be your best self

[psycho therapist]

"The good you find in others is in you too.

The faults you find in others are your faults as well.

After all, to recognize something you must know it.

The possibilities you see in others, are possible for you as well.

The beauty you see around you, is your beauty.

The world around you is a reflection, a mirror
showing you the person you are.

To change your world, you must change yourself.

To blame and complain will only make matters worse.

Whatever you care about, is your responsibility.

What you see in others, shows you yourself.

See the best in others, and you will be your best.

Give to others, and you give to yourself.

Appreciate beauty, and you will be beautiful.

Admire creativity, and you will be creative.

Love, and you will be loved.

Seek to understand, and you will be understood.

Listen, and your voice will be heard.

Show your best face to the mirror, and you'll be happy
with the face looking back at you."

A human after my own heart! Thanks pt.
Kim calls my posts fortune cookies. I call them the pause that refreshes.. I guess that could be a cookie!

It's important to be heroic, ambitious, productive, efficient, creative, and progressive, but these qualities don't necessarily nurture the soul.

The soul has different concerns, of equal value: downtime for reflection, conversation, and reverie; beauty that is captivating and pleasuring; relatedness to the environs and to people; and any animal's rhythm of rest and activity. -- Thomas Moore

PT, Love you. This reminds me of Carolyn Myss. I will listen.

Since we cannot attain unto it, let us revenge ourselves with railing against it.
~ Michel Eyquem De Montaigne ~

It is a general popular error to suppose the loudest complainers for the public to be the most anxious for its welfare. ~ Edmund Burke ~

Single-mindedness is all very well in cows or baboons; in an animal claiming to belong to the same species as Shakespeare it is simply disgraceful. ~ Aldous Huxley ~

If there is light in the soul, there will be beauty in the person. If there is beauty in the person, there will be harmony in the house. If there is harmony in the house, there will be order in the nation. If there is order in the nation, there will be peace in the world. ~ Chinese Proverb ~

In Switzerland they had brotherly love, five hundred years of democracy and peace, and what did they produce? The cuckoo clock! ~ Orson Welles ~

How about this:

I refuse to enter a wet T-shirt contest until my breasts look more like breasts and less like something i should tuck into my pants.
