Inspirational quotes to start your day
Inspirational quotes to start your day
You have complete control over only one thing in the universe — your thinking! The way you think and feel about yourself determines everything that happens to you. So you have a choice to start your day right!
Not one hair of a sparrow falls to the ground without God knowing it... YOU are worth much, much more than a sparrow.
Never underestimate the importance of having a person in your life who can always make you smile.
When life gets rough, HANG ON! Somehow, someway, things will turn out right. That which we are, we are... made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive... to seak... to find -- and NOT TO YIELD!
Today is the first day of the rest of my life.
The real HERO is the man who is AFRAID, yet still dares to take every risk.
GOD, grant me the SERENITY to change the things I can, the COURAGE to accept the things that I can't... and the WISDOM to know the difference.
Your Dad Is Right
Your Dad Is Right
Sometimes, what you think is “crazy”, is in reality, the truth…
Your 30’s, 40’s and 50’s won’t feel like your 30’s, 40’s and 50’s – Adults are just older children. When you get older you won’t feel as old as you imagine you will. For the most part, you still feel exactly the way you feel right now, just a little wiser and more confident.
Bad things will happen to you and your friends – People lose jobs, get in car accidents and sometimes die. When you’re younger, this harsh reality can be hard to visualize.
Everyone can make a huge difference – Making one person smile can change the world. Maybe not the whole world, but their world. So start small and start now.
Big results come when you narrow your focus – Concentrate your efforts on smaller and smaller areas. When your efforts are diffused over a wide area they won’t have much of an impact.
Little things stick with you – So pay attention to them. Like watching your child sleep.
Preparing a meal with your family. Sharing a great laugh with an old friend. This is the real stuff life is made of.
Sometimes you just have to go for it – In 40 years from now what will you regret not having accomplished, appreciated or attempted? Do it, appreciate it and attempt it NOW!
Not much is worth fighting about – If you can avoid it, don’t fight. Step back from arguments. Let yourself calm down. You don’t have to be right or win an argument. It just doesn’t matter.
Don’t try to impress everyone – Purposely impressing people brings nothing but a momentary ego boost. Be real with people instead. Connect with people on a deeper level.
Less advice is often the best advice – People don’t need lots of advice, they need to live.
I’ve seen rocky relationships develop into wonderful marriages and fleeting inspirations ignite a lifetime of passion and happiness. We all need time to think to explore the undirected journeys that will help us find our direction.
Love yourself. Become your own priority – Strive to be the ‘you’ you want to be.
One Witty Poodle
One Witty Poodle
A wealthy older woman decides to go on a photo safari to Africa, and takes her faithful aged poodle, Cuddles, along for the company.
One day the poodle starts chasing butterflies and before long, Cuddles discovers that he’s lost. Wandering about, he notices a young leopard heading rapidly in his direction with the intention of having him for lunch.
The old poodle thinks, ‘Oh, oh! I’m in deep trouble!’
Noticing some bones on the ground close by, he immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as the leopard is about to pounce, the old poodle exclaims loudly, “Boy, that was one delicious leopard! I wonder if there are any more around here?”
Hearing this, the young leopard halts his attack in mid-strike. A look of terror comes over him and he quietly slinks away into the trees. “Whew!” says the leopard, “That was close! That old poodle nearly had me for lunch!”
Meanwhile, a monkey, who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from the leopard. So off he goes. But the old poodle sees him heading after the leopard with great speed, and figuring that something must be up, follows in pursuit.
The monkey soon catches up with the leopard, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the leopard. The young leopard is furious at being made a fool of and says, “Here, monkey. Hop on my back and come see what’s going to happen to that conniving canine!”
Now the old poodle sees the leopard coming with the monkey on his back and thinks, “What am I going to do now?” But instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attacker, pretending he doesn’t see them.
Just when they get close enough to hear, the old poodle says with an impatient voice, “Where the heck is that monkey? I sent him off over an hour ago to bring me another leopard!”
Upon hearing it, the young leopard pounced angrily on the surprised monkey before taking off in great fear.
Don’t mess with old folks! Age and wisdom will always overcome youth and skill! Bull and brilliance only come with age and experience.
Transpo In Heaven
Transpo In Heaven
Three men died and went to heaven. At the gate St. Peter tells them, “Before you go into heaven, we are going to give you each a vehicle with which to get around. The way we determine what type of vehicle you will get is by how faithful you were to your wives. Now,” he says, turning to the first man, “were you true to your wife?”
“Yes, I was, St. Peter,” says the first man. “I never strayed. From the day I married her to the day I died, I slept with no woman other than my wife. I loved her very deeply.”
“As reward for your complete fidelity,” says St. Peter, “I now give you these keys to a beautiful Roll-Royce.”
The man happily accepts the keys, and St. Peter turns to the second man. “Sir,” he says, “were you faithful to you wife?” “Well, I must admit that when I was much younger, I did stray once or twice. But I did love my wife very much, and I was completely faithful until my dying day.”
St. Peter looks down at the man and says, “As a reward for good marital conduct, I am giving you these keys to a Pontiac.”
As the man takes the keys from his St. Peter turns to the third man. “Sir,” he says, “were you faithful to you wife?” “St. Peter, I screwed everything I could, every chance I got. There wasn’t a week of my marriage that I didn’t sleep with someone other than, wife. But I must admit to you, St. Peter, that it was a problem I had, because I really did love my wife very much.”
“Well,” says St. Peter, “we do know that you did love your wife and that does count for something.” With that he rolls out a ten-speed bicycle and gives it to the man. The gates of heaven open, and the three men enter
Sometime later the man on the bicycle is riding along, when he sees that the man with the Rolls Royce has pulled over and is sitting on the bumper of his car. He is sobbing uncontrollably. The man pulls his bicycle up next to the man and says, “Hey, pal, what’s the matter? What could possibility be wrong? You have a beautiful Rolls Royce to drive around in?”
“I know,” says the man through his sobs, “but I just saw my wife on roller skates!”

Life Is Not A Race…
Too many people put off something that brings them joy just because they haven’t thought about it, don’t have it on their schedule, didn’t know it was coming or are too rigid to depart from their routine.
I got to thinking one day about all those women on the Titanic who passed up dessert at dinner that fateful night in an effort to cut back. From then on, I’ve tried to be a little more flexible.
How many women out there will eat at home because their husband didn’t suggest going out to dinner until after something had been thawed? Does the word “refrigeration” mean nothing to you?
How often have your kids dropped in to talk and sat in silence while you watched ‘Jeopardy’ on television?
I cannot count the times I called my sister and said, “How about going to lunch in a half hour?” She would gas up and stammer, “I can’t. I have clothes on the line. My hair is dirty. I wish I had known yesterday, I had a late breakfast, It looks like rain.” And my personal favorite: “It’s Monday.”… She died a few years ago. We never did have lunch together.
Because people cram so much into their lives, we tend to schedule our headaches.. We live on a sparse diet of promises we make to ourselves when all the conditions are perfect!
We’ll go back and visit the grandparents when we get Stevie toilet-trained. We’ll entertain when we replace the living-room carpet. We’ll go on a second honeymoon when we get two more kids out of college.
Life has a way of accelerating as we get older. The days get shorter, and the list of promises to ourselves gets longer. One morning, we awaken, and all we have to show for our lives is a litany of “I’m going to,” “I plan on,” and “Someday, when things are settled down a bit.”
When anyone calls my ‘seize the moment’ friend, she is open to adventure and available for trips. She keeps an open mind on new ideas. Her enthusiasm for life is contagious. You talk with her for five minutes, and you’re ready to trade your bad feet for a pair of Rollerblades and skip an elevator for a bungee cord.
My lips have not touched ice cream in 10 years. I love ice cream. It’s just that I might as well apply it directly to my stomach with a spatula and eliminate the digestive process. The other day, I stopped the car and bought a triple-decker. If my car had hit an iceberg on the way home, I would have died happy.
Now… go on and have a nice day. Do something you WANT to… .not something on your SHOULD DO list.
If you were going to die soon and had only one phone call you could make, who would you call and what would you say?
And why are you waiting for that time to come?
* * * * * * *
”Life may not be the party we hoped for… but while we are here we might as well dance!
Have you ever watched kids playing on a merry go round or listened to the rain lapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly’s erratic flight or gazed at the sun into the fading night? Do you run through each day on the fly? When you ask “How are you?” Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done, do you lie in your bed with the next hundred chores running through your head?
Ever told your child, “We’ll do it tomorrow.”
And in your haste, not see his sorrow? Ever lost touch? Let a good friendship die? Just call to say “Hi”?
When you worry and hurry through your day, it is like an unopened gift… thrown away!
Life is not a race. Take it slower. Hear the music before the song is over.
”Life may not be the party we hoped for… but while we are here we might as well dance!

A Very Short Story Of Friendship
A Very Short Story Of Friendship
It happened a long time ago – a wonderful reminder of what friends are really for:
They are there for you. Always.
In WWI an English soldier watched in horror how his lifelong friend fell under gunfire and they have to retreat. The soldier went to ask permission from the lieutenant to go and fetch his friend from the no-mans-land.
The lieutenant gave permission, but added:
“It is hardly worth it. Your friend is probably dead and you may die too.”
The soldier did not care about the warnings and miraculously he did reach his friend, lifted him to his shoulders and stumbled back. He was wounded in the process.
The lieutenant helped them to safety and noticed the soldier´s friend was dead.
“I am sorry for your friend – but I told you it was not worth it. Your friend is dead and now you are also seriously wounded.”
“I have to disagree with you. It was worth it”, the soldier answered.
“What ever do you mean?” the lieutenant wondered.
“It was worth it”, the soldier repeated. “When I got to my friend, he was still alive and said ´Jim, I knew you would never leave me.´ “
There is a saying that friendship is one soul dwelling in two bodies. And true friendship indeed is like that.
A friends knows your good and weak points, has the courage to point out to you even painful things you need to see, and is willing to share in your joys and sorrows. They brighten up your day by their mere existence.
Friends are like flowers in the garden of life. --CTTO

Winning Is Not Everything
Winning Is Not Everything
Remember this Kenyan runner, Abel Mutai, who was just a few feet from the finish line, but became confused with the signage and stopped, thinking he had completed the race.
A Spanish runner, Ivan Fernandez, was right behind him and, realizing what was happening, started shouting at the Kenyan to continue running.
Mutai didn't know Spanish and didn't understand.
Realizing what was taking place, Fernandez pushed Mutai to victory.
After the race, a journalist approached Ivan and asked, "Why did you do that?"
Ivan replied, "My dream is that someday we can have a kind of community life where we push and help each other to win."
The journalist insisted "But why did you let the Kenyan win?"
Ivan replied, "I didn't let him win, he was going to win. The race was his."
The journalist once more insisted, and again asked, "But you could have won!"
Ivan looked at him and replied, "But what would be the merit of my victory? What would be the honor in that medal? What would my Mother think of that?"
Values are passed on from generation to generation. What values are we teaching our children?
Let us not teach our kids the wrong ways and means to WIN.
Instead, let us pass on the beauty and humanity of a helping hand. Because honesty and ethics are WINNING!

You Are Worth Much More Than A Sparrow.
You Are Worth Much More Than A Sparrow.
"Are not five sparrows sold for two small coins? Yet not one of them has escaped the notice of God. Even the hairs of your head have all been counted. Do not be afraid. You are worth more than many sparrows.” -- Luke 12:1-7
GOD KNOWS. God knows our motives, our agenda. He also knows our suffering and sacrifices. He cares and he desires to lead us to the right path and to the fulfillment of His purpose for our lives.
"In Christ we were also chosen, destined in accord with the purpose of the One who accomplishes all things according to the intention of his will, so that we might exist for the praise of his glory, we who first hoped in Christ." -- St Paul in his letter to the Ephesians 1:11-14
May we live in awe of the preciousness of life. May we live in trust and faith "For upright is the word of the Lord,and all his works are trustworthy. He loves justice and right;" [Psalm 33]

The Teacher
The Teacher
An old man meets a young man who asks, “Do you remember me?” And the old man says no. Then the young man tells him he was his student. The teacher asks, “What do you do, what do you do in life?” The young man answers, “Well, I became a teacher.”
“Ah, how good, like me?” asks the old man. “Well, yes, replied the young man. "In fact, I became a teacher because you inspired me to be like you.”
The old man, curious, asks the young man at what time he decided to become a teacher. And the young man tells him the following story:
“One day, a friend of mine, also a student, came in with a nice new watch, and I decided I wanted it and I stole it, I took it out of his pocket. Shortly after, my friend noticed the flight and immediately complained to our teacher, who was you. Then you went to the class.
"This student's watch was stolen during classes today. Whoever stole it, please return it."
I didn't give it back because I didn't want to. Then you closed the door and told us all to get up and you were going to search our pockets one by one until the watch was found. But you told us to close our eyes because you would only look for his watch if we all had our eyes closed.
So we did, and you went from pocket to pocket, and when you went through my pocket, you found the watch and took it. You kept searching everyone's pockets, and when you were done you said,
"Open your eyes. We have the watch."
You didn't tell me and you never mentioned the episode. You never said who stole the watch either. That day you saved my dignity forever. It was the most shameful day of my life.
But this is also the day my dignity was saved and I decided not to become a thief, a bad person, etc. You never said anything, nor even scold me or took me aside to give me a moral lesson, I received your message clearly.
"And thanks to you, I understood what a real educator needs to do. Do you remember this episode, professor?"
And the professor answers, "I remember the situation, the stolen watch, which I was looking for in everyone’s pocket, but I didn't remember you, because I also closed my eyes while looking."
This is the essence of teaching:

Moving Pictures
“We take pictures because we can't accept that everything passes, we can't accept that the repetition of a moment is an impossibility. We wage a monotonous war against our own impending deaths, against time that turns children into that other, lesser species: adults. We take pictures because we know we will forget. We will forget the week, the day, the hour. We will forget when we were happiest. We take pictures out of pride, a desire to have the best of ourselves preserved. We fear that we will die and others will not know we lived.”
― Michelle Richmond, The Year of Fog
Every child comes with the message that God is not yet discouraged with man.
Every child comes with the message that God is not yet discouraged with man.
A little shepherd boy was watching his sheep one Sunday morning and he heard the bells of the church ringing. And watching the people walk along the pasture where he was, he happened to think to himself, “I would like to communicate with God! But, what can I say to God?”
He had never learned a prayer. So, on bended knee, he began to recite the alphabet. Repeating this prayer several times, a man passing by, heard the boy’s voice and peaked through the bushes. He saw the young boy kneeling with folded hands, eyes closed, repeating the alphabet.
He interrupted the boy. “What are you doing, my little one?” he asked.
The boy replied, “I was praying sir.” The man seemed surprised and said, “But why are you reciting the alphabet?”
The boy explained, “I don’t know any prayers, sir. But I want God to take care of me, and to help me care for my sheep. And so I thought, if I said all I knew, He could put the letters together into words, and He would know all that I want and should say!”
The man smiled and said, “Bless your heart, God will!” And he went on to church knowing full well that he had heard the finest sermon he could possibly hear that day.
Maybe if we thought like little children and let God put together the letters, what we should want, and what we should say, things would probably work out a lot better than we planned!!!

Murphy’s Law
Murphy’s Law
Take your hat of Murphy. He’s probably the greatest genius of the century. His law “If anything can go wrong, it will.” has proven to be true. Under any condition, in any place at any time.
For example, why does it always rain on a that warm summer day when you plan to go out on a picnic or whenever you forgot to bring your raincoat. And when you do remember to bring an umbrella, the sun shines as if there is no tomorrow.
There is no way to escape this course or curse as it may be. People have often objected to high heavens and cry “Why me?” and it sort of become somewhat of a paranoia already. And why not! Just when you are in the middle of an exam, suddenly you feel this urge to go to the restroom to relieve yourself. You run out of bond paper just when you need to type a very urgent and important report. The water suddenly runs out in the middle of a soapy bath. And why is it that when you are hurrying to go to someplace, the same route will take thrice as long due to unexpected traffic.
So stop being bitter and mad at such ridiculous situations for fear that a lot of other things may go wrong. Learn to smile or even laugh at yourself and surrender to your faithful fate. Dare not ask “What else can go wrong?” For there’s a million of other things that can go wrong. CTTO: Bambi Rosales

Wearing a mask is my way of saying “I CARE ABOUT YOU.” Not forever, but for now, it seems best. I wear a mask in public, not for me, but for YOU.
● Wearing a mask doesn’t make me weak, scared, stupid, or controlled. It makes me considerate.
● I want you to know I am educated enough to know I could be asymptomatic and still give you the virus.
● I DON'T “LIVE IN FEAR” of the virus; I WANT TO BE PART OF THE SOLUTION -- NOT THE PROBLEM!
● NOT ATTENDING REUNIONS, CELEBRATIONS or even the wake of a dearly beloved who has passed away, DOESN'T MEAN I'M BEING INCONSIDERATE, it means I'm thinking about everybody's safety.
● The world doesn’t revolve around me. It’s not all about me and my comfort.
● Just because you are fortunate enough to cope up with this pandemic, doesn't mean everybody is doing the same.
● If we all could live with other people's consideration in mind, this whole world would be a much better place.
● When you think about how you look, how uncomfortable it is, or what others think of you, imagine someone close to you - a father, a mother, grandparent, aunt, or uncle - choking on a respirator or worse... gone to soon.
Ask yourself if you could have sucked it up a little for them. <CTTO>
Sketches In Time
Sketches In Time
Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.
--Pablo Picasso
Sketching is the breath of art: it is the most refreshing of all the more impulsive forms of creative self-expression and, as such, it should be as free, and happy, as a song in the bath.
--Mervyn Levy
Drawing is the honesty of the art. There is no possibility of cheating. It is either good or bad.
--Salvador Dali
“I believe that every human being should try to do good for someone else. There are so many different ways to do it. My art can be an instrument for helping people… What a good feeling.”
--Romero Britto
