Maybe...

Maybe...God wanted us to meet the wrong people before meeting the right one so that, when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.

Maybe...when the door of happiness closes, another opens; but, often times, we look so long at the closed door that we don't even see the new one which has been opened for us.

Maybe...it is true that we don't know what we have got until we lose it, but it is also true that we don't know what we have been missing until it arrives.

Maybe...the happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

Maybe...you should dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you dream of and want to do.

Maybe...there are moments in life when you miss someone - a parent, a spouse, a friend, a child - so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real.

Maybe...the best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.

Maybe...you should always try to put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that something could hurt you, it probably will hurt the other person, too.

Maybe...you should do something nice for someone every single day; a smile followed by “hi!” usually does the trick.

Maybe...giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they will love you back. Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart. But, if it doesn't, be content that it grew in yours.

Maybe...you shouldn't go for looks; for they can be deceiving. Don't go for wealth; for that can be gone in a flash. Go for someone who makes you smile, because all it takes is a smile to make a dark day seem bright. So find the one that makes your heart smile.

Attitude

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.

Attitude is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do.

It is more important than appearances, giftedness, or skill.

It will make or break a company, a church or a home.

The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.

We cannot change our past. We cannot change the fact people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable.

The only thing we can do is play on the string we have, and that is our attitude.

I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it.

And so it is with you. We are in charge of our attitudes.

Be thankful...

Be thankful that you don’t already have everything you desire;
if you did, what would there be to look forward to?

Be thankful for the difficult times;
during those times you grow.

Be thankful for your limitations;

Be thankful for your mistakes;
they will teach you valuable lessons.

Be thankful when you’re tired and weary;
it means you’ve make a difference.

It’s easy to be thankful for the good things;
a life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are also thankful for the setbacks.

Find a way to be thankful for your troubles;
they can become your blessings.
