Just Because ...

Just because it's the right thing to do, doesn't mean I'm going to take all this crap from you.

Just because I act untouchable, doesn't mean you can't hurt me.  

Just because I talk strong, doesn't mean I never feel weak. 

Just because I've never shed a tear in front of you, doesn't mean I don't cry.

Just because I wear a smile everyday, doesn't mean it's real. 

Just because you're forgotten, doesn't mean you're forgiven.

Just because you look that way, doesn't mean that you're intellectual.

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

Just because I don't care, doesn't mean I don't understand.

Just because I don't see it, doesn't mean I can't believe it.

Just because you feel it, doesn't mean it's there.

Moral of the Story ...

The Priest's Ass
 
 
The Priest entered his donkey in a race and it won.
The Priest was so pleased with the donkey that he
entered it in another race and it won again.
 
The local paper read:

PRIEST'S ASS OUT FRONT.
 
The Bishop was so upset with this kind of publicity that he ordered the Priest not to enter the donkey in another race.
 
The next day the local paper headline read:

BISHOP SCRATCHES PRIEST'S ASS.
 
This was too much for the Bishop so he ordered the Priest to get rid of the donkey.
The Priest decided to give it to a Nun in a nearby convent.
 
The local paper, hearing of the news, posted the following headline the next day:

NUN HAS BEST ASS IN TOWN.
 
The Bishop fainted. He informed the Nun that she would have to get rid of the donkey so she sold it to a farmer for $10.
 
The next day the paper read:

NUN SELLS HER ASS FOR $10.
 
This was too much for the Bishop so he ordered the Nun to buy back the donkey and lead it to the plains where it could run wild.
 
The next day the headlines read:

NUN ANNOUNCES HER ASS IS WILD AND FREE.
 
The Bishop was buried the next day.
 
The moral of the story is . . . being concerned about public opinion can bring you much grief and misery . . even shorten your life.
 
So be yourself and enjoy life.
Stop worrying about everyone else's ass and you'll be a lot happier and live longer!
 
Have a nice day!

Quotes

People know what you are by what they see, not by what they hear

A friend who betray you in the end, is never your friend from the beginning.

It's how you deal with failure that determines how you achieve success

We can often endure an extra pound of pain far more easily than we can suffer the withdrawal of an ounce of accustomed pleasure

Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterwards. Stay focused.

Respond intelligently even to un-intelligent treatment.  

He who sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.

Modesty is beauty

I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies, for the hardest victory is over self. 

Life is amazing when we love what we do, know the reason why we do it, and who we do it for.

It is only with the heart that one can see clearly, for the most essential things are invisible to the eye.

The best way to end an argument is to listen more than you talk, you can't solve the problem if you don't know what it is.

You are free from that of which you despair, but you are a slave to that which you desire.

If you ....

If you want to be happy, let go of the thing that caused you misery.

If you want to be at peace, clear your mind from vengeful thoughts.

If you want the world to be kind to you, be kind to yourself first. 

Don’t be afraid to get hurt, as the wound will heal.

Don’t hold a grudge, as it will keep you chained to your past. 

Don’t be cruel, because the evil witch would never get a happy ending.

Credit goes out to my dear fren Zarin - thank you for this very true and inspiring words :)

Me, Myself and I

I am Me. In all the world, there is no one else exactly like me. Everything that comes out of me is authentically mine, because I alone chose it. I own my fantasies, my dreams, my hopes, my fears. I own my triumphs and successes, all my failures and mistakes.

I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me, and other aspects that I do not know -- but as long as I am friendly and loving to myself, I can courageously and hopefully look for solutions to the puzzles and ways to find out more about me. However I look and sound, whatever I say and do, and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time is authentically me.

If later some parts of how I looked, sounded, thought, and felt turn out to be unfitting, I can discard that which is unfitting, keep the rest, and invent something new for that which I discarded. I can see, hear, feel, think, say, and do. I have the tools to survive, to be close to others, to be productive, and to make sense and order out of the world of people and things outside of me.

I am me, and I am Okay.

Virginia Satir quotes
