An oddity of life...

Blog quote #979...  
"There is nothing so fleeting, as the memory of benefits received."-Francesco Guicciardini- 
Ever notice people, are extremely quick to criticize, yet the compliments come along like tugboats. It's sad it's not fair, it doesn't make sense, and it's poor human behavior. But it is what people do. 
Let's do what we can to change that narrative.

The Huge Benefit--of Forgiveness

Blog quote #978...  
"When a deep injury is done to us, we never heal until we forgive." -Nelson Mandela -
Key words here 'never' and 'until.'  We think Mandela's statement is no less than brilliant. Anyone else have different views?  Please share.

on Lying...

Blog quote #977...  
"No man has a good enough memory to be a successful liar." -Abe Lincoln-
Lots of truth to that. 
So Abe would likely advise all of us, simply, to tell the truth!

The most amazing quality of Dogs...

Blog quote #976...  
"We give dogs time we can spare, space we can spare, and love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us--their ALL. It's the best deal man has ever made." -M.Facklarn-
EVER! Dog owners can fully resonate with this. 
There is no truer quote ever written than this one. Perhaps equal, but none more accurate. The dog- simply an incredible creature!

Sending the Elevator back down...

Blog quote #975...  
"If you're lucky enough to do well, it's your responsibility to send the elevator back down." -Kevin Spacey-
A couple of points. Note Spacey says 'lucky enough.'  Much of what we do- some is in our hands and plenty more is from our creator. Humans are in far less control of things than they want to believe. 
Need proof? How do you assure that you wake up tomorrow? Try stopping the sun from rising. How does one couple have 5 kids and others can't even conceive once? Why does one professional golfer have 15 hole- in- ones and another has zero? Many of the little things we call fate or coincidence...maybe not so. 
Next, Spacey infers that a way to appreciate your blessings(your responsibility) is to 'send the elevator back down' to lift or pick others up, and aid them- in them having the opportunities to success that you've been granted. 
In sum: Do well, count your blessings, then share and help others. What a beautiful, unselfish, caring formula. Thumbs up, Mr Spacey. You 'get it.'

The skill of Listening...

Blog quote #974...
"A pair of good ears will drain dry a hundred tongues." -Ben Franklin-
It's very clear, that there is a massive shortage of good, quality listeners in the world. 
What do you think Mr Franklin meant with his statement?

What a superb REMINDER...

Blog quote #973...
"Enjoy life. It has an expiration date.." -recently seen on a poster-
In other words, here's a newsflash- it doesn't go on forever. So let's all add a little urgency, appreciation, kindness and energy to life- while we still have it. 
Nice reminder, here.

A TENNIS Life Lesson

Blog quote #972...  
"Life is like a game of tennis. The person who serves well, seldom loses." -Bill Tilden-
Brilliant!  Absolutely true as well. Mr Tilden 'gets it' in life- it's more about serving others and less about me,me,me.
Some figure this out very quickly in life. Other unfortunate souls really never do, and many of those live life with a lot of miserable-ness going on inside their heads and hearts.

Slow Down, people!

Blog quote #971...  
"For fast acting relief, try slowing down." -Lily Tomlin-
We love both  the humor and irony in this quote. Anyone else out there think the world is moving at wayyy too fast a pace? 
People need to downshift a bit, and do some occasional cruising...

On 'stuff' that happens to us...

Blog quote #969...  
"Some is good. Some is not. But sometimes the yucky stuff happens for us instead of to us." -Paula Loree-
Wow is this both powerful and hits the bullseye. If we all had access to the Big Blueprint in the sky, we might understand a bit more, WHY things happen. 
On the other side, not sure what you think, but we think it would be very scary to have access to that visionary blueprint of what is to come. We'd likely try to alter the course of things and cause a whole bundle of different and more significant consequences, chain reactions, and giant problematic messes, like we could never imagine. 
Perhaps best we just leave it as is, and accept Ms Loree's explanation?

Get after it!

Blog quote #968...
"Life is something that has to be lived, and not just talked about." -Carl Jung-
Less gab, more grab (life by the horns). Less talk, more walk (the walk). Less chatter, more batter(up!)
Get after life and start living, instead of sitting in the stands. Besides, the bleachers are simply just not as much fun as participating in the game itself. Just a thought...

And we don't want to stifle creativity from individuals.

On reading books...

Blog quote #966.
"The book you don't read, won't help." -Jim Rohn-
Any Jim Rohn fans out there? If you ve never heard of him, here's an unsolicited tip-go buy or hit the library and borrow one of his books. Rohn is one of the best motivational heros, that many have never heard of.
And don't forget his tip above. Reading is very good for the average human.If you get a chance to learn something from a book that will help, do the reading!  (Sorry- unsolicited advice #2)

Not your normal golf instruction. Nonetheless, sage advice, from a guy who was known for a temper and had his share of club tosses!

Do you have access to the Fountain of Youth?

Blog quote #964.
"There is a fountain of youth: It is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life, and the lives of people you love. When you learn to tap into this source, you will truly have defeated age." -Sophia Loren-
There is a common  saying  'Age is all in the mind.'  Also 'You are only as old or young as you feel.' I believe Loren's  excellent statement taps into this "Age is just a number" when you are fully utilizing your mind, your talents and loving others deeply-- regardless if you are 14 or 86. Nice work here,Sophia.

'Only' 60 minutes?

Blog quote #961..
"Even the darkest hour- is only 60 minutes." -Unknown-
Surely we can last through that, can't we? Although this is not emotionally satisfying-- during that hell-ish hour, it does put a bigger perspective on just doing what we can, to hang on. The proverbial 'light'...IS coming.

What did Adam and Eve discuss?

Blog quote #959..
"Conversations between Adam and Eve must have been difficult at times because they had nobody to talk about." -Agnes Repplier-
Did you take this as some humor just conversing about others? Or, did you take this as 'How much time do we talk gossip about others, in today's world?' Interesting thoughts here...

Another thought on Perseverance...
