* REFLECTIONS 01-11-13






Every day is a new page just waiting
to be written.
~ Kitty Terrin



When love is lost, do not bow your head in sadness;
instead keep your head up high and gaze into heaven
for that is where your broken heart
has been sent to heal.
~ Unknown

Time is precious, yet too often
we do not use it to our advantage
~ Catherine Pulsifer  

 
"Your greatness is measured by your kindness;

your education and intellect by your modesty;

your ignorance is betrayed by your suspicions and prejudices,

and your real caliber is measured by the consideration

and tolerance you have for others."

~ William J.H. Boetcker


"A kind deed a day, like little drops of rain,
makes a mighty ocean and a gracious nation."

-Lin Hsiu Nei



"A single sunbeam is enough to
  drive away many shadows"

-- St. Francis of Assisi






Allow Success into Your Life

 “Why is it we never notice what has been done, but only what remains to be done?”

We do it as mothers when we focus on the one messy shelf
 in a child’s bedroom, not the four that are tidy and neat.
We do it in the workplace when we leap to point out
what hasn’t been finished, instead of commenting on progress made.
We do it to ourselves when we focus on goals not met,
instead of on success achieved.
It’s this negative point of view that will bring you down
and reduce your motivation.
Not the best way to achieve new goals!
Starting today, resolve to be more positive!
Look for what has been done; not for what’s left undone.
Praise children, colleagues, friends
and partners for efforts and progress.
Concentrate on your own achievements.
The more you recognize and appreciate success,
the more success will follow!

-Jane Powell-
