"I was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together again and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as new. What is broken is broken -- and I'd rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken places as long as I live." ~ Margaret Mitchell.

​

I noticed you are a fan of her, so here is my alltime favorite:

We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations. - Anais Nin

That lady knew her shit.

I have included a fun link in case anyone is interested in to learn more of her.

Quotes of the Day!
By Anais Nin


~ If what Proust says is true, that happiness is the absence of fever, then I will never know happiness. For I am possessed by a fever for knowledge, experience, and creation. ~



~ I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naïve or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman. ~



~ Life shrinks or expands according to one's courage. ~



~ Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born. ~


~ Ordinary life does not interest me. I seek only the high moments. I am in accord with the surrealists, searching for the marvelous. ~



~ There are very few human beings who receive the truth, complete and staggering, by instant illumination. Most of them acquire it fragment by fragment, on a small scale, by successive developments, cellularly, like a laborious mosaic. ~



~ It is the function of art to renew our perception. What we are familiar with we cease to see. The writer shakes up the familiar scene, and, as if by magic, we see a new meaning in it. ~

I heard this today when someone commented that having a sub was like clipping someone's wings and I liked this response so much I had to share.......

"submission is not clipping anyone's wings. If it is, then it's being done wrong. It's about recognizing yourself and all of your worth, then giving it as a gift to someone whom you deem worthy and can trust."

From one of the greatest minds of our time:

Time is the coin of your life. You only get one coin and only you can determine how it is to be spent. Be careful lest you let others spend it for you.

in order to have what you want.

of the dreams you want to realize.
Your words are the greatest power you have.
The words you choose and their use establish the life you experience.

Quotes of the day!




~ Belief consists in accepting the affirmations of the soul; unbelief, in denying them. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson



~ Don't accept your dog's admiration as conclusive evidence that you are wonderful. ~ Ann Landers
( That is soo wrong my dogs are always right they think me amazing)



~ Instead of being afraid in a delicate situation, learn a lesson from it and make yourself strong ~ Innerspace


~Life is a struggle, accept it. ~ Mother Teresa


~ We all find occasion to reject and resist another person. We all like to put up a fight against anything we dislike on the evening news as we spectate the world. But we forget that when we decide we will resist something or somebody, either mentally or physically, we only empower the object of our resistance, either in reality or in our own minds. If you want to enjoy the ability to influence, always start with acceptance. If you want to disarm another begin with acceptance. If you want to encourage and empower another to change, start with acceptance. Don't make it conditional. Otherwise it's just resistance disguised as acceptance, and you are still trying to control them.
And we can all smell a controller...Can't you? ~
Innerspace



~ There comes a time when you have to stand up and shout:
This is me damn it! I look the way I look, think the way I think, feel the way I feel, love the way I love! I am a whole complex package. Take me... or leave me. Accept me - or walk away! Do not try to make me feel like less of a person, just because I don't fit your idea of who I should be and don't try to change me to fit your mold. If I need to change, I alone will make that decision.
When you are strong enough to love yourself 100%, good and bad - you will be amazed at the opportunities that life presents you. ~
Stacey Charter


Where is our usual manager of mirth?What revels are in hand? Is there no play, To ease the anguish of a torturing hour? ~ William Shakespeare

Enough wisdom for today.


Now a question?

Why doesn't the heart heed what the mind knows to be true?

Quote of the Day!


This is for anyone struggling with a relationship in whatever form. I was not sure where to place it and so I placed it here. Please pass it on to anyone in need this day


Love Means Never Having to Say You’re Sorry ~ Barbara Rose


The title of this article is fully credited to Erich Segal, who wrote the phenomenal movie “Love Story” back in 1970.

Since that time, I have always wondered what that statement truly meant. Now, 34 years later, I understand.

True love is unconditional. It is transparent, where we can accept, understand, and allow the other person to make every mistake, falter, stumble, and give genuine heartfelt compassion when they are trying their best, even if their best is can be “better.”

Love carries no judgment or manipulation. Love carries no ego, or the need for ego gratification. True love is pure. It is deep, eternal, and it never dies.

There may come a time when you have to be apart from someone you truly love in your heart. Please realize that sometimes time alone is the greatest gift you can give to another. Sometimes our ego’s “want” more, and sometimes our ego’s “avoid” love. These are the ego’s delusions. They are not, however, the pure love that resides within our deepest heart and soul.

I learned that “forgiveness” can be replaced with compassionate understanding. When we truly understand, there is not an ego need for a formal apology. When we love purely, there is not an ego need, period. There is only compassion and understanding. What we “want” and “deserve” may come from both ego and self-value. Certainly we all deserve pure love. However, to receive it, we have to first learn how to give it – first to ourselves, and then to another.

“Never having to say you’re sorry” means that you know you are loved truly for who you are. You are accepted. In order to give this kind of love to someone else, we first have to love and accept ourselves with the utmost loving compassion, understanding, and carry zero self-judgment.

As we peel the layers of ego away, along with self-protective walls, egoic responses, and manipulation of Self to be what we think we need to be in order to be loved and accepted, it is then that we can love someone else purely. This takes great conscious effort, and the desire to grow to become so pure and heart centered, that the ego melts away.

When this happens, we know we are loved by Self in the most genuine manner, and then we will also know that we are ready to give such a pure, unconditional love to someone else.

~ ~ ~​

Remember you never know when the one you love will be taken away from you by accident or design. I am learning not to waste precious moments ones which very well may be my very last. I have learned this lesson the hard way ~ Yeishia
