Encouraging thoughts
 

I figured I'd start a thread for people who might need encouraging thoughts. All it takes is a simple phrase for someones day to turn from gloomy to bright. Feel free to post anything you feel might be benificial to others.


Mine-

The Power of Attitude:

"Our lives are not determined by what happenes to us, but by how we react to what happens; not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a catalyst...a spark that creates extraordinary results."

Great thread!:)

I collect quotes and I'm definately adding that one to my collection. Besides that, I'm having a really hard time right now and reading that was appropriate and encouraging.

Thanks:)

Hold your head up you silly girl
Look what you've done
When you find yourself in the thick of it
Help yourself to a bit of what is all around you
Silly girl

Hey! Just wanted to compliment UF_Pike on this thread. I think it's a pretty cool gesture...especially since I'm having a crappy day today!

I love this song! And I LOVE the beatles and Paul! I saw him in concert in May!

I'm sorry, I just wanted to add this!

UF_PikePC98, thanks for starting this thread. I'm with all the others that it really does help to read these kind of words... I think I'm going to read this every day... and maybe add to it when I can actually think of something positive...

This one is a favorite when things seem to be in the distant:


Perseverance:

" In the confrontation between the stream and the rock, the stream always wins...not through strength, but through persistence."

"Don't worry, be happy"

One of my sisters sent this to me at my absolute lowest point, and since then it always brings me up :) I don't know who said it though.


The friends who can be silent with us in a moment of dispair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing - and face with us the reality of our powerlessness - those are the friends who really care.

It's that weather up there that stresses people out......


Cheer up.....soon you'll be in Florida and having bright sunshining days!:D :D :D :D ;) :cool:
