Only the strong will survive…..
Feeling sorry for yourself today: Yeah, I’ve got some thoughts for you!
- The best place to find a helping hand is at the end of your own arm!
- Waiting for tomorrow for things to get better? Newsflash: Tomorrow never really comes!
- So you’ve been hurt? Pick up the pieces, glue them back together and get on with it!
- Someone made you feel uncomfortable with what they said? Walk away, tell them to bite you, and realize that words are just that….WORDS!
- Have a bad day? Good and Congratulations: You are now a stronger person!
- Busy? And stressed as a result? Imagine the extreme antithesis of busy—BORED! Better to be busy and stressed than bored and stressed….just my thoughts.
- The world needs strong people, choose to be one today!
- If you’re not making a difference, what’s the point?
- Movers and Shakers make better lovers than Sloths and Wombats….Huh? Don’t ask, its better that way!
- You know how there’s always that one person?………Don’t be that person!
Bonus thought:
So, imagine you live on a farm in the middle of a drought and you’re fighting each day to provide for you and your family under impossible circumstances. Do you really think there would actually be time during the day to feel sorry for yourself? And if there was, would it really help your scenario? Think of this, the next time you are eating a great meal, dancing in a great club and then subsequently laying awake depressed at night feeling sorry for yourself in your great bed that just happens to be in a great house……HHhhmmm.
Parting shot:
Life process # 457 – Wake-up, make a difference, go to bed; Wake-up, make a difference, go to bed; Wake-up, make a difference, go to bed; repeat, repeat, ad nauseum!

I’m a firm believer in the importance of bad days. Without them how would we know a good day? We need them for balance, and yes…they do make us stronger!!
And your right, I pick busy over bored any day. But then again…only boring people get bored!

"The best place to find a helping hand is at the end of your own arm!"
I love that one, too. And the finale! Number ten, that is: DON’T BE THAT PERSON!
People often prefer to be HELPLESS.

as vague as "don’t be that person" is, I understand exactly who "that person" is. Ironic? I think not! I believe number one got the popular vote here!!
