"Success is recognizing you are more today than you were yesterday." The Story Teller

I Spired

This is a good time to get inspired about the future, your goals and executing on those goals. I'm grateful for all of the inspiration I've gotten from thinkers and writers through the years, so I wanted to share my favorite, most inspiring quotes with you. Below are more than 10 snippets given by the Story Teller. Whatever mood you are in, or whatever situation you may find yourself caught up in, a little excerpt goes a long way in bringing peace to your heart.  

"Knowledge without context is trivia." "Knowledge without purpose is trivia."

"If you can define specifically what failure is, then anything else is success."

"The most perfect relationship you will ever have is the relationship with yourself."

"If you do not have to be what you are you can be something different."

"All things have a beginning, middle, and end."

"Embrace anger and love it for what it teaches you about yourself and for what you can change."

"Never accept that you are the one that will validate or invalidate someone else's laws or beliefs."

"When you find yourself in a situation resulting from the ramifications of past events, the longer you hang on to what has happened the longer you hurt yourself."

"Teach by your actions not by the need to speak out and be heard."

"Recognize that today is unlike any other day you ever had."

"The reality of it is that you are always more than you think you are and you are less than you will be."

"It is up to me to choose to believe in anything, including believing in myself. 

“Life is not a thing to be solved. It is a most wondrous mystery to be enjoyed.” 

"Joy is what happens when we allow ourselves to recognize how good thing are."

"Life is the school, Love is the lesson."  (my favorite bumper sticker) 

Self Control

This is an oldie, but couldn't be more perfect for me at this time.  I'm putting down my glass of water right now and taking the time to send this to you because I love you and I hope you find it a helpful reminder, too.

  

  Stress  Management for Women!  This is absolutely a wonderful email story!!!!

"A  young lady confidently walked around the room while leading and  explaining stress management to an audience with a raised glass of  water. Everyone knew she was going to ask the ultimate question,  'half empty or half full?'  She fooled them all .... "How  heavy is this glass of water?" she inquired with a smile.   Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. to 20 oz. She replied , "The absolute  weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long I hold it. If I hold  it for a minute, that's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour,  I'll have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you'll  have to call an ambulance. In each case it's the same weight, but  the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes." She continued, "and  that's the way it is with stress. If we carry our burdens all the  time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy,  we won't be able to carry on." "As with the glass of water, you  have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again.  When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the burden - holding  stress longer and better each time practiced. So, as early in the  evening as you can, put all your burdens down. Don't carry them  through the evening and into the night."
