Sometimes I look at some of my journals which are filled with thoughts that make me ponder, make me feel, make sense to me at a deeper level, and that’s all that is needed. I don’t need to expand on someone else’s genius. I’m just grateful that they shared what needed to be said. Here are some of my favorite latest thoughts, gathered from other brilliant sources:
“He who has peace of mind disturbs neither himself nor another.” – Epicurus
“What some people call stress, I believe is rebellion of the heart.” – Iyanla Vanzant
“Rejection is almost never personal. Though it comes naturally to treat it as though it is a barb aimed at our very being, that instinct is confused, mistaken and does absolutely no good to heed. That reason most rejection is not personal is that it can’t be. Most people don’t even know us well enough to reject us personally. They are usually saying no to a small sliver of what we offer the world. More often than not, the reason they say no is that the offer does not seem like a good fit for them and their needs.
If you are a size 10, you’ll have to pass on the size 3 jeans. Even if the size 3 jeans are the best in the entire world, the jeans are of no use to a person who cannot wear them.” – Holiday Mathis
“With a few flowers in my garden, half a dozen pictures, and some books, I live without envy.” – Lope De Vega
“You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.” – Maya Angelou
Are you passing on love or are you passing on pain? Heal your pain and pass on love.
These are all great. I love me some Iyanla! And I pray that Maya is right because I have 5 writing projects going on simultaneously, and I need all the creativity that I can get!
Kelly, I have no doubts about your creativity flow!! Hope that you are healing quickly and easily! 🙂
