“If you want your life to have impact, focus it! Stop dabbling. Stop trying to do it all. Do less. Prune away even good activities and do only that which matters most. Never confuse activity with productivity. You can be busy without a purpose, but what’s the point?”

“Trusting God completely means having faith that He knows what is best for your life. You expect Him to keep His promises, help you with problems, and do the impossible when necessary.”
—Rick Warren
“Resentment always hurts you more than it does the person you resent. While your offender has probably forgotten the offense and gone on with life, you continue to stew in your pain, perpetuating the past. Listen: those who hurt you in the past cannot continue to hurt you now unless you hold on to the pain through resentment. Your past is past! Nothing will change it. You are only hurting yourself with your bitterness. For your own sake, learn from it, and then let it go.”
—Rick Warren “The Purpose Driven Life”
“Don’t rely on someone else for your happiness and self-worth. Only you can be responsible for that. If you can’t love and respect yourself - no one else will be able to make that happen. Accept who you are - completely; the good and the bad - and make changes as YOU see fit - not because you think someone else wants you to be different.”
—Stacey Charter
“The reason it hurts so much to separate is because our souls are connected.”
—Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook
“Work for a CAUSE, not for APPLAUSE. Live life to EXPRESS, not to IMPRESS. Don’t strive to make your presence NOTICED, just make your ABSENCE felt..”

But who am I to judge?
Much appreciation and respect to the dignified and well-mannered men that treated me right, that treated me like a woman, that treated me as a Queen. For that, I will hold you to the highest degree.
