Inspirations

Here is where old "Uplifting thoughts of the moment" will be stored.  As well as other positive thoughts and inspirations.

From "How to Stay Young and Healthy" By George Carlin

1.     Throw out nonessential numbers.  This includes age, weight and height.

      Let the doctor worry about them. That is why you pay him/her.

 2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.

 3.  Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening,

     whatever. Never let the brain be idle. “An idle mind is the devil’s  

     workshop.” And the devil’s name is Alzheimer’s.

 4. Enjoy the simple things.

 5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.

 6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is  

     with us our entire life is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.

 7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it’s family, pets,

    keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.

 8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it.

    If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

 9. Don’t take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, to the next county, to a

    foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.

 10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

 AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

 Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

From the beautiful mind of Mother Theresa,

off of a sign on the wall of Shishu Bhavan, the childrens Home in Calcutta

Anyway

People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered,

Love them anyway.

If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives,

Do good anyway.

If you are successful, you win false and true enemies,

Succeed anyway.

The good you do will be forgotten tomorrow,

Do good anyway.

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable,

Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spent years building may be destroyed overnight,

Build anyway.

People really need help but may attack you if you help them

Help people anyway.

Give the world the best you have and you’ll get kicked in the teeth,

Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.

Think of happiness as a kind of...mental gardening.
