Whitey Bulger Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Allow Your Own Inner Light to Guide You There comes a time when you must stand alone. You must feel confident enough within yourself to follow your own dreams. You must be willing to make sacrifices. You must be capable of changing and rearranging your priorities so that your final goal can be achieved. Sometimes, familiarity and comfort need to be challenged. There are times when you must take a few extra chances and create your own realities. Be strong enough to at least try to make your life better. Be confident enough that you won't settle for a compromise just to get by. Appreciate yourself by allowing yourself the opportunities to grow, develop, and find your true sense of purpose in this life. Don't stand in someone else's shadow when it's your sunlight that should lead the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazz Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 If... If I had my life to live over, I would have talked less and listened more. I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained and the sofa faded. I would have eaten the popcorn in the 'good' living room and worried much less about the dirt when someone wanted to light a fire in the fireplace. I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth. I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed. I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage. I would have sat on the lawn with my children and not worried about grass stains. I would have cried and laughed less while watching television - and more while watching life. I would have shared more of the responsibility carried by my husband. I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I weren't there for the day. I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, wouldn't show soil or was guaranteed to last a lifetime. Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy, I'd have cherished every moment and realized that the wonderment growing inside me was the only chance in life to assist God in a miracle. When my kids kissed me impetuously, I would never have said, "Later. Now go get washed up for dinner." There would have been more "I love you's".. More "I'm sorrys" ... But mostly, given another shot at life, I would seize every minute... look at it and really see it ... live it...and never give it back.

Hunter Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will; That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him Forever in the next. Amen. --Reinhold Niebuhr @ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest-Fred-* Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 YoungBinghamton, You couldn't possibly know, but it is EXACTLY what I needed to hear today! Thank you for posting! @ Funny story - I was checking to see how far back in time the 74 pages of bcvoice would take me - and it goes back to early February - and I happened to notice this thread which I thought was kind of cool. After a couple of months of reading bcvoice pretty regular, I'm completely burned out on the negativity, and pettiness. So I saw this and added a reply to bring it forward. Here's where it gets funny. The site moderators eliminated my comment. Somebody had said - I hope it catches on. And my reply to bring it forward was - it didn't catch on. Even I have turned negative. Hmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm You're right Fred, YB has posted several of these daily positive thought threads, and this one has finally gotten some attention...usually they just slide back into the pages on here, and yes, didn't catch on. I too, also noticed your post had been deleted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
