Wisdom for the Soul
Wisdom for the Soul
1. No one can ruin your day without YOUR permission. 2. Most people will be about as happy as they decide to be. 3. Others can stop you temporarily, but only you can do it permanently. 4. Whatever you are willing to put up with, is exactly what you will have. 5. Success stops when you do. 6. When your ship comes in. ... make sure you are willing to unload it. 7. You will never "have it all together." 8. Life is a journey... not a destination. Enjoy the trip! 9.The biggest lie on the planet: "When I get what I want I will be happy." 10.The best way to escape your problem is to solve it. 11.I've learned that ultimately 'takers' lose and 'givers' win. 12.Life's precious moments don't have value, unless they are shared. 13. If you don't start, it's certain you won't arrive. 14.We often fear the thing we want the most. 15.Everyone hears what you say. Friends listen to what you have to say. Best friends listen to what you don't say! 16.Yesterday was the deadline for all complaints. 17.Look for opportunities...not guarantees. 18.Life is what's coming....not what was. 19.Success is getting up one more time. 20.Now is the most interesting time of all. 21.When things go wrong.....don't go with them. 22. Sometimes the majority only means that all the fools are on the same side. 23. God can mend all broken hearts. You just have to give Him all the pieces. 24. A person who asks a question might be a fool for five minutes, but a person who doesn't ask, is a fool forever. 25. A best friend is like a four leaf clover... hard to find, and lucky to have. 26. A friend is someone who reaches for your hand but touches your heart. 27. A coincidence is when God performs a miracle, and decides to remain anonymous. 28. I don't have to attend every argument I'm invited to. 29. Your worst days are never so bad that you are beyond the reach of God's grace... and your best days are never so good that you are beyond the need of God's grace. 30. Our eyes are placed in front because it is more important to look ahead than to look back. http://www.animated-gifs.eu/christma...eries/0013.gif |
IF I KNEW http://www.angelwinks.ca/images/kid1.jpg If I knew it would be the last time That I'd see you fall asleep, I would tuck you in more tightly and pray the Lord, your soul to keep. If I knew it would be the last time that I see you walk out the door, I would give you a hug and kiss and call you back for one more. If I knew it would be the last time I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise, I would video tape each action and word, so I could play them back day after day. If I knew it would be the last time, I could spare an extra minute to stop and say "I love you," instead of assuming you would KNOW I do. If I knew it would be the last time I would be there to share your day, Well I'm sure you'll have so many more, so I can let just this one slip away. For surely there's always tomorrow to make up for an oversight, and we always get a second chance to make everything just right. There will always be another day to say "I love you," And certainly there's another chance to say our "Anything I can do?" But just in case I might be wrong, and today is all I get, I'd like to say how much I love you and I hope we never forget. Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike, And today may be the last chance you get to hold your loved one tight. So if you're waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today? For if tomorrow never comes, you'll surely regret the day, That you didn't take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss and you were too busy to grant someone, what turned out to be their one last wish. So hold your loved ones close today, and whisper in their ear, Tell them how much you love them and that you'll always hold them dear Take time to say "I'm sorry," "Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "It's okay." And if tomorrow never comes, you'll have no regrets about today. |
Journey To Soul's Bottom
Journey to Soul's Bottom http://www.animated-gifs.eu/christmas-wreaths/0069.gif Once you have awoken it, The beast no longer sleeps. It feasts upon your very soul. What secret vows it keeps. Babies birthed into its grasp, Stare with solemn eyes. Knowing only shame and guilt, Quick is their demise. Family bonds are fractured, Children's cries, unheard. Truth is unrecognizable. Life is such a blur. The path, once light, is darker. Each breath brings forth a test. Bleary eyed you travel on. The beast is on a quest. Consuming your ambitions, Replacing them with pain. Your emotions now are tempered. Your mind, now its domain Promises quick to wither. Sometimes, forever doomed. Thoughts become a mangled mess, Where evil spirits loom. Many lives it does devour, Trading drugs for souls. Its hunger grows with each new day. Addiction takes its toll. - Author Unknown to me - received from a friend. |

http://www.animated-gifs.eu/meteo-christmas/0031.gif I was shown a fledgling learning how to fly. Its first efforts were very feeble, but as it used its wings more and more, they became stronger until it found the freedom of flight and was able to soar to great heights and fly great distances without any effort. I heard the words: Faith comes with practice. Live by faith until it becomes rocklike, unshakable, and find the true freedom of the Spirit. --Eileen Caddy |

My life is unmanageable when managed by me. I need honest criticism. A lot of it is how it is given, the tone spoken, the attitudes behind the words, and if it is loving and from the heart, if not it can be a turmoil of emotions. |

Being open to other concepts than my own was not an easy task for Ms. Perfection. To let go of the old tapes that had been playing in my head for years, to learn not to give them creadence, but recognize them for what they were and put them aside for an alternative solution wasn't easy. When you have been told for years about 'life' from people you thought were "in the know" only to find that their truth didn't work for you, was a difficult concept to grasp. I had become very introverted and to open myself up meant to become vulnerable, and fear of being hurt again made me want to build the wall higher instead of removing the bricks so I could see beyond what was in front of me. |

The Hand of Faith http://xa.yimg.com/kq/groups/1128633...26456/name/n_a God speaks sometimes through our circumstances and guides us, closing doors as well as opening them. He will let you know what you must do, and what you must be. He is waiting for you to touch Him. The hand of faith is enough. - Peter Marshall http://s14052.storage.proboards.com/...BlgPAEL15M.jpg God answer knee-mail. I will never forget the day that I was so stressed, shaking, fearful of the situation. I detach from it, went to my bedroom, knelt beside my bed, and I felt the Hand of God touch me. I felt the peace go from the top of my head to the tip of my toes. I was able to get up and handle the situation. God is Good. Good is God. |

Have also realized as a result of my own personal quest, that every where I went, looking for Him, I found Him. He didn't follow me, I wasn't following Him, He was with me. Everywhere I went, He was there. It was up to me to acknowledge Him and build a working relationship with Him. Ironically, the place I often talk to Him the most is in the bathroom.

Posted on another site in 2012. Here are my today's thoughts of the topic.
I can't, God can, just for today, I choose to let Him. Translation: Steps 1, 2, and 3 Waltz, something I have to do every day. I came to the fellowship, not know what was wrong, didn't feel like there was a solution, my thoughts were "Stop the world I want to get off" and I found hope. I came to realize that only by a spiritual process could I stop and stay stopped. It was a we program and I no longer was alone. I found that as long as I had a desire to put my life in my God's care, I would learn to understand Him and me. That was where recovery began, working Steps 4-9, and maintaining my sobriety (soundness of mind), I applied Steps 10, 11 and 12 to my life, one day at a time. http://www.animated-gifs.eu/mammals-elephants/0274.gif |

As it says in the reading, that it doesn't happen over night. We didn't get this way overnight. We have a lot of fears and phobia to overcome. A lot of mixed messages to identify and accept or reject according to the person we want to be in today. Trust that through my Higher Power I will know what is good for me. If I turn my day over, then I will get the Good Orderly Direction that I need daily. Divine Orderly Good will be there if I am willing to acknowledge it and apply it to my life. Through trusting a Higher Power, I can learn to trust myself. To hear those Messages and know what is my God's will for me. When I think of an abrasion on my body, I know that it has to heal inside and out. It has many layers, and often when it scabs over, I think it is okay and yet, if I were to take off the scab, I would recognize raw skin underneath. The same with us, many things have underlying issues that we need to deal with. It is seldom one thing, often compounded interest from something that goes way back, which we only recognize in today. One day at a time, life doesn't get better, I do. |
First of all, I am trying to speak American!
Secondly, I was doing a Zen meditation and asked if it was possible to find a common denominator, so that everyone could find common ground and identify and the word I got was "Wishful thinking!" Quote:

It is not a certain sequence of causes that brings enlightenment. Your search, your intense longing, your readiness to do anything-altogether perhaps they create a certain aroma around you in which that great accident becomes possible. - Osho Quote:

Because You're Special http://angelwinks.net/images/iq/qcbo...lsoncloud1.jpg I said a prayer for you today to make your spirits soar, I prayed for happiness for you, but then I asked for more. I asked that God would give you the courage that you need to be yourself, to do your best, to dream and to succeed. I prayed that God would bless you with confidence in who you are, because in God's eyes, as in mine, you'll always be a star. - Author Unknown Prayer works. God answers knee-mail. |
Found this on one of my sites while I was looking for some food to calm the soul as I could not sleep.
I am a firm believer in what goes around comes around. What I think, let alone what I say, is put out there and projected onto others and what goes around comes around. It is so important to be honest and open. It is even more important to think good thoughts! I am where I am in today as a result of choices made. That is why I try to make healthy choices in today.

Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. James 1:2-4 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." |

That's not odd, that's God
Grateful for my sobriety, grateful for the gifts of recovery and the tools that I can use to stay clean and sober. I look at those `That`s not odd, that`s God!` moments and try to remember to say thank you. They show me that my God is working in my life. When we stay clean and sober over the holidays, that is not odd, that is God. The normal thing for an alcoholic to do is drink. For me, prescription drugs were like dried up alcohol, I had the same symptoms, more black outs with them that I had with alcohol. It is my God working in my life, doing for me, something I couldn`t do for myself. Recovery isn't always easy, especially when we are in the midst of things. When I get enlightenment and new awareness, I find that my God is working in my life. I like the saying, "Just because you have a feeling, doesn't mean you have to act on it." Also, feel the feelings and do it anyway and my personal favourite and a new one to me, "Just because you get a thought, it doesn't mean it is yours. It could be your Higher Power's or it could be something projected onto you by someone else. Peace on your journey, when we go within and connect to our Higher Power, we can find the calm within the storm. http://www.animated-gifs.eu/mammals-pigs-18/0002.gif |
