  • "Realize that anyone who tries to put you down about your appearance is assuming that it is your job to please them visually. Once you realize that it isn't your job to be visually pleasing to anyone, ever, it becomes very hard for anyone to make you feel bad about yourself" ~Lessons Learned in Life

    Would you be able to explain this one in depth?

    It means that a person's true power is born of one's ability know and to take control of himself/herself. If you can't respect you, nobody else will. If you can't make yourself do things that are in your own best interest, nobody else is going to do what you want either. Our ability to lead others is directly linked to our ability to lead ourselves.

  • When I am exercising, I like to think of the quote "pain is weakness leaving the body". That is as long as it is good pain, not bad pain.

    BUMP - I love a good quote!

    Don’t give up on yourself before you enter the race. ENTER THE RACE!!!!

    Go ahead: Live with abandon. Be outrageous at any age.
    What are you saving your best self for?

    May today there be peace within you. May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.

    NOTHING CHANGES UNTIL YOU DECIDE…

    LOVE PEOPLE AND USE THINGS - NOT LOVE THINGS AND USE PEOPLE.

    “We are not human beings on a spiritual journey; we are spiritual beings on a human journey.”

    Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

    O God, help me to believe the truth about myself no matter how beautiful it is.

    Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become your habits. Watch your habits; they become your character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

    “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?…

    Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do…

    And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

    –Marianne Williamson
