Know Who You Are

Quote for the Day:

"Do the things you used to talk about doing but never did. Know when to let go and when to hold on tight. Stop rushing. Don't be intimidated to say it like it is. Stop apologizing all the time. Learn to say no, so your yes has some oomph. Spend time with the friends who lift you up, and cut loose the ones who bring you down. Stop giving your power away. Be more concerned with being interested than being interesting. Be old enough to appreciate your freedom, and young enough to enjoy it. Finally, know who you are."

Now is Right on Time

Inspirational Quote for the Day

I was just telling Nita within the past week that I find it hard to say I regret any of my massive number of mistakes because I think I have learned from each one of them. To say that I regret the way I treated someone, or something I said or did, or something that happened to me is to say that I regret the lesson it taught me - and I can't go that far. I will apologize, but I will not regret the lesson.

Your journey is molding you for the greater good. #passiton #quoteoftheday www.values.com

Fall in Love With Yourself

Inspirational Quote of the Day

"Wouldn't it be powerful if you fell in love with yourself so deeply that you would do just about anything if you knew it would make you happy? This is precisely how much life loves you and wants you to nurture yourself. The deeper you love yourself, the more the universe will affirm your worth. Then you can enjoy a lifelong love affair that brings you the richest fulfillment from inside out.

Alan Cohen

The Bible teaches us to love our neighbor as we love ourselves. Did you catch that? You must love yourself FIRST. Only then, can you love your neighbor.

Mt 19:19 'Honor your father and your mother,' and, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'"

Mt 22:39 "And the second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'

Mr 12:31 "And the second, like it, is this: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these."

Lu 10:27 So he answered and said," 'You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,' and 'your neighbor as yourself.'"

Ro 13:9 For the commandments, "You shall not commit adultery," "You shall not murder," "You shall not steal," "You shall not bear false witness," "You shall not covet," and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

Ga 5:14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

Jas 2:8 If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself," you do well;
