Always Trust Your Gut Instincts

Bad habits are like a comfortable bed.
Easy to get into, but hard to get out of.

There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind.
( C.S. Lewis )

Tomorrow is the first blank page of a 365 page book.
Write a good one.

Few moments in life are more gratifying than those when the arrogant are exposed as the ignorant.
( Wes Fesler )

Always trust your gut instincts.
If you genuinely feel in your heart and soul that something is wrong, it usually is.

If we all choose to travel the road of love and peace, and not the road of violence and fear, the world will be a better place for all living beings.

The only true failure is failure to try.
( Wes Fesler )

Compassion is the only true freedom in the world.

When you’re thankful for what you have, you are always rewarded with more.
Try to stay positive and things will get better.

We live in a time when most people are too distracted to think for themselves.

Hypocrisy is the audacity to preach integrity from a den of corruption.
( Wes Fesler )

Use your voice for kindness, your ears for compassion, your mind for truth, and your heart for love.

There are some people who always seem angry and continuously look for conflict.
Walk away.
The battle they are fighting isn’t with you, it’s with themselves.

Don’t listen to people who tell you what to do.
Listen to people who encourage you to do what you know in your heart is right.

Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.
( Mark Twain )

We are all one.
Only egos, beliefs and fears separate us.

Begin each day with a little courage, a little curiosity, and a little spring in your step.

For every achievement, there is a critic to devalue its worth.
( Wes Fesler )

Sometimes we need someone to simply be there.
Not to say anything, but to let us know they are on our side, and that they care for us.

Take care of your thoughts when you are alone.
And take care of your words when you are with people.

The highest forms of understanding we can achieve are laughter and human compassion.

People cry, not because they are weak.
It’s because they have been strong for too long.
( Johnny Depp )

Sometimes we just need to disconnect and enjoy our own company.

Read nothing into my silence.
I’m lost for words.
Not lost for feelings.

It is horrifying that we have to fight our own government to save the environment.
( Ansel Adams )

Silence is very often an answer too.

Strength is the ability to break a chocolate bar into four pieces with your bare hands.
And then eat just one of those pieces.

Choose being kind over being right, and you’ll be right every time.
( Richard Carlson )

Rumours are started by haters, spread by fools, and accepted by idiots.

Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves.
( Abraham Lincoln )

Sometimes our heart needs more time to accept what our mind already knows.

In the end, only three things matter.
How much you loved, how gently you lived.
And how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you.
( Buddha )

The greatest distance between two people is misunderstanding.

Believe nothing, no matter where you read it or who has said it.
Not even if I have said it.
Unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.
( Buddha )

The stronger you become the gentler you will be.

Rain falls because the clouds can no longer handle the weight.
Tears fall because the heart can no longer handle the pain.

We are so often caught up in our destination that we forget to appreciate the journey.
Especially the goodness of the people we meet on the way.
Appreciation is a wonderful feeling, don’t overlook it.

The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched.
They must be felt with the heart.
( Helen Keller )

Do the best you can until you know better.
Then when you know better, do better.
( Maya Angelou )

Sometimes it’s better to put love into hugs than to put it into words.

There is no need to make sense of life.
Just trust what you feel.

Drop the idea of becoming someone, because you are already a masterpiece.
You cannot be improved.
You have only to come to it, to know it, to realise it.
( Osho )

As time goes by you will start noticing how the people that are not supposed to be in your life are slowly being removed.

One hand can lift a soul.
One candle can wipe out darkness.
One hope can raise your spirits.
One touch can show you care.

You are always a valuable, worthwhile human being.
Not because anybody says so, not because you’re successful, not because you make a lot of money.
But because you decide to believe it and for no other reason.
( Wayne Dyer )

Satisfaction is not always the fulfilment of what you want.
It is the realisation of how blessed you are for what you have.

I wake up with a good attitude every day.
Then idiots happen.

Lies are like garbage that you can’t throw away.
They clutter your life, foul your air, and make living unbearable.
( Wes Fesler )

Many people think happiness is about gaining something.
But it’s not.
It’s about getting rid of the darkness you accumulate.

Remember how far you’ve come. not just how far you have to go.
You are not where you want to be.
But neither are you where you used to be.

Expectation is the root of all heartache.
( William Shakespeare )

Faith means living with uncertainty.
Feeling your way through life, letting your heart guide you like a lantern in the dark.

I am thankful to all of the rude, arrogant and difficult people who have been a part of my life for showing me exactly who I don’t want to be.

Never forget who was there for you when no one else was.

What really matters is not what we have but what we share.
Not our success but our significance.

Never forget that walking away from something unhealthy is brave.
Even if you stumble a little on your way out the door.
( Mandy Hale )

Everyone is important and should be treated with compassion and respect.

Before you speak.
Is it true?
Is it helpful?
Is it necessary?
Is it kind?

The things we take for granted, someone else is praying for.

It’s just crazy how you grow up with all this love and hope in your heart and then you are thrown into this twisted, sad world, full of cruel, violent, greedy people.

Never underestimate the power you have to make a difference.

Look for goodness in others, for beauty in the world, and for possibilities in yourself.
( Wes Fesler )

Facing the truth might be uncomfortable.
But denying it may be devastating.

You have to be willing to endure the storm to enjoy and appreciate the rainbow that follows.

Pay as much attention to the things that are working positively in your life as you do to those things that are giving you trouble.
( H. Jackson Brown )

I look at some people around me.
And realise I’m not as nearly as stupid as I thought I was.

Those who smile through the sad times, who light the way for others, who spread laughter and joy, who are compassionate and respectful to all creatures.
Thank you for making the world a better place.

In a society that profits from your self-doubt, liking yourself is a rebellious act.

The rich and the powerful want to see you do good, but never better than them.

I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality.
I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.
( Martin Luther King, Jr. )
