“Sometimes it works, and sometimes it hurts, but it almost always beats the heck out of not knowing. Make your move now or forever live in doubt.”

Not sure who that quote is from, but I love it!

“If you don’t like something change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude. Don’t complain”

“People are just about as happy as they make up their minds to be.”

“You haven’t failed until you stop trying.”

Some people walk in the rain, others just get wet.

Nothing is good or bad but thinking makes it so.

Follow your dreams, they know the way.

Happiness is not having what you want but wanting what you have.

The secret of living is giving.

It is almost impossible to watch a sunset a not dream.

I like sayings hehe, just short and sweet.

Cheers

Read that somewhere apparently its very old but i like it,

Proverbs 23:6-8 (Today’s New International Version)
6 Do not eat the food of a begrudging host, do not crave his delicacies;
7 for he is the kind of person who is always thinking about the cost[a] “Eat and drink,” he says to you, but his heart is not with you.
8 You will vomit up the little you have eaten and will have wasted your compliments.

Footnote [a]
Proverbs 23:7 Or for as he thinks within himself, / so he is

So I guess in the context it’s about a person whose heart, mind and behaviour are ‘out of sinc’. What you see is NOT what you get!

And I guess the question we should ask ourselves is: “am I really what I appear to be, or is my life a facade, a charade to impress people?” Living that way is emotionally exhausting, and how can we live our best life and contribute in our own unique way to the world around us if what we do is only done to impress people?

If that’s how we are living, and we don’t want to live that way any more it’s going to take a thorough search of our thinking habits and where they came from, before we will be able to change ourselves.

I suppose we also need to think about what kind of people we want to hang around with, the kind described in these verses (they can sometimes look pretty impressive on the ‘outside’) or authentic people. When we become authentic ourselves we begin to have a 6th sense for spotting facades designed only to impress. And they do make us want to puke!

Hear endeth the sermon! Sorry but you started it by quoting from my favourite personal development book!

For people who might be interested a great website for looking up bible verses in lots of different translations is www,biblegateway.com
