There are only two ways to live your life.

One is as though nothing is a miracle.

The other is as though everything is a miracle.

To Be Alive

To Be Alive

To be alive, to be able to see, to walk, to have a home, see friends - it's all a miracle. I have adopted the technique of living life from miracle to miracle.

Anger

It is not men's acts which disturb us -- but our reaction to them. Take these away, and anger goes. No wrong act of another can bring shame on you.
(Marcus Aurelius, in One Day At A Time In Al-Anon, 15 November)

Perhaps the most profound miracle of all is living through something we thought would kill us.
(Beth Moore, Praying God's Word Day By Day, 16 November)

It isn't always easy to speak correction to those we know are clearly in the wrong. But the Lord uses strong leaders to correct His people, courageous leaders who can speak the truth in love.
(John C. Maxwell, Leadership, 17 September)

Five Quotes

I finished reading the book, Pocket Positives - For Our Times. The last five quotes were so good I'm going to post all of them today.

You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the things you cannot do. Eleanor Roosevelt, 1884-1962, First Lady of the United States of America.

When we do the best we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life or the life of another.  Helen Keller, 1880-1968, American Writer and Lecturer.

You know by the time you've reached my age you've made plenty of mistakes if you've lived your life properly. Ronald Reagan, b. 1911, President of the United States. 

I think these difficult times have helped me to understand better than before how infinitely rich and beautiful life is in every way and that so many things that one goes around worrying about are of not importance whatsoever. Isak Dinesen (Karen Blixen), 1885-1962, Danish Writer. 

If there were nothing wrong in the world, there wouldn't be anything for us to do. George Bernard Shaw, 1856-1950, Irish Dramatist, Writer and Critic.
