| When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which are open for us. ~~~~~~~~~~ Never give up on anybody. Miracles happen every day. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Stop blaming others. Take responsibility for every area of your life. ~~~~~~~~~~ Choose your life's mate carefully. From this one decision will come ninety percent of all your happiness or misery. ~~~~~~~~~~ Never deprise someone of hope; it might be all they have. ~~~~~~~~~~ Be kinder than necessary. ~~~~~~~~~~ Let people know what you stand for-and what you won't stand for. ~~~~~~~~~~ Don't forget, a person's greatest emotional need is to feel apprecited. ~~~~~~~~~~ When someone hugs you, let them be the first to let go. ~~~~~~~~~~ Every day show your family how much you love them with your words, with your touch, and with your thougtfulness. ~~~~~~~~~~ Don't believe people when they ask you to be honest with them. ~~~~~~~~~~ Live your life as an exclamation, not an explanation. ~~~~~~~~~~ Don't expect life to be fair. ~~~~~~~~~~ Never waste an opportunity to tell someone you love them. ~~~~~~~~~~ Never underestimate the power of a kind word or deed. ~~~~~~~~~~ Don't use time or words carelessly. Neither can be retrieved. ~~~~~~~~~~ Don't make the same mistake twice. ~~~~~~~~~~ Never underestimate the power of words to heal and reconcile relationships. ~~~~~~~~~~ Marry only for love. ~~~~~~~~~~ Count your blessings. ~~~~~~~~~~ |
