Please Yourself

If you are going to die your own death, you might as well live your own life.

Whenever you try to please other people, you make their feelings more important than your own.

If you postpone your pleasure and always put others first, even if you think you are doing so out of love, you end up being disappointed in their response to you.

Somehow it is never enough when you try to please others, for you or for them.

You end up expecting too much. This leads to resentment.

Soon life loses its pleasure, because you depend on other people to make you happy, and you do not believe anyone truly can.

No one knows how to please you the way you know how to please yourself.

My Taste in Music

What Your Taste in Music Says About You

Your musical tastes are reflective and complex. You are intellectual to the point of being cerebral. You are very open to new experiences, and even more open to new ideas and theories. Wisdom and personal accomplishment are important to you. You are naturally sophisticated. You are drawn to art, especially art by independent artists. You are likely to be financially well off… and not because you were born that way.

Tips for Ladies of 2008

Become a Cheerleader

If you’ve ever played any kind of competitive sport, you know the difference a cheering crowd can make. Your energy level rises, your confidence increases, your skill and ability improve. There’s no question that when others root for you, you improve at what you do.

In everyday life, you have the chance to be a cheerleader, to let others experience the thrill of knowing someone is behind them 100 per cent. Whether it’s a friend, a spouse, or a child – someone out there needs to know you’re rooting for them. Shout it loud – not literally, of course – but loud enough to be heard. A whispered encouragement may be all that’s needed to inspire their hope and urge them on to success.

Go The Red Devils!!!

Great Thoughts

3. Although the tongue weighs very little, very few people are able to hold it.
4. Falling down doesn’t make you a failure, but staying down does.

You are not alone..

I’m always there with you..

Accept Yourself

When you don’t accept yourself, you become oversensitive to rejection.

When you don’t accept yourself, you lose faith every time you trip over an old weakness.

When you don’t accept yourself, you waste time looking for love to make you complete.

When you don’t accept yourself, you try to beat others rather than seeking your best.

When you don’t accept yourself, you always feel lonely, and being with other people doesn’t seem to help.

When you don’t accept yourself, you live in the past.

Acceptance is not a hopeless position; it is the only position from which you can grow.

If you accept all of your life, none of it will have been wasted.

When you don’t accept yourself, you dread what each day may reveal about you.

When you don’t accept yourself, the truth becomes your enemy.

When you don’t accept yourself, you have no place to hide.

Accepting yourself is everything.

If you accept yourself, you can accept the world.
