Words to live by....

I'm in some sorta zone today. I'm not sad or mad about anything, just kinda deep in thought I guess.

I love quotes and actually have a notebook full of quotes that I refer to when I need a pick me up. Here are a few that have been on my mind today. Feel free to add to them in the comments section...

~You have to have pain to truly feel joy.

~The quality of a person's life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor—Rev Run

~A setback is a setup for a comeback.

~What is your misery will be your ministry.

~To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did.

~A woman's heart should be so hidden in God, that a man has to seek Him, just to find her.

Alright girl, we are kindred spirits. I have a slew of quotes that I have all around that I refer back to in times like yours. Here are a few more:

"If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, then you are a leader." John Quincy Adams

The goal of an argument should be
progress, not victory

Marie Curie - "Be less curious about people and more curious about ideas."

Education is what you get from reading the fine print. Experience is what you get from not reading it. --Anonymous

Lawrence Clark Powell - "Write to be understood, speak to be heard, read to grow."

And one of my favorites from Rev. Run:
In the beginning, God brought Adam every beast of the field
and told him to name them. After Adam named them, that was the name
thereof! Life brings us situations, sometimes, just to see what we will
name them. If something or someone lands on your plate that you dislike,
you have the power to name it good or bad. Lemons or lemonade. Roadblock
or stepping-stone....(Remember!) The power is in your hands! Rename some
people, places and things today!!!! :)

@ Ieisha..I swear we all need to meet up and have a girls nite out! It's crazy how you can relate to folks that you've never met better than folks you've dealt w/ for the duration..lol

You can't see your blessing with tears in your eyes.

There is never much traffic along the extra mile.

When someone shows you who they are, believe them the 1st time.

To whom much is given, much is required.

Sorry, I have no credits for the above quotes...I've just picked this up along the way

Oh here is another one:

If you put a low value on yourself, the world will not raise your price.

So we're long lost sisters!! I have quotes everywhere..notebooks, cell phone, a folder online specifically set aside for them lol!!!

Here are some that relate to both of our moods:
~ Every story has an end, but in life an end is just a new beginning.

~It's not until you are true to yourself that God can make you who you want to be.

~The sign of favor is that you don't look like everything you've endured.

~A diamond with flaws is better than a common stone that's perfect.

~Strength is built by ones failures, not by ones successes.
--CoCo Chanel

.....ok I'll stop there because clearly I can go on forever :)

~A woman's heart should be so hidden in God, that a man has to seek Him, just to find her.

I guess I should come with something profound.. but

"I can show you better than I can tell you"
