.
But for the meantime here are some quotes from www.powerofpositivity.com that may
help you through the day:
1. “A positive attitude gives you power over your
circumstances instead of your circumstances having power over you.” — Joyce
Meyer
2. “Man is fond of counting his troubles, but he does not
count his joys. If he counted them up as he ought to, he would see that every
lot has enough happiness provided for it.” — Fyodor Dostoevsky
3. “The greatest degree of inner tranquility comes from the
development of love and compassion. The more we care for the happiness of
others, the greater is our own sense of well-being.” — Tenzin Gyatso
4. “Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only
through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened,
ambition inspired, and success achieved.” — Helen Keller
5. “A pearl is a beautiful thing that is produced by an
injured life. It is the tear [that results] from the injury of the oyster. The
treasure of our being in this world is also produced by an injured life. If we
had not been wounded, if we had not been injured, then we will not produce the
pearl.” – Stephan Hoeller
6. “Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but
sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.” – Thich Nhat Hanh
7. “Good humor is a tonic for mind and body. It is the best
antidote for anxiety and depression. It is a business asset. It attracts and
keep friends. It lightens human burdens. It is the direct route to serenity and
contentment.” – Greenville Kleisser
8. “And the day came when the risk it took to remain tight
inside the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” – Anais Nin
9. “Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart
and to try to love the questions themselves. Don’t search for the answers,
which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live
them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps
then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it,
live your way into the answer.” – Rainer Maria Rilke
10. “Self-pity gets you nowhere. One must have the
adventurous daring to accept oneself as a bundle of possibilities and undertake
the most interesting game in the world: making the most of one’s best.” – Harry
Emerson Fosdick
