Words of wisdom!

[Autumn52]

Regret, in my opinion, is a step in the direction of depression and failure. It serves no purpose as we walk the journey ahead of us. Looking forward instead of behind makes us embrace each and every moment of today and that is living instead of existing.

This is important to me and I hope others will embrace it and love it as much as I do.....I live by this.

"A pair of powerful spectacles has sometimes sufficed to cure a person in love." Friedrich Nietzsche

While it is an awesome quote I don't agree....It should say, "cure a person in lust."  Just my two cents.

Today's quote:

truth.  EDIFY!

“When we treat people merely as they are, they will remain as they are. When we treat them as if they were what they should be, they will become what they should be.”

—Thomas S. Monson

I believe this is so true. If one person gives all and the other doesn't the box will still be empty because one person does not make a happy relationship. Just doesn't work that way.

Love this and needed to share it.

Marriage is a relationship by another name. One that is more socially-binding, so far as personal perspective and those of others and of society, but at the end of the day it doesn't change the fact it's another word for a relationship.

I found this quote and liked it:

"Books loved anyone who opened them, they gave you security and friendship and didn’t ask anything in return; they never went away, never, not even when you treated them badly."
—     Cornelia Funke, The Inkheart Trilogy

I agree. That is why I just inserted relationship instead of marriage in what I wrote. I liked your quote too. So true.

One that I do not know the author of but it is most definitely true:

"If you cannot love yourself then how can you expect anyone else to?"

"If you cannot love yourself then how can you expect anyone else to?"

i prefer the alternative to that, often found in recovery groups;

"Let us love you until you can learn to love yourself"

[Rolo]

That is good too!

[Autumn52]

Don't fill your present and future with regrets. The past is for learning and that is all. Move on. As long as you are looking behind yourself you will never see what you are missing in the moment.

I like this version better; can we stick to this?

For the record, this was not actually said, but was based on an interpretation, the original of which was more mundane and not as witty-sounding.

[Euron Greyjoy]

Peace is a lie, there is only passion
Through passion, I gain strength
Through strength, I gain power
Through power, I gain victory
Through victory, my chains are broken
The Force shall free me

It's old advice and oft repeated but still tried and true.

"What doesn't kill us makes us stronger."

We do survive what life throws at us and we can move on and have good things.
