A few Quotes For Today

Do not wait for ideal circumstances; they will never come.


Janet Erskine Stuart


There is no such thing as a free ticket; every decision has both opportunity and cost.


Priscilla Elfrey


A peacefulness follows any decision, even the wrong one.


Rita Mae Brown


No matter how much information you collect, no decision comes with guarantees.


Madeline Marie Daniels


The mind gives us thousands of ways to say no, but there's only one way to say yes, and that's from the heart.


Suze Orman











If we wait until we are 100 percent sure that we are making the right rather than the wrong decision, we can be 100 percent sure of only one thing--we will never make any decision at all. To be decisive and proactive, we often need to act long before we're convinced we're doing the right thing.


Arleen LaBella and Dolores Leach

Forgiving others -
Releasing the past


There is a general reluctance on the part of most people to forgive old injuries. Some of us wasted lots of time brooding about old wrongs done to us or trying to get even for some past injustice.


But the only way we can ever really get even is to forgive others completely and without the slightest hidden reservation. If we haven't forgiven others, the old resentments are a poison in our own lives. We continue to feel the pain of the original injury, and the ensuing resentment destroys our peace of mind and endangers our relationships.


In forgiving others, we do not grant a favor to them, but to ourselves. By extending forgiveness, we release thoughts and feelings that have been like a cancer in our lives. We are not giving up a possession or a right; instead, we are freeing ourselves from a burden that nobody needs to carry. We are letting go of garbage that we do not need in our lives. When we forgive others, we also realize that we are forgiven. As it is stated in closing meetings, "Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us."


I will not review past hurts and injuries this day. I will go through the day knowing that God forgives me to the extent that I forgive others.
