Make today-- a day to give out COMPLIMENTS!

Blog quote #889...
"I can live for a whole year off a good compliment." - Mark Twain-  

This quote is further proof how much we hunger for  praise, direction, and compliments in life. A simple affirmation, an encouraging comment, or a bit of praise can move mountains for many.   

Give some thought today  who it is, that you can lend a word of encouragement to. And don't leave out the successful or well off. Everyone wants to be appreciated.

That's my view...what say you?

The Snowflake-- how is this possible??

Blog quote #888...
"They say that every snowflake is different. If that were true how could the world go on? How could we ever get up off our knees? How could we ever recover--from the wonder of it?"- Jeanette Winterson, British Author-  

Watch out, for the more you think about this statement- the  greater the potential for it to blow the top off your mind. Just  give a quick thought to how many snowflakes make up an inch of snow. Let alone the amount it takes to cover the entire Rockie Mountains, or the Andes, or the Swiss Alps. 

And the fact that each and every one of those flakes is unique and completely different... WOW! Amazing! How does THAT ever happen?

Problems--Maybe yours Aren't So Bad, after all?

Blog quote #887...
"What's that saying...If you are sitting at a table with a group and each of you put your problems in the middle--99% of the time,  after reviewing what's been added to the pile, you'll take yours back in a heartbeat. "- shared by Carol Schmeiser-  

Something powerful to think about today. Everyone(including you) is fighting some sort of battle.Spread more empathy and compassion,  today, this week,  and perhaps every day, going forward.

On Changing People's BELIEFS...

Blog quote #885...
"For those who believe no proof is necessary. For those who don't believe, no proof is possible."  -Stuart Chase-

Superb quote here, with a variety of ways to interpret it.

A scientist may disagree with it as s(he) will always be trying to find proof to go against their belief. To the open minded, they would also likely disagree with this statement as they'd  listen and then three things could happen. These three are  a.) they could still agree to disagree  b.) they could modify, saying 'Geez, I never thought about that, let me re-adjust my position slightly,' or c.) they could say  'Wow, I never saw that, you are right. I now see and think what you think.'

Then you have the hard headed, opinionated human who is locked in on their belief. Could be a political or spiritual belief, could be a thought on how to run a business, to play a game, to solve a problem or  anything else. To that individual, this quote applies perfectly. They have their thought, and it's not going to change.  

As a heads up, it's usually more amicable and easier to associate with the open minded type  Hmm...

Everyone fighting BATTLES- more kindness , please!

Blog quote #884...
"Please be kind to everyone you meet; for  everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about."  -Unknown-

Just a heads up. A little kindness shared with others goes a long way. Who knows what that other person went through recently or even this morning?  Hmm...

Just how IMPORTANT are you...?

Blog quote #883...
"In order to keep a true perspective of one's importance, everyone should have a dog that will worship him and a cat that will ignore him."  -Dereke Bruce-

Histrionic humor here. With a whole lot of truth packed in as well! (Gold star for anyone who knows what histrionic means)
