Healing doesn't mean the damage never existed. It means the damage no longer controls our lives.

(Just because something has caused you pain and damage in your life, doesn't mean you have to let it control the rest of your life.)




Some of life's best lessons are learned at the worst times.

 

(I am going through some really difficult struggles, physically/medically and I am struggling with it a lot. I keep trying to tell myself that there are lessons to be learned from it.)

 

 

Instead of judging someone by their past. Stand by them and help them repair their future.

 

(Maybe instead of always judging someone by their past, we should try to help them build/repair a better future.)

 

 

In the end, we only regret the chances we didn't take, relationships we were too afraid to have, and the decisions we waited too long to make.

 

 

The best way to treat obstacles is to use them as stepping stones. Laugh at them, tread on them and let them lead you to something better.

 

 

 A moment of patience in a moment of anger

  saves thousand moments of regret.

 

 

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

 

 

 

Life is too short. Grudges are a waste of perfect happiness. Laugh when you can, apologize when you should and let go of what you can't change.

 

 

And so we climb...

Higher than the forest domain.

 Higher than the sun's retreat.

Higher than the limits of our fear.

 Higher than our vast insecurities.

Beyond whispers of the unknown.

Beyond the need of tangible hope.

Beyond the brokenness of memories.

 Beyond the confines of comprehension.

And so we climb.

 

 

The bravest thing I ever did was continuing my life when I wanted to die.

 

(There definitely have been times in my life, when I just wanted to die and wished I were dead. But something always made me hold on and keep on going, no matter how difficult my life seemed to be/get.)

 

 

 

 

Your value doesn't decrease based on someone's inability to see your worth. 

 

(Just because someone else doesn't see your worth, doesn't mean you are worthless.)

 

 

 

Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will.

 

 

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain. 

 

 

It's okay to not be perfect.

It's okay to make mistakes.

It's okay to do something that

you wish you hadn't done,

because if we don't do those

things we never grow.

(I have definitely said and done some things I wish I hadn't, but I have learned some lessons from some of them, some the hard way.)

The Importance of Having Goals

There is an old analogy about the horse who pulls the cart because the owner hangs a carrot on a stick in front of it's nose. The point of the carrot idea is that we need to have something out in front of us, something we can see, something we can obtain in the near future that motivates us to keep going during tough times. I like to relate this analogy to having goals, setting them, working toward achieving them, feeling rewarded and a sense of accomplishment when we reach them.


Goals can help give our lives some balance. Unless we set some goals for ourselves, not only are we less likely to live up to our potential, but we will have trouble figuring out how well we are at doing something. We need some standards against which to measure ourselves, and goals can provide them for us. We don't know what we can do unless we try, we learn from trying, from trail and error.


Goals are most helpful when they are positive and realistic. Goals can be set over various time frames, they can be long-term or medium ranged, or short-term. It can be important to have short-term goals, daily goals.

When we wake-up in the morning. It is helpful to have a sense of what we'd like to have accomplished by the end of that day. Such daily goals, help give us a sense of satisfaction within our day. When we have accomplished our goal it can give you a good feeling, we feel successful, and that we can unwind and relax without feeling frustrated or dissatisfied.


Goal setting can also be a way of taking larger tasks and dividing them up into manageable parts. If a person has a large task that must be completed during the week, such as packing all belongings in preparation for moving, this may seem overwhelming. A person might have the tendency to put it off until there is no alternative but to scramble to get it finished.

Dividing the task into daily goals, and into portions can help you manage your workload. It can help you avoid feeling stressed out, frustrated or overwhelmed.

This principle can be applied to most of life's tasks and problems, even those that are less tangible. The principle is to decide where you need to go, then identify the steps that will take you progressively toward the destination.
