I THINK IT SHOULD BE STICKIED!!!
JENNA...IM SO PROUD OF YOU!!! LOOK AT ALL THE GREAT REPLIES YOU'VE GOTTEN...I REALLY THINK THIS THREAD WILL HELP MANY PEOPLE ON HERE... IF ANYONE IS FEELING DOWN THEY CAN READ THIS THREAD AND IM SURE IT WILL KEEP THEM BUSY AND HELP THEM...
Here are the other Quotes that you showed me the other day Jenna...these too are great...
"Sometimes it's easy to feel like you're the only one in the world who's struggling, who's frustrated, or unsatisfied, or barely getting by. But that feelings a lie. And if you just hold on, just find the courage to face it all for another day and someone, or something will find you and make it all ok. Because we all need a little help sometimes. Someone to help us hear the music in our world. To remind us that it wont always be this way. That someone is out there and that someone will find you"
A friend is someone you can trust. A person who you can confide in yet will never judge you. A person who will be there to catch you when you fall. A person who in your time of need will stand by your side and never leave. A friend is someone who loves you unconditionally and will try their best to help you. No matter what you do, your true friends will always be there for you.
Fate handed me a deck of cards when i was born....the difference between my life and the life of others, is how i decide to play my cards. I can never shuffle the deck and just let life take its course. Or i can cheat and shuffle the deck, using the cards to my advantage....either way its still going to be the same deck of cards....just how you look at the world changes
Your mind is a powerful place. If you keep telling yourself that something is true, even if its not, you are going to believe it, and nothing can stop you...you are the only one with the power to change your thought process. Sure people can try to help, but in reality it comes down to you, and only you. Either you take the time and effort to change, or you just sit back and let the harmful thoughts corrupt your mind....the choice is yours to make, you just have to be smart enough to make the right one.
Every one has a soul mate. Someone who will love you for who you are, no strings attached. They will be protective of your safety, wanting nothing to harm you. They will save you from harm, even if that means having to save you from yourself. They will make sure that you are happy....that you are healthy. Your soul mate is the person who you trust without having to second guess the reasons behind the trust. A bond will be formed where you will know that you have something special from the moment your eyes meet.
Sometimes it's easy to feel like you're the only one in the world who's struggling,
who's frustrated, or unsatisfied, or barely getting by. But that feelings a lie. And if you just hold on, just find
the courage to face it all for another day and someone, or something will find you and make it all ok.
Because we all need a little help sometimes. Someone to help us hear the music in our world. To remind
us that it wont always be this way. That someone is out there and that someone will find you.
Life is what you make of it. You can either beat urself up if something goes wrong, or u can take everything in stride and not care. The more you beat yourself up the harder it is to find happiness. The more you just let what happens happen and move on, the easier life becomes. The choice is yours, which path do you want to take
i think these were great also...im so proud of you Jenna... i know your smiling now cuz you know you did something GREAT sweetie!! Take care...lotsa luv!!!!
Jenna, I'm so proud of you for thinking to do this! You are such a kind and caring person when you are yourself.

-Henri Nouwen

Peace has its victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them."

'Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death."

I wasn't like them
They made me, excluded so cruel, and
Then there was you
You stood by me, ignored their words
You became, my best friend so true, oh yeah
You believed in me
When no one else did
You gave me the strength to
Move on, my friend
You will always be
The one I remember
To give my thanks to
For my success
They just did not understand
What I was going through
My situation, they didn't care, no
You tried to take a stand for me
When I just could not
Take it any longer
You believed in me
When no one else did
You gave me the strength to
Move on, my friend
You will always be
The one I remember
To give my thanks to
For my success
I ohh, as I look back
I can see how childish they were
And you ohh, you showed me that
We were so much more than they were
I hope they can see their mistakes now
And not do it to another
But if they don't, I hope that person
Finds someone like you
Ohh...
You believed in me
When no one else did
Yeah ohh, no, ohh yeah, oh
You will always be
The one I remember
Will always be the one I remember, oh no
For my success
For my, for my success, ohh
You believed in me
When no one else did, ohh yeah
Ohh, the strength to move on, yeah
The one I remember, oh

1) To speak truly, few adult persons can see nature. Most persons do not see the sun. At least they have a very superficial seeing. The sun illuminates only the eye of the man, but shines into the eye and heart of the child. The lover of nature is he whose inward and outward senses are still truly adjusted to each other; who has retained the spirit of infancy even into the era of manhood. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
2) Maybe we should develop a Crayola bomb as our next secret weapon. A happiness weapon. A beauty bomb. And every time a crisis developed, we would launch one. It would explode high in the air - explode softly - and send thousands, millions, of little parachutes into the air. Floating down to earth - boxes of Crayolas. And we wouldn't go cheap, either - not little boxes of eight. Boxes of sixty-four, with the sharpener built right in. With silver and gold and copper, magenta and peach and lime, amber and umber and all the rest. And people would smile and get a little funny look on their faces and cover the world with imagination. ~Robert Fulghum
3) Common sense is not so common. ~Voltaire
4) Man becomes man only by his intelligence, but he is man only by his heart. ~Henri Frederic Amiel

7) Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will find them gradually, without noticing it, and live along some distant day into the answer. ~Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet
8) I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. ~Henry David Thoreau, 1854
9) To the question of your life you are the answer, and to the problems of your life you are the solution. ~Joe Cordare

11) Bypasses are devices that allow some people to dash from point A to point B very fast while other people dash from point B to point A very fast. People living at point C, being a point directly in between, are often given to wonder what's so great about point A that so many people from point B are so keen to get there and what's so great about point B that so many people from point A are so keen to get there. They often wish that people would just once and for all work out where the hell they wanted to be. ~Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
12) Camouflage is a game we all like to play, but our secrets are as surely revealed by what we want to seem to be as by what we want to conceal. ~Russell Lynes
13) I... recommend to every one of my Readers, the keeping a Journal of their Lives for one Week, and setting down punctually their whole Series of Employments during that Space of Time. This kind of Self-Examination would give them a true State of themselves, and incline them to consider seriously what they are about. One Day would rectifie the Omissions of another, and make a Man weigh all those indifferent Actions, which, though they are easily forgotten, must certainly be accounted for. ~Joseph Addison, 1712
14) Readjusting is a painful process, but most of us need it at one time or another. ~Arthur Christopher Benson
15) There is deep wisdom within our very flesh, if we can only come to our senses and feel it. ~Elizabeth A. Behnke
16) You've got a lot of choices. If getting out of bed in the morning is a chore and you're not smiling on a regular basis, try another choice. ~Steven D. Woodhull
17) What saves a man is to take a step. Then another step. It is always the same step, but you have to take it. ~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Wind, Sand and Stars, 1939, translated from French by Lewis Galantière
18) Anyone can carry his burden, however hard, until nightfall. Anyone can do his work, however hard, for one day. Anyone can live sweetly, patiently, lovingly, purely, till the sun goes down. And this is all life really means. ~Robert Louis Stevenson
19) Never miss an opportunity to make others happy, even if you have to leave them alone in order to do it. ~Author Unknown
20) The first and greatest victory is to conquer yourself; to be conquered by yourself is of all things most shameful and vile. ~Plato
21) Don't look where you fall, but where you slipped. ~African Proverb
22) Giving up doesn't always mean you are weak. Sometimes it means that you are strong enough to let go. ~Author Unknown
23) Sometimes I feel that life is passing me by, not slowly either, but with ropes of steam and spark-spattered wheels and a hoarse roar of power or terror. It's passing, yet I'm the one who's doing all the moving. ~Martin Amis, Money
24) Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
~William Shakespeare
25) It's a strange thing, but when you are dreading something, and would give anything to slow down time, it has a disobliging habit of speeding up. ~J.K. Rowling, "The Hungarian Horntail," Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, 2000
26) Time is the most undefinable yet paradoxical of things; the past is gone, the future is not come, and the present becomes the past even while we attempt to define it, and, like the flash of lightning, at once exists and expires. ~Charles Caleb Colton
And a few sayings that i made up.....
1) The future becomes the present....the present becomes the past.....and the past becomes a memory....
2) If I could have one thing in the world, it would be happiness....yet happiness isn't something i can suddenly find.....i have to but effort and time into it.....i have to attempt to change myself, the way i think, my outlook on life, even every action that i take.....
3) I may not be normal, but then again who is? What is normal? Is there even a way to measure it? Normal for me, will not be normal for anyone else, so why does it matter?
4) Sometimes, helping others is the best medicine....yet honestly, can you help others if you dont help yourself? You have to be there for yourself as often as you are there for others.
5) Feeling like no one understands. Feeling like you are all alone. Feeling like you are stuck in a black hole, with no way out. A black hole that sucks all the happiness, all the hope, all the light, all the love out of you.....yet its still there.....As soon as you find someone who knows how you feel....who can truly understand, you will find your way out of the black hole....back into a life of happiness, hope, light, and love.....cause you realize you are not alone, you will never be alone.
6) If you don't try how would you know if you succeed or not....if you dont try, how would you know if you are happy or not....if you dont try, how would you know if you are better or not....you can never give up....never stop trying....every time you fall, get back up....every time you succeed, look back and help those who fell behind....every time you feel alone, remember those whom you love, those whom care about you, those whom you care about....cause as long as you have those, you are never alone.....every time you give up you lose....yet every time you try you win.....
7) Recovery does not happen over night....it is a process....slow hard process....sometimes it seems like you are going no where, sometimes it seems like you are going backwards....yet if you put the effort, the time, the work into trying your very best, no matter the out come, you are on the road to recovery....it will take time, you will make mistakes, but what is life if you dont mess up and learn from your errors?
help is there when you need it...you just have to accept it

5) If we are facing in the right direction, all we have to do is keep on walking. ~Buddhist Saying

19) Hope is the strongest driving force for a people. Hope which brings about change, which produces new realities, is what opens man's road to freedom. Once hope has taken hold, courage must unite with wisdom. That is the only way of avoiding violence, the only way of maintaining the calm one needs to respond peacefully to offenses.
-- Oscar Arias Sanchez
