The Inward Journey Home
In your
heart and mind and spirit, in the
very center of the whirl of life
around you, THERE IS A PLACE YOU
CAN COME HOME TO. But you cannot find
it by going outward, by looking for a
new house or waiting to fix up your
present one. Being "at
home" is a journey inward. It is
a perception of a clear, nurturing
space within you. And it's also a
special, valued space in loved ones,
co-workers and friends that each of
us can learn to support and
appreciate.

The Man in
the Glass
When you get what you
want in your struggle for self
And the world makes you king for a
day,
Just go to a mirror and look at
yourself,
And see what that man has to say.
For it isn't your father or mother or
wife,
Whose judgement upon you must pass;
The fellow whose verdict counts most
in your life
Is the one starring back from the
glass.
He's the fellow to please, never mind
all the rest.
For he's with you clear up to the end,
And you've passed the most dangerous,
difficult test
If the man in the glass is your
friend.
You may fool the whole world down the
pathway of years.
And get pats on the back as you pass,
But your final reward will be the
heartaches and tears
If you've cheated the man in the
glass.

The Woman
in the Glass
When
you get what you want in your struggle
for self,
and the world makes you queen for a
day,
Just go to a mirror and look at
yourself,
and see what that woman has to say.
Some people may think you a
straight-shootin' chum,
And call you a person of place,
But the woman in the glass says you're
only a bum
if you can't look her straight in the
face.
She's the woman to please, never mind
all the rest,
For she's with you clear up to the
end,
And you've passed your most dangerous,
difficult test,
If the woman in the glass is your
friend.
You may fool the whole world down the
pathway of years,
And get pats on the back as you pass,
But your final reward will be
heartaches and tears,
If you've cheated the woman in the
glass!

The
Power to Make Myself Happy or Unhappy
Today!
1.) I love you
not because of who you are, but
because of who I am when I am with
you.
2.) No man is worth your
tears, and the one who is ,won't make
you cry.
3.) Just because someone
doesn't love you the way you want them
to, doesn't mean they don't love you
with all they have
4.) A true friend is
someone who reaches for your hand and
touches your heart.
5.) The worst way to miss
someone is to be sitting right beside
them knowing you can't have
them.
6.) Never frown, even when
your are sad, because you never know
who is falling in love with your
smile.
7.) To the world you
may be one person, but to one person
you may be the world.
8.) Don't waste your
time on a man/woman, who isn't willing
to waste their time on you
9.) Maybe God wants
us to meet a few wrong people before
meeting the right one, so that when we
finally meet the person, we will know
how to be grateful.
10.) Don't cry because it
is over, smile because it happened.
11.) There's always going
to be people that hurt you so what you
have to do is keep on trusting and
just be more careful about who you
trust next time around.
12.) Make yourself a
better person and know who you are
before you try and know someone else
and expect them to know you.
13.) Don't try so hard,
the best things come when you least
expect them to.
REMEMBER:
WHATEVER HAPPENS, HAPPENS FOR A REASON
