Pittacus Lore
Being in love is a very strange thing. Your thoughts constantly drift towards this other person, no matter what you’re doing. You could be reaching for a glass in the cupboard or brushing your teeth or listening to someone tell a story, and your mind will just start drifting towards their face, their hair, the way they smell, wondering what they’ll wear, and what they’ll say the next time they see you. And on top of the constant dream state you’re in, your stomach feels like it’s connected to a bungee chord, and it bounces and bounces around for hours until it finally lodges itself next to your heart,
When a friend is hurting
When a friend is hurting you can be there for them. But you can’t really make things better for them. Working through their heartaches, and dealing with the pain, is their work and their responsibility.
Carl Jung
Loneliness does not come from having no people around you, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to you.
A.W. Tozer
Rules for Self Discovery:
- What we want most
- What we think about most
- How we use our money
- What we do with our leisure time
- The company we enjoy
- Who and what we admire
- What we laugh at.
Rick Warren
The way you think determines the way you feel,
and the way you feel determines the way you act.
Rick Warren
Hiding your hurt only intensifies it. Problems grow in the dark and only become bigger and bigger, but when exposed to the light of truth, they shrink. You are only as sick as your secrets. So take off your mask, stop pretending you’re perfect and walk into freedom.
C.S. Lewis
Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: “What! You too? I thought I was the only one.
the greatest hazard in life
To love is to risk not being loved in return.
To hope is to risk pain.
To try is to risk failure.
But risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing at all.
by Frank Lloyd Wright
I know the price of success: dedication, hard work, and an unremitting devotion to the things you want to see happen.
Till Eftertanken
Om jag vill lyckas
med att föra en människa mot
ett bestämt mål,
måste jag först finna henne där hon är
och börja just där.
Den som inte kan det
lurar sig själv
när hon tror att hon kan hjälpa andra
För att hjälpa någon
måste jag visserligen förstå mer
än vad hon gör,
men först och främst förstå
det hon förstår
Om jag inte kan det
så hjälper det inte att jag kan
och vet mera.
Vill jag ändå visa hur mycket jag kan
så beror det på att jag är fåfäng
och högmodig
och egentligen vill bli beundrad av den andra
istället för att hjälpa henne.
All äkta hjälpsamhet
börjar med ödmjukhet inför den jag vill hjälpa
och därmed måste jag förstå
att detta med att hjälpa
inte är att vilja härska
utan att vilja tjäna.
Kan jag inte detta
så kan jag heller inte hjälpa.
Sören Kirkegaard.
