You can't always choose what experiences you will have in life, but you can choose how to handle them.
Mira... Mira... I remembered this one and had to look it up for you:
"Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and freedom." Viktor E Frankl
"Old trees have crooked branches, old houses have weird cracks, old races have odd secrets." -- Henry James
âThe way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.â
â Mitch Albom, Tuesdays with Morrie
"Never allow your life or your choices to be influenced or dictated by people whose own lives are mediocre, miserable or unhappy."
Rev
"People are like dirt. They can either nourish you and help you grow as a person or they can stunt your growth and make you wilt and die." Plato
Forgiveness is not always easy. At times, it feels more painful than the wound we suffered, to forgive the one that inflicted it. And yet, there is no peace without forgiveness.
O lovers! Be careful in those dangerous first days! Once youâve brought breakfast in bed youâll have to bring it forever, unless you want to be accused of lovelessness and betrayal.â | |

"With everything that has happened to you, you can either feel sorry for yourself or treat what has happened as a gift. Everything is either an opportunity to grow or an obstacle to keep you from growing. You get to choose."~ Wayne W. Dyer

"Remember not only to say the right things at the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment."
"Train your mind to see the good in every situation."
" Most people don't put into practice what they preach. And most people don't put into practice the wisdom imparted to them. Nearly every quote shared in this thread is golden. We read them and say to ourselves, "Hmmmm! That's beautiful." But how many of us put into practice the wisdom shared by those quotes ? " Rev
You're the driver of your life, don't let anyone steal your seat.
(I read this somewhere on the Internet)
Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny. And a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it's all over.
"The best memories are the random memories that make you smile."
Rev
Any memory that brings a smile to your face and laughter in your heart is a good memory ~ Miraver
