Living Green

“Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant” Robert Louis Stevenson via Quote: Robert Louis Stevenson on Living Green | Greatist.com.

Forgiveness and Tolerance

“You can forgive someone almost anything. But you cannot tolerate everything… We don’t have to tolerate what people do just because we forgive them for doing it. Forgiving heals us personally. To tolerate everything only hurts us all in the long run.” Lewis B. Smedes via Today’s Quotes: The Best Revenge is Forgiveness!.

Do The Thing You Fear!

“You have to decide what your highest priorities are and have the courage – pleasantly, smilingly, nonapologetically – to say ‘no’ to other things.  And the way to do that is by having a bigger ‘yes’ burning inside.  The enemy of the ‘best’ is often the ‘good.’” ~  Stephen Covey via Today’s Quotes: Do The Thing You Fear!.

Guess what’s reported to be the number one contributor to happiness?

Money? No.

Good looks? Nope.

Popularity? Still nope.

A hot sex life? Guess again!

According to a report by The Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, all these mentioned life goodies were topped by the biggest life goodie of them all: “autonomy” – defined as”the feeling that your life – its activities and habits — are self-chosen and self-endorsed.”

If someone’s been a jerk to you….

Sure it’s bad if someone’s a jerk to you. But things could be worse. You could be that jerk. ~ Karen Salmansohn via If someone’s been a jerk to you…..

Be Love Anyway!

“People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered; forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives: Be kind anyway. What you spend years creating others could destroy overnight: Create anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway. Give the best you have, and it may never be enough: Give your best anyway. In the final analysis, it is between you and God: it was never between you and them anyway.” ~ Mother Teresa via Today’s Quotes: Be Love Anyway!.

…on The Right Way

You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist. Nietszche

…on Living

Just for today…

I will be agreeable,
will look as well as I can,
dress becomingly, talk low,
act courteously, criticise not one bit,
not find fault with anything
and not try to improve or regulate
anybody except myself…
