30 November 2006 - quotes on LOVE

In real love you want the other person's good. In romantic love you want the other person.
--Margaret Anderson

The love we give away is the only love we keep.
--Elbert Hubbard

We waste time looking for the perfect lover, instead of creating the perfect love.
--Tom Robbins

If you judge people, you have no time to love them.
--Mother Teresa

He who has never experienced hurt, cannot experience true love.
--Tristan J. Loo
Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...
--Neil Gaiman

I love you. It's not a weight you must carry around. I love you. It's not a box that holds you in. I love you. It's not a standard you have to bear. I love you. It's not a sacrifice I make. I love you. It's not a pedestal you are frozen upon. I love you. It's not an expectation of perfection. I love you. It's not my life's whole
purpose (or your's). I love you. It's not to make you change. I love you. It's not even to make you love me. I love you. It's as pure and simple as that.

A beautiful Mind - 29 November 2006

"What is beauty? , Beauty is something that can be appreciated by others. A beautiful mind ... is a mind that can be appreciated by others. It is not a mind....that can solve complex puzzles. It is usually a mind that can be appreciated..... through conversation." Edward De Bono in " How to have a beautiful mind".

26 November 2006 -Miracles happen daily

I love this quote, because it is so true. " Miracles happen daily, but only to people who expect them." Life is as good as we want to make it. Our response makes all the difference. In my work I see so many held captive by their past; some can release themselves, some prefer to stay it their captivity because they are in their "comfort zone". It is easier to blame somebody else than to take responsibilty for themselves. Sometimes I feel like telling them ( though I have never), " If you want to stay as you are, then don't complain!" My role is to help them see that their past does not have to determine their future. Break out of the mould and be free!
Believe in your heart that
something wonderful is about to happen.
Love your life.
Believe in your own powers,
and your own potential,
and in your own innate goodness.
Wake every morning
with the awe of just being alive.
Discover each day the magnificent,
awesome beauty in the world.
Explore and embrace life in yourself
and in everyone you see each day.
Reach within to find your own specialness.
Amaze yourself and rouse those around you
to the potential of each new day.
Don't be afraid to admit
that you are less than perfect;
this is the essence of your humanity.
Let those who love you help you.
Trust enough to be able to take.
Look with hope to the horizon of today,
for today is all we truly have.
Live this day well.
Let a little sun out as well as in.
Create your own rainbows.
Be open to all your possibilities;
all possibilities and Miracles.

Always believe in Miracles.

4 November 2006 Quotable quotes

To love someone deeply gives you strength. Being loved by someone deeply gives you courage. Lao-Tzu

To be capable of steady friendship or lasting love, are the two greatest proofs, not only of goodness of heart, but of strength of mind.
William Hazlitt

Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.

It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.
