How ridiculous not to flee from ones own wickedness, which is possible, yet endeavor to flee from another's which is not.

Learn to love situations which make you uncomfortable. That is the only way you can learn to be comfortable everywhere.

The truth..-

EVERYTHING IS HARD BEFORE IT GETS EASY

Everything is hard before it gets easy. You need to exert tremendous discipline to develop new habits of thought and behaviour. But once you have them firmly locked in, they enable you to accomplish vastly more with less.

When your 18 you worry about what everybody is thinking of you; when your 40, you dont give a darn what anybody thinks of you; when your 60, you realize nobody's been thinking about you at all."

Thanks for the Goethe quotes, buttonlane - very inspiring without pretending that it's easy to change. Also liked the Benjamin Franklin one, but my favourite Franklin quote is still "Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy"!

Saw this on Facebook.

Quote:



One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.

He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement he quieted down.

A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up.

As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and happily trotted off!

MORAL :
Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a stepping stone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up.

Remember the five simple rules to be happy:

1. Free your heart from hatred - Forgive.

2. Free your mind from worries - Most never happens.

3. Live simply and appreciate what you have.

4. Give more.

5. Expect less from people but more from yourself.

You have two choices... smile and close this page,
or pass this along to someone else to share the lesson.
