Wise Words On Sunday

 


1.  After loving my parents, my siblings, my spouse, my children & my friends, I have now started loving         myself.

2.  I have realized that I am not "Atlas." The world does not rest on my shoulders.

3.  I have stopped bargaining with vegetable & fruit vendors. A few pennies more is not going to 
break me, but it might help the poor fellow save for his daughter's school fees.

4.  I leave my waitress a big tip. The extra money might bring a smile to her face. She is toiling much        harder for a living than I am.

5.  I stopped telling the elderly that they've already told that story many times. The story makes them walk  down memory lane and relive their past.

6.  I have learned not to correct people even when I know they are wrong. The onus of making everyone    perfect is not on me. Peace is more precious than perfection.

7.  I give compliments freely & generously. Compliments are a mood enhancer not only for the 
recipient of a compliment, never, never turn it down, just say "thank you."

8.  I have learned not to bother about a crease or a spot on my shirt. Personality speaks louder than        appearances.

9.  I walk away from people who don't value me. They might not know my worth, but I do.

10. I remain cool when someone plays dirty to outrun me in the rat race. I am not a rat & neither am I 
in any race.

11. I am learning not to be embarrassed by my emotions. It's my emotions that make me human.

12. I have learned to live each day as if it's the last. After all, it might be the last.

13. I have learned that it's better to drop the ego than to break my relationship. My ego will keep 
me aloof, whereas with relationships, I will never be alone.

14. I am doing what makes me happy. I am responsible for my happiness, and I owe it to myself.                  Happiness is a choice. You can be happy at any time, just choose to be!

Hi Debbie, Happy Sunday! I love this! Are these your words? I'm asking because I would like to copy it and save it to post on my blog at some point.Thanks for sharing!💖

hi susan, these are not my words, only my thoughts. my husband sent this to me in an email, he does not remember where it originated. i think you can share anything that's on the internet and is not "watermarked", you could certainly share this. the picture was with it!!

I love this. Had read it before but I needed to read it again and again. When we find out who we really are and are comfortable in our own skin... it's such a wonderful feeling of euphoria.

I like this too, Debbie. Have never read it, but as you said, they are my thoughts too.

Matthew 22:37: "And he said to him, Thou shalt love [the] Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy understanding".

The rest falls into place.

These really are good words to live by. I have had to do number 9 to have any hope of being happy. I am generally a happy person but it has certainly been put to the test in the last few weeks. Thanks for these words of wisdom. We are so much alike!
