Feelings, and feelings,

and feelings.  Let me try thinking instead.

- C.S. Lewis

 

 

Always, always remember that -

adversity is not a detour.  It is

part of the path.

 

You will encounter obstacles.

You will make mistakes.  Be

grateful for both. Your obstacles

and mistakes will be your greatest

teachers.  And the

only way to not make mistakes

in this life is to do nothing,

which is the biggest mistake of all.

 

Your challenges, if you let

them, will become your

greatest allies.  Mountains can

crush or raise you, depending

on which side of the mountain

you choose to stand on.  All

history bears out that the great,

those who have changed the

world, have all suffered great

challenges.

- Richard Paul Evans

 

 

 

 

Because of indifference,

one dies before one actually dies.

-Elie Wiesel

Good quotes Ins.  :) Funny, in reference to the first one by C.S Lewis, I basically gave that same advice to a great friend just yesterday. Maybe I'm not dumb afterall.  :idiot:  ;D

 

I hope you're having a decent day my friend Ins.  :)

If a fellow isn't thankful for what he's got,

he isn't likely to be thankful for

what he's going to get.

- F.A. Clark

 

If you want to turn your life around,

try thankfulness.  It will change

your life mightily.

The point is that when I see a sunset or a waterfall or something,

for a split second it's so great, because for a little bit I'm out of my brain,

and it's got nothing to do with me.  I'm not trying to figure it out,

you know what I mean?  And I wonder if I can somehow find a way

to maintain that mind stillness.

- Chris Evans

Life and death matter, yes.

And the question of how to behave in this world,

how to go in the face of everything.

Time is short and the water is rising.

- Raymond Carver

It is not enough to be busy.

So are the ants.  The question is:

What are we busy about?

Yes, but I'm sure you'll find that many people love you even if you're having a hard time loving yourself.  :)

Is there anyone so wise as to learn by the experience of others?

Oh, Ins, I think we're all here on BB, trying "to learn by the experience of others". Isn't that the whole point? We're sharing, supporting and learning. I think the next duty is to teach others -- or, at least, to share what we've learned in order to prevent more of the same. I think we can achieve that in large and small ways. For me, small is best right now. Maybe that'll change at some point in the future.

Lapis,

Yes, and there is healing in sharing.

Sending you hugs and wishes for a smooth evening.

Love, Ins

On trying to help someone who refuses help:

 

Stop trying to make them live as you think they should…

How others live is not for us to control, but to learn from.

~ Crystal Sverdsten

 

Let go.

They have to help themselves and accept responsibility.

~Viengxay Jimenez

 

Their path is not yours to blaze, and who’s to say they’re not exactly where they need to be at this very moment?

~Fiona Berger Maione

 

Focus on your own well being (boundaries) so that you can provide stable support when they ask for help.

Allow them their process no matter how difficult it is to watch. It is neither our right nor responsibility to manipulate their journey.

~Robyn Williams

 

People have to come to where they need to be to get their lessons.

You can’t help someone who is not willing. But you can love them through it. Send light and love and hold them in your heart space. I had to hit my own bottom and dead end to turn around and climb back up…when I was ready and willing.

~Karen Blake
