Motivational Quote of the Day: Sept. 9 on HOPE (again cuz we all need it)

"Love comes to those who still hope even though they've been disappointed, to those who still believe even though they've been betrayed, to those who still love even though they've been hurt before.â€

author not listed

"What seems to us as bitter trials are often blessings in disguiseâ€
Oscar Wilde

"Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.â€
Albert Einstein

But it's so hard to find the blessings when it tastes so bitter!

But yes, everything happens for a reason. ...at least I HOPE so.

I like that Oscar Wilde quote. Notice though he said "often" not "always", but 'often' is good enough for me.

That first quote I need to work on perhaps. Once you get hurt a few times it gets harder to keep the faith.

Indeed it does, but refer to the quote from yesterday.... In my own words, if you don't risk, you will never experience (good or bad).

But my completely negative thought on that is, is the good good enough to outweigh the risk of how bad the bad can be? Am I totally screwed up or what?

Hmmmmm

Any good is better than all bad or a life of woulda/coulda/shouldas..... even if the good is a single smile.

Think of it this way, everything in life is indeed a risk.....only way to live without risk taking is to not live at all.

Not sure I make sense, and NOPE, you aren't totally screwed up....just partially Join the crowd
