An encouraging journey. . . .
     
lessons on perspective.
   
I've learned that if someone says something unkind about me,
I must live so that no one will believe it.


I've learned that you can make some one's day 
by simply sending them a little note.


I've learned that the greater a person's sense of guilt,
the greater his or her need to cast blame on others.


I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today,
life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.


I've learned that hotel mattresses are better on the side away from the phone.

I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles
these three things:  a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.


I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents,
you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.


I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as making a "life."

I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.

I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both
hands.   You need to be able to throw something back.


I've learned that if you pursue happiness, it will elude you.  But if you
focus on your family, your friends, the needs of others, your work and doing
the very best you can, happiness will find you.


I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart,
I usually make the right decision.


I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.

I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone.
People love that human touch -- holding hands, a warm hug, or just a friendly
pat on the back.


I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.

What we are contributes much more to our happiness than what
we have. . . .What we are in ourselves, what accompanies us when
we are alone, what no one can give us or take away, is obviously
more essential to us than everything we have in the way of
possessions, or even what we may be in the eyes of the world.

Arthur Schopenhauer
