1) TO A BRAVE MAN, GOOD AND BAD LUCK ARE LIKE HIS LEFT AND RIGHT HAND, HE USES BOTH!

2) IF YOU CHANGE THE WAY YOU LOOK AT THINGS, THE THING YOU LOOK AT CHANGES...

3) OUR GREATEST GLORY IS NOT IN NEVER FALLING BUT RISING EVERYTIME WE FALL:)!

4) LIFE ISN'T ABOUT FINDING YOURSELF, LIFE IS ABOUT CREATING YOURSELF...

5) PATIENCE IS NOT PASSIVE, ON THE CONTRARY IT IS ACTIVE; IT IS CONCENTRATED STRENGTH!!!

6) DON'T WISH IT WERE EASIER, WISH YOU WERE BETTER, DON'T WISH FOR FEWER PROBLEMS, WIH FOR MORE SKILLS, DON'T WISH FOR LESS CHALLENGES, WISH FOR MORE WISDOM...

7) THE KEYS TO PATIENCE ARE ACCEPTANCE AND FAITH ACCEPT THINGS AS THEY ARE, LOOK REALISTICALLY AT THE WORLD AROUND YOU. HAVE FAITH IN YOURSELF AND IN THE DIRECTION YOU'RE TRAVELLING IN...

8) MAN OFTEN BECOMES WHAT HE BELIEVES HIMSELF TO BE- IF HE KEEPS ON SAYING HE CANNOT DO A CERTAIN THING, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT HE MAY REALLY END UP BECOMING INCAPEABLE OF DOING THAT...ON THE CONTRARY IF HE BELIEVES THAT HE CAN DO IT, HE SHALL SURLEY AQUIRE THE CAPACITY TO DO IT EVEN IF HE MAY NOT HAVE IT IN THE BEGINNING...

GREATNESS COMES NOT WHEN THINGS ARE ALWAYS GOOD FOR YOU,

GREATNESS COMES WHEN YOU ARE REALLY TESTED
WHEN YOU TAKE SOME KNOCKS AND SOME DISSAPOINTMENTS

WHEN SADNESS COMES YOUR WAY, BECAUSE ONLY WHEN YOU HAVE BEEN IN THE DEEPEST VALLEY CAN YOU EVER KNOW HOW MAGNIFICENT IT IS TO BE ON THE HIGHEST MOUNTAIN!!!

It's not what happens to you in life, it's how you deal with it.

If you worry you die, if you dont' worry you die, why worry?

Nice to hear from you Willis...HAPPY BIRTHDAY:)!

I hope you have a wonderful day whatever the weather...Willis his had one injection and I think he was pleasantley suprised, it was a smaller injection than the normal so I think that kinda took the edge of the situation itself...It was kinda hilarious when he came out with excuses:)...so good to hear from you!!! xox

Hawker, If only life brought money back guarantee with it;)PPP....It hard but sometimes we have to find something that will help us to look at the sitauation from another angle so we can find the strength to continue...x

I GOT DOWN ON MY KNEES TODAY
AND SAID A SPECIAL PRAYER FOR YOU
FOR YOU ARE ALWAYS IN MY HEART
AND I OFTEN THINK OF YOU,
I ASKED THE LORD TO SEND HIS ANGELS
TO PROTECT MY DEAREST FRIENDS
I PRAY THAT ALL THE JOY AND HAPPINESS
YOU CAN HAVE WILL NEVER END

I ASKED THE LORD TO COMFORT YOU
WHEN YOU ARE FEELING BLUE
AND WHEN YOU HAVE A TEAR
HE'LL WIPE THAT AWAY TOO

I ASKED THE LORD TO BLESS OUR FRIENDSHIP
SO OUR WAYS WILL NEVER PART
FOR TRUE FRIENDS ALWAYS STICK TOGETHER
FOR WE'RE IN EACHOTHERS HEARTS!

Yasmin: you - or one rather - don't necessarily need a "new" angle, I think it is just one's general attitude to life. Two types of people exist: positive outlook and negative. The positive get up and go, take things head on, see problems as challenges, and so on; the negative have a "can't do" attitude.

You see it everywhere. My wife, a nurse, sees it in hospital wards; I see it in my workplace when new ideas are suggested; my friend whose work involves visiting houses, sees people younger than him complaining about being old at 45 or whatever - yet he is over 65 with a heart problem and still a racing cyclist.

While I agree with your sentiments and the very apt quotes in your posts up there^, I think a lot of this attitude is ingrained from early on in life - I hope you can prove me wrong!

Hi Hawker:),

I have no need to prove you wrong my friend:), you are 100% right in the sense that our upbringing has alot to do with how we tackle life situations...if we're brought up to believe we can achieve anything we put our minds too and have nothing to fear in being our true selves I know for sure we would have the positive attitudes to create success in our lives, but if we're constantley told we're not good enough or we're non achievers likewise that also has a very deep impact on how we deal with experiences....this is why when we have lost that fighting or achieving attitude we need to find it through other means...we need something that can envoke feelings of self worth and hope to re-awaken our dorment spirits to take the challenges head on knowing you have the capacity to deal with them and keep walking...

Unfortunatley the majority of us havn't had the best of upbringing and carry onto teach our own children the very same we've been taught...A bit like the 'abused becoming the abuser'...that is the reality...Either we choose to work with love and change what we had to face or we keep to what we know and in turn use the same techniqes on others...I can also feel the frustration some people may feel againt those who give up easy but when you're caught up in these habits of a lifetime it can be the hardest thing to tackle without someone or something to give you a helping hand or to show you a direction to follow...Those who are bone lazy, well their a 'different kettle of fish' altogether...

I hope you weren't waiting for a showdown;)p...
