In My Words 2

Here are some of my thoughts this week... in my own words:
*Today, I'm going to be positive. I won't let crappy things or stupid people ruin that for me. So, to all the day-ruiners out there: Look elsewhere... because today just ain't your day with me.
*Sure, there are at least 2 sides to every story. But if one person is sane... and the other-- completely insane... then I'm thinking sanity trumps fairness in that dispute.
*The people who really change the world are those who challenge the words "You can't" with "Watch this."
*There will be good days, and there will be bad days. There will be ups, mixed with downs. But, when the tears drown your smiles... fight to smile through those tears. Because if you can smile... you can make it.
*In life, you're going to fail sometimes. When you do, you may feel worthless. But down the road, you may feel burdened by success. And in between, trapped by mediocrity. Just remember: none of these feelings can ever define you... without your consent. You can only be a failure, if you believe you can't succeed. You're only mediocre, if you fail to strive for more. Success will be your burden, if you deny its opportunities. Life doesn't make you who you are. You do.
*If everyone who truly cared about something, simply acted on that feeling, the "some day" we all talk about... could be today.
*The past is in the past. Sure, what happened in the past helped shape who you are today. But if you're still holding onto it --then I hate to tell ya-- but it isn't your past. It's your present.
*Don't waste all of your energy on the not-important-people around you. Because inevitably, the MOST important people in your life will begin to feel not important. Those people are irreplaceable.
*As a kid, you want to know everything. As a pre-teen, you don't care to know anything. As a teenager, you think you know everything. As a young adult, you realize you know nothing. For the rest of your life, you'll repeat this same cycle over and over again. Seeking knowledge, avoiding truth, assuming wisdom, and surrendering to reality. That's the journey of life. You'll never know everything. Try anyway.
*I was once a little girl with big dreams. Although I grew up... that little girl stayed with me. She's still there, inside of me... fighting for those dreams. When life says "No," she says "Yes." When the world says "You can't," she says "I can." When they say "Stop trying," she says "Never." By keeping my inner child alive, I kept my dreams alive. And then, my dreams came true. That little girl never stopped believing that anything is possible... and she was right.

    Very wise words. Query: Are there any pictures of you without dogs? Prom picture? Yearbook? Even as a little girl you were surrounded by pups

    I loved your blog today. I wish that some one would have said these things to me when I was younger. I always told my children to go for their dreams and dream big. They have done well in their lives. I made a copy of this to put on my fridge....also shared. You are so special, keep up the good deeds and work...God Bless You.

    Thank you so much! I cried it was so beautiful!
    I believe that someday all the animals will be safe.I have a dream that people will realize that how important they are in their lives. That unconditional love is the most precious treasure on earth! No riches in the world can replace the love animals give to each and every one of us!
