If you have a favorite quote or just come across one you like please share.
I just came across this one I really like.

It takes patience and willingness to live fully enough to reap the benefits that accompany wisdom.

"Be the person your dog thinks you are."

Heard that this morning and had never heard it before. Touching.

Faith without Works is dead. Often attributed to AA but it goes back to the Book of James in the Bible. Still good though, because it causes us to examine our heart's true intentions!

Wherever you go, there you are!

"To live every day as if it had been stolen from death, that is how I would like to live."

Just read this in The Art of racing in the Rain.

Oh love that! FEAR --- I was using the "false evidence imagined real" which doesnt really spell out fear but has been super helpful to me.

Sticky, i've heard it as "False Evidence Appearing Real" which does spell fear! haha
There's some others for it. Like "F**k Everything and Run", "Face Everything and Recover".

But the opposite is FAITH... Full Assurance In Trusting Him

Yesterday's unhappiness can't be changed, but today's happiness is my own responsibility.

Its all about choices!
