I’m reading the book Over the Top by Zig Ziglar and he has a great quote at the beginning of one of the chapters:
The most important opinion you have is the one you have of yourself, and the most significant things you say all day are the things you say to yourself. ~ Anonymous
No matter what your spiritual beliefs are, the following quote is very true.
The person who sends out positive thoughts activates the world around him positively and draws back to himself positive results.
- Norman Vincent Peale
Here is a quote that I think we can all agree with:
“A baby is God’s opinion that the world should go on.” – Carl Sandburg
I was looking back at something I wrote a few years ago and I think it applies to today as well.
******************************************************************************
To be wronged is nothing unless you continue to remember it. ~Confucius
I don’t know about you, but I have a big problem handling regret. It is so easy for me to tell myself that I didn’t do the right thing in a particular situation. For example, I know that I could have done a better job raising my children. Often, I wonder if I did things that will have a long-term bad effect on them. Maybe it’s my personality, but I tend to relive experiences and think about how I should have handled them.
After having been in remission for some time, one of my neighbors is very ill with cancer. The ambulance has been to her house several times over the last month and she’s not doing too well at the moment. I can only imagine how terrible I would feel if a member of my family were suffering this way–but her husband always has a smile on his face. Whenever we speak about his wife and her condition, he chats in such a friendly manner. If I didn’t know what he is going through with his wife right now, I would never guess his situation. I know that he must suffer a great deal inside but he is showing the world a positive face.
