyone who lives has thought about love
Everyone who wonders has peered up above
Everyone
Everyone has overcome hate
Everyone struggles to forgive
Everyone has had a heated debate
They just can't seem to win
Everyone
Everyone gets ill
Everyone has to sleep
Everyone wants to feel special
No one wants to be sold cheap
No one!
Everyone gets pain
Everyone experiences sadness
Everyone has a chain... a chain of madness
Yes
Everyone
Everyone has been angry
Everyone has been disappointed
Everyone has been hungry
Everyone has been dehydrated
Everyone gets older
Everyone becomes wiser
Everyone gets colder as winter draws closer
Everyone wants what they want
Everyone expects their needs
Everyone would like to be remembered
For their talents and fine deeds
Everyone has something to offer
Everyone is different
So share something good with someone
Everyone has something good to share
Everyone

"Life is what we make it and we shall find what we look for. If we look for sadness and trouble, if we are in a frame of mind to magnify little difficulties, we shall find plenty to engross our thought and our conversation."
E.G. White --- Submitted by Valentine Benjamin --- South Africa
If we look on the bright side of things, we shall find enough to make us cheerful and happy. If we give smiles, they will be returned to us; if we speak pleasant, cheerful words, they will be spoken to us again.
