Friday Afternoon Ponderables

"The world that you look out on, and so often see turned upside down, that world is within you. That person who you don’t like running into, that strained relationship in any unwanted moment, is not outside of you. The reason that you can’t get along with other people has nothing to do with the other people. Sure, they’re rude. Sure, they’re cruel, spiritually asleep, aggressive, all those things, but so are you. Your feelings about the world you see, with all of its confusing colors and schemes, are all reflections of your own internal life. You meet and see only yourself wherever you go. Nothing else. And that’s such an important lesson."

--Guy Finley
 
"What makes people weak? Their need for validation and recognition."

--Paulo Coelho 
 
"Challenges come so we can grow and be prepared for things we are not equipped to handle now. When we face our challenges with faith, prepared to learn, willing to make changes, and if necessary, to let go, we are demanding our power be turned on."
 
--Iyanla Vanzant

"If we did the things we are capable of, we would astound ourselves."

--Thomas Edison
