They Flew

The eagle gently coaxed her offspring toward the edge of the nest.  "Why does the thrill of soaring have to begin with the fear of falling?" she thought.  Until her children discover their wings, there was no purpose in their lives.  The push was the greatest gift she had to offer.  It was the supreme act of love.  And so, one by one, she pushed them, and they flew! - David McNally -

Keep pushing and have a nice day!

Today…

There are two days in every week that we should not worry about, two days that should be kept free from fear and apprehension.

One is YESTERDAY, with its mistakes and cares, its faults and blunders, its aches and pains.  YESTERDAY has passed forever beyond our control.  All the money in the world cannot bring back YESTERDAY.  We cannot undo a single act we performed.  Nor can we erase a single word we've said...YESTERDAY is gone!

The other day we shouldn't worry about is TOMORROW, with its impossible adversaries, its burdens, its hopeful promise, and poor performance.  TOMORROW is beyond our control.  TOMORROW'S sun will rise either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds...but it will rise.  And until it does, we have no stake in TOMORROW, for it is yet unborn.

That leaves only one day...TODAY.  Any person can fight the battles of just one day. It is only when we add the burdens of YESTERDAY and TOMORROW that we break down.

It is not the experience of TODAY that drives people crazy...it is the remorse of bitterness for something which happened YESTERDAY, and the dread of what TOMORROW may bring.

Let us, therefore, live one day at a time!

Have a nice TODAY!

I Believe

I believe... That just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other.  And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.

I believe… That we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.

I believe… That no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.

I believe… That true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance.  The same goes for true love.

I believe… That you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.

I believe… That it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.

I believe… That you should always leave loved ones with loving words.  It may be the last time you see them.

I believe … That you can keep going long after you think you can't.

I believe… That we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.

I believe … That either you control your attitude or it controls you.

I believe… That heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.

I believe… That money is a lousy way of keeping score.

I believe…. That my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.

I believe… That sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down, will be the ones to help you get back up.

I believe… That sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.

I believe… That maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays  you've celebrated.

I believe… That it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others.  Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.

I believe… That no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief.

I believe… That our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.

I believe… That you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret.  It could change your life. Forever.

I believe… Two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.

I believe… That your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you.

I believe… That even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you - you will find the strength to help.

I believe… That credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.

I believe… That the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.

~What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us~
