Serenity isn't freedom from the storm; it's peace within the storm.
Forgiveness is the fragrance that the flower leaves on the heel of the one that crushed it.
Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow. It empties today of its strength.
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.
The task ahead of us is never as great as the Power within us.
No one can choose your mountain or tell you when to climb. It's yours alone to challenge, at your own pace and time.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles, and they can become your blessings.
The goal of recovery is balance, but sometimes we get there by going to extremes.
Put as much energy into Letting Go as you have in trying to control. You'll get much better results.
We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.
Accepting doesn't necessarily mean liking, enjoying, or condoning. I can accept the reality of what is -- and be determined to evolve from there. It is not acceptance but denial that leaves me stuck.

Hope is the thing with feathers...that perches in the soul...and sings the tune without words...and never stops, at all.
~Emily Dickinson~
Instead of pointing a finger, we should hold out our hand.
We may run, walk, stumble, drive, or fly, but let us never lose sight of the reason for the journey, or miss a chance to see a rainbow on the way.
~Gloria Gaither~
We must each paint our rainbows from the colors we are given.
~Joan Walsh Anglund~
And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.
~Abraham Lincoln~
Regret is an appalling waste of energy; you can't build on it; it's only good for wallowing in.
Learn not to feel threatened by the future...take Life one day at a time.
When you are in doubt, be still and wait. When doubt no longer exists for you, then go forward with courage. So long as mists envelop you, be still. Be still until the sunlight pours through and dispels the mists, as it surely will. Then act with courage. |
