The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers. ~ M. Scott Peck ~

From this moment forward, I will be true to myself. I will no longer allow myself to be burdened with past regrets. I let go of all relationships, habits and thought patterns that no longer serve me in my strive to reach my highest potential.

Many of us, whether we are conscious of it or not, create much of the unhappiness we experience. Our disappointments are the result of our own negative or limited thoughts about ourselves and our world. What are some of those limiting thoughts, those subconscious beliefs, which keep us from experiencing joy and wholeness? One of those beliefs is that we cannot be fulfilled unless we are loved and accepted by those who are the victims of our past experiences, that we are too old or too set in our ways to change. Still another false idea is, "It's a catastrophe if things don't go my way!" Then, too, there's the self-defeating attitude that to love is to lose, so "I'd better prepare for the worst to happen because it will." Two more irrational beliefs are, "I have no control over my happiness and I want life to be easy and without hassles; therefore, I'll avoid discomfort or any new commitments." TODAY I will see each disappointment in my ...

No Strings Attached I've nothing else to offer, so, to you, it's love I'll send. It's nothing that I borrowed and it's nothing that I'd lend. It has no dollar value and it can't be overused. It isn't fragile, so it can't break, though often it's abused. I've given it to others, but each time it's unique. Its meaning's always different; it depends on what you seek. It's something you can store away, to feel when you're in need. But never is it on display, its beauty can't be seen. I'm giving it 'no strings attached,' no costly warranty. This love that I am sending has a lifetime guarantee. Author Unknown

I have not made New Years Resolutions in the past, because I have never kept them in the past. I thought about what I want my year to look like and it isn't about being skinny or changing who I already am. I want to take my life and bump it up a notch. I am already just fine the way I am. I have a poster up at work that reads... Good, better, best. Never let it rest. Until your good is better and your better is best. Tim Duncan My main goal is the get in physical shape. I plan on doing every walking/running event I can to prepare myself for 1 or 2 triathlons a 1/2 marathon and a 3 day breast walk. I CAN DO IT!

Conquer mountains tall and oceans deep, Overcome every hill and dale, Reach for the stars in the universe, Dream big and dare to fail. You're never too old or never to young To reach places no one else has been, Do the things that stir your soul, And keep doing them over again. Jump off mountains or out of airplanes, Start living, if you have never fought To live a life that will stir your heart, It makes no difference if you succeed or not. What matters most is the challenge By doing things that make others pale, Start doing the deeds that some dare not. Dream big and dare to fail. What does it matter if you don't succeed, It only matters that you feel the pride Of putting some excitement into your life And of knowing that at least you tried. Don't be afraid to to lose or fail, Just give it all you've got, You will find your life more rewarding If in its enthusiasm you get caught. Aim for those stars high in the sky And never settle for anything less, Don't even as...

A woman has strengths that amaze men. She can handle trouble and carry heavy burdens. She holds happiness, love and opinions. She smiles when she feels like screaming. She sings when she feels like crying, cries when she's happy and laughs when she's afraid. Her love is unconditional! There's only one thing wrong with her. She sometimes forgets what she's worth .
