StaffyGirl's Ironic Quotes for the Day

[[al...]]

 

I am the Wizard. This world is mine.

I speak. It's done. My realm is fine.

My wand, my tongue. My sword, my voice.

It's good. It's bad. I speak my choice.

I say happy, or I say mad.

I say angry, or I say glad.

I name that drawing on the wall.

It's not graffiti after all.

The past has been broken. The prison's not real.

My word holds the magic - the power to heal.

Intent is my weapon - a sword from above.

Cruel hate, fear, and anger transmute into love.

This world's my joy. This mouth's my toy.

Reborn -I'm a brand new girl or boy.

I choose. I speak. My will is done.

Come join. Come play. This can be fun.

“A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space.

He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest,

a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.  This delusion is a kind of prison for us,

restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us.

Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion

to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”

 

~ Albert Einstein ~

Your quotes touched me today when I needed it most. Thanks HoneyM XXX

Self-honor (self-respect) is in no way selfish.

Before I can give to others,

I must have something to give.

Only by first creating

my own self-esteem and happiness,

do I possess the resources to

contribute anything meaningful to others.

“speak quietly to yourself & promise there will be better days. Whisper gently to yourself

and provide assurance that you really are extending your best effort.

console your bruised and tender spirit with reminders of many other successes.

Offer comfort in practical and tangible ways - as if you were encouraging your dearest friend.

recognize that on certain days the greatest grace is that the day is over and you get to close your eyes.

Tomorrow comes more brightly...”

Oh yes Staffy,your tree quote is ace..............

 

 

The story was such that I couldn't make a graceful

ending and then make a graceful new beginning.

I could have, but I didn't want to.

So, it isn't the most graceful way of writing a story.

This new story is, I think, is pretty good stuff.

I'm pleased with it anyway.

~ Jack Vance ~

 

Thanks Alfred,

 

I like this one too and try to use it myself.

Alfred,

 

Thanks for keeping up the good work while I've been out of commission, if we help just one person, we have succeeded.

 

I love your contributions and it is heartening to find a kindred spirit.

Hi Honey

 

You are most welcome.  I am just glad that someone else reads them and that they may offer some small form of comfort to others.  Sometimes, I come here and read them to myself if I think I am getting negative. 

 

I hope you are okay Honey, pm me anytime you like.  I am doing pretty good right now and enjoying the soft lull while it lasts.

 

Love Staffy xxx

“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known

defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found

their way out of the depths.  These persons have an appreciation, a

sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion,

gentleness, and a deep loving concern.  Beautiful people do not just happen.”

“You do not have to be good.  You do not have to walk on your knees

for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.

You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.

Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.

Meanwhile the world goes on.

Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain

are moving across the landscapes, over the prairies and

the deep trees, the mountains and the rivers.

Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,

are heading home again. Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,

the world offers itself to your imagination,

call to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting –

over and over announcing your place in the family of things.”

The Rose That Grew From Concrete:

 

“Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete?

Proving nature's laws wrong, it learned to walk without having feet.

Funny, it seems to by keeping it's dreams; it learned to breathe fresh air.

Long live the rose that grew from concrete when no one else even cared.”

Hi Alfred and Co,  I am back once again......

 

So something befitting me thinks.

 

 

 

May All Your Dreams Come True.

 

Live your life with NO regrets.

Reach for a dream and make it your own.

 

Be brave enough to invest a part of your heart in something real that brings you great pleasure.

 

Have a close circle of friends and the love of family to share all of life's special moments with.

 

Have a special sense of purpose and an inner strength that gives you the confidence to face each new day with boldness and courage.

Hi Staffy

 

I can read what you are saying and I do trust people, but when they let you down what do you do then. do you not trust anyone in the future. I have been let down so many times here at home.

 

So stupid but I don't even trust doctors anymore not after what not only myself but family members have gone through over the years and have been let down.

“You can talk with someone for years, everyday, and still,

it won't mean as much as what you can have when you sit in front of someone,

not saying a word, yet you feel that person with your heart,

you feel like you have known the person for forever....

connections are made with the heart, not the tongue.” 

 

~ C. JoyBell C. ~

 

To understand another persons mental suffering you

can only understand it if you have suffered it yourself.

Sometimes remembering our basic goodness takes a leap of faith. The trick is to connect with the soft spot  that we already have.

Sometimes it helps to find little ways that the seed of goodness manifests in our life.

To find our ability to rejoice and to care, even when it’s fleeting, strengthens our confidence.

To see how we block our hearts and close our minds brings self-compassion and the longing not to do that anymore.

So our practice is to keep watering the seed. We water it by thinking of others, both when we’re happy and when we’re in distress.

We water it by recognizing our kinship with all beings throughout time and space.

We water it by noticing our negative and positive reactions to whomever and whatever we meet.

We water it with gentleness and honesty. We learn to ask:

“How can I use this suffering and this joy as a vehicle for transformation?”

And we practice being kind when we’re stuck.

Great quote Staffy  :thumbsup:

 

If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had them;

everybody has had them. But obstacles don't have to stop you.

If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up.

Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

I have to agree with walls I am constantly hitting brick walls.
