Food for thought

Saw this and thought I should share.

Be Inspired .

Instead of worrying about what people say of you,
why not spend time trying to accomplish
something they will admire.

Motivational words on Confidence

Don’t listen to anyone who tells you that you can’t do this or that. That’s nonsense. Make up your mind, you’ll never use crutches or a stick, then have a go at everything. Go to school, join in all the games you can. Go anywhere you want to. But never, never let them persuade you that things are too difficult or impossible.”
Douglas Bader

“Confidence comes not from always being right but from not fearing to be wrong.”
Peter T. Mcintyre

“I quit being afraid when my first venture failed and the sky didn’t fall down.”
Allen H. Neuharth

“The world has the habit of making room for the man whose words and actions show that he knows where he is going.”
Napoleon Hill

“You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.’ You must do the thing you think you cannot do.”

Eleanor Roosevelt

“One important key to success is self-confidence. An important key to self- confidence is preparation.”

Arthur Ashe

“The way to develop self-confidence is to do the thing youfear.”                                                            

  William Jennings Bryan

“Having once decided to achieve a certain task, achieve it at all costs of tedium and distaste. The gain in self-confidence of having accomplished a tiresome labor is immense.”

Thomas A. Bennett

“Nothing builds self-esteem and self-confidence like accomplishment.”

Thomas Carlyle

“Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.”
Dale Carnegie

“Never bend your head. Always hold it high. Look the world straight in the face.”

Helen Keller

“Whatever we expect with confidence becomes our own self-fulfilling prophecy.”

Brian Tracy

“Confidence is courage at ease.”

Daniel Maher

WATCH WHAT YOU SAY

There is a common saying that was converted to a song that said ;sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt my feelings. Well this a big lie ,words hurt. Bad words can inflict as much pain as physical injury,or abuse or even more. I am sure you can remember  bad words some said to you years ago that you have not forgotten about, you and you might still feel the pain you felt when those words were said to you each time you remember . We need to watch what we say to ourselves and to others. Once the words come out, you can never take it back. It is common knowledge that  the human body contains 70 percent water ,here is a summary of an article I read of a researcher who discovered the effect of words ,sounds ,etc on water.

Thoughts and Words Affect Water

“The work of Japanese researcher Masaru Emoto, author of The Hidden Messages in Water, is featured to show how thoughts change the structure of ice crystals–beautiful crystals form in a glass of water with the word “love” taped to it, whereas playing Elvis’s “Heartbreak Hotel” causes other crystals to split in two. Would his “Burnin’ Love” boil water?”

His cutting-edge research into the relationship between water and thoughts has stunned the world. He was featured in the popular movie: What the BLEEP Do We Know.

The photographs and information in this article reflect the work of Masaru Emoto, a creative and visionary Japanese researcher Mr. Emoto has published an important book, “The Message from Water” from the findings of his worldwide research . After seeing water react to different environmental conditions, pollution and music, Mr. Emoto and colleagues decided to see how thoughts and words affected the formation of untreated, distilled, water crystals, using words typed onto paper by a word processor and taped on glass bottles overnight.

The same procedure was performed using the names of deceased persons. The waters were then frozen and photographed. Here are some examples.

Food for thought

Don’t change so someone will like you. Be yourself & the right people will like and love the real you.

Always accept and feel comfortable with your flaws, that way no one can ever use them against you.

Life isnt necsssarily about waiting for the storm to pass….its about learning to dance in the rain

SOLID WORDS FROM COLIN POWELL

The less you associate with some people, the more your life will improve.
Any time you tolerate mediocrity in others, it increases your mediocrity.
An important attribute in successful people is their impatience with
negative thinking and negative acting people.
As you grow, your associates will change.
Some of your friends will not want you to go on.
They will want you to stay where they are.
Friends that don’t help you climb will want you to crawl.
Your friends will stretch your vision or choke your dream.
Those that don’t increase you will eventually decrease you.

Consider this:
Never receive counsel from unproductive people.
Never discuss your problems with someone incapable of contributing to the solution, because those who never succeed themselves are always first to tell you how.
Not everyone has a right to speak into your life.
You are certain to get the worst of the bargain when you exchange
ideas with the wrong person.
Don’t follow anyone who’s not going anywhere.

With some people you spend an evening: with others you invest it.
Be careful where you stop to inquire for directions along the road of
life.
Wise is the person who fortifies his life with the right friendships.

If you run with wolves, you will learn how to howl. But, if you
associate with eagles, you will learn how to soar to great heights.
“A mirror reflects a man’s face, but what he is really like is shown
by the kind of friends he chooses.”
The simple but true fact of life is that you become like those with
whom you closely associate – for the good and the bad.

Note: Be not mistaken.
This is applicable to family as well as friends.
Yes…do love, appreciate and be thankful for your family, for they
will always be your family no matter what.
Just know that they are human first and though they are family to
you, they may be a friend to someone else and will fit somewhere in
the criteria above
