Quotes that I like

[CMF]

I couldn't think of a more creative name for this thread so I kept it simple. I love coming across quotes that make me feel good or make me think about a situation in a different light. I have a "little book of confidence" that I used to carry in my handbag for when i needed it and I have a few other little books with quotes that I reflect on now and then

I thought it would be good to share some and encourage others to do the same.

For starters I have:

If you want to know someone's mind, listen to their words. If you want to know their heart, watch their actions.

People are not addicted to alcohol or drugs, they are addicted to escaping reality.

Hi smallwolf, you're inspiring me to post on the "three things to be grateful for today" thread!

I like this one as I'm working on my comedic skills! Even that's funny in itself lol.

"To succeed in life you need three things; a wishbone, a back bone and a funny bone."

Hi everyone,

I came across this beautiful quote. Personally, I think it captures THE WHOLE lifespan of any individual.

"God grant me the SERENITY to accept the things I cannot change, COURAGE to change the things I can, and WISDOM to know the difference"

I think that is the prayer used by AA. it is finding the balance of what can and can not change.

Yes exactly right! When I studied Clinical and Abnormal psychology at university, we read a lot of AA!

(Earlier alternative version, because running gags for the win)

K: Okay, you’ve got your little boys, your saveloys, your mini red sausages...

S: What about your cocktail footy franks, Mrs. D?

K: Oh no, Sharon, that’s just confuse everyone!

Hey Jasjit....

"God grant me the SERENITY to accept the things I cannot change, COURAGE to change the things I can, and WISDOM to know the difference"

It's called "The Serenity Prayer" and it's great isn't it!

Yes all the "12 Step Programs" have this as a basis plus a WHOLE lot more like 12 steps lol... the learning is so valuable in 12 Step Programs.

Nice one Jasjit.
