Share your inspiring thoughts!!!

[tiggerlover]

I am working on a project for the WISH group I meet with here in Italy every week. I have bought small hand made wooden boxes from Poland and I want to print out inspiring quotes to help my WISH buddies when they need inspiration. There are certain quotes that have helped me through this journey that I will share, but I am looking for others which have been inspiring to you as well. Some of my favorites have come from here, so you may recognize them.

• If God brings you to it, he will bring you through it.
• Focus on progress, do not let slip-ups slow you down.
• On this journey go slow and steady, you are not there yet, but closer than you were yesterday.
• At the end of the day it doesn't matter how long it takes to get to where we're going, just as long as we get there!!

Wow, I was so surprised to see this post at the bottom of the page with no responses. I know you guys are inspirational, you all have helped me soooo much and I know a lot of you have a gift with words, I have seen it first hand. So if you don't have an inspirational quote, perhaps you just have some inspiring words to share.

Here are 3 of my favourites they are all from Dr. Phil:

"Before your life can change, you must pull over, park, and change direction".

"When you choose the behaviour, you choose the consequences".

"Your life experience is made up of choices you make and the outcomes that accompany them each and every day".

Hope that these help.

Now why don't I live in Italy too? This sounds like a great idea - you are very thoughtful, Debbi!

Here are some quotes from Dr. Wayne Dyer's site that I've found inspirational:

If you slip, it doesn’t mean you’re less valuable. It simply means you have something to learn from slipping.

When you argue for your limitations, all you get are your limitations.

I cannot always control what goes on outside, but I can always control what goes on inside.

Why not think about some things you’ve never done before and do them just because you’ve never done them and for no other reason?

We become what we think about all day long. The question is, "What do you think about?"

The past is over for all of us. The future is promised to none of us. All we get is this one. That’s all we get.

When you have the choice between being right and being kind just choose kind.

It takes not one drop of sweat to put off doing something.

Here are two concepts / thoughts that have helped me:

I've always been comforted by the thought of baby steps. I don't have to think about the whole long journey ahead - I just have to take a couple baby steps in the right direction and they'll all add up to success.

We tend to get on the scale and then label ourselves with the number we see. However, we are far more than just a number on the scale. Try to define success in ways other than a number on the scale - feeling better, smaller clothes, able to walk farther, etc.

I can't think of a witty way to put these thoughts into a brief sentence, but you get the idea..... Maybe someone else can sum them up..???

When life gives you lemons, throw them back, you'll add muscle and relieve some stress at the same time!

Wise sayings from Poor Richard's Almanac

To lengthen thy life, lessen thy meals

No better relation than a prudent and faithful friend

Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, half shut afterward

Some sayings from my papaw....

"Rabbit Squat" That's what he'd say when he got flustered- so if you're having a bad day just say these words it's very healing!

"Well I'll be John Brown" What to say when you step on the scales and they're not so kind......you may not understand it but believing you're someone else might help you cope.

Where there's a will, there's less weight!

I'll try to think of some more....I've got a great book around here somewhere with some great sayings- Erma Bombeck had alot- just can't find her book! What a GREAT idea wish I was in Italy to share in the boxed gifts!!
