Jealousy 2


Envy is a symptom of lack of appreciation of our own uniqueness and self worth.  Each of us has something to give that no one else has.

In the Best Interest of the Children


Minnesota Judge Has 200 Blunt Words for Divorcing Parents

By Judge Michael Haas, 2001 


"Your children have come into this world because of the two of you. Perhaps you two made lousy choices as to whom you decided to be the other parent. If so, that is your problem and your fault.

No matter what you think of the other party-or what your family thinks of the other party-these children are one-half of each of you. Remember that, because every time you tell your child what an "idiot" his father is, or what a "fool" his mother is, or how bad the absent parent is, or what terrible things that person has done, you are telling the child half of him is bad.

That is an unforgivable thing to do to a child. That is not love. That is possession. If you do that to your children, you will destroy them as surely as if you had cut them into pieces, because that is what you are doing to their emotions.


I sincerely hope that you do not do that to your children. Think more about your children and less about yourselves, and make your a selfless kind of love, not foolish or selfish, or your children will suffer.

Every Little Thing


It's alright to be upset over little things, it just shows how important it is for you.

Field of Flowers



Life is like a field full of flowers. 
There's a time for flowers to wither, 
there's a time for flowers to blossom. 
What matters most is the seed remains.

Failure


Don’t fear failure so much that you refuse to try new things.

Failure can either be a stepping stone to success or a stumbling to defeat.

Failure is just a resting place. It is an opportunity to begin again more intelligently.


Life is all about learning and one of the most memorable ways of learning something is by messing up.

Success is a poor teacher. We learn the most about ourselves when we fail, so don't be afraid of failing. Failing is part of the process of success. 
You cannot have success without failure.

Dreams



The size of your dreams must always 
exceed your current capacity to achieve them. 
If your dreams do not scare you, they are not big enough.

Direction

Efforts and courage are not enough without purpose and direction

It is the direction and not the magnitude which is to be taken into consideration

Lack of direction, not lack of time, is the problem. We all have twenty-four hours a day

I don't care what you're driving. If you're headed for a cliff, you have to change direction

It is the set of the sails, not the direction of the wind that determines which way we will go

You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You're on your own, and you know what you know. And you are the guy who'll decide where to go
