About Me:
Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; Small minds discuss people. Eleanor Roosevelt No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. Eleanor Roosevelt, 'This Is My Story,' 1937 Friendship with oneself is all-important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world. Eleanor Roosevelt In all our contacts it is probably the sense of being really needed and wanted which gives us the greatest satisfaction and creates the most lasting bond. One's philosophy is not best expressed in words; it is expressed in the choices one makes… and the choices we make are ultimately our responsibility. Remember always that you not only have the right to be an individual, you have an obligation to be one. With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts. God's delays are not God's denials. You have to accept whatever comes and the only important thing is that you meet it with courage and with the best that you have to give.
These are some quotes that I have collected over the years that I really like:

Eleanor Roosevelt
The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past…we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude…I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me, and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you…we are in charge of our Attitudes.”
Charles Swindoll
It is better to lose your pride to the one you love, than to lose the one you love because of pride. We spend too much time looking for the right person to love or finding fault with those we already love, when instead we should be perfecting the love we give. Never abandon an old friend. You will never find one who can take their place. Friendship is like wine, it gets better as it grows older.
The good red road/Multiply/Ninjiqua
So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and Demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, Beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and Its purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide. Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, Even a stranger, when in a lonely place. Show respect to all people and Bow to none. When you arise in the morning, give thanks for the food and For the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, The fault lies only in yourself. Abuse no one and nothing, For abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision. When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts Are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes They weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again In a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.”
Tecumseh - Shawnee-(1768-1813)
Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.
Buddha
All men are created equal, It is only men themselves who place themselves above equality.
Choosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude is going to determine how you're going to live your life.

God didn't make a mistake when He made you. You need to see yourself as God sees you.
