Two differing thoughts from two very different people struck me today.
Consult not your fears, but your hopes and dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but in your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you have tried and failed in, but what is still possible for you to do.
Pope John XXIII
I am still determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever situation I may be; for I have learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends on our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances.
Martha Washington
I believe that your attitude not your aptitude will determine your altitude in life. Attitude and discipline can overcome most everything.

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

A Shout Out to Angelina Jolie
This woman has made a statement for all human kind.
My wife and daughter have both been stricken and overcome this dreadful disease. My daughter asked her medical doctor to perform preventative surgery twice. On the cancer threat and the BRCA1 gene she inherited from my wife and her family the doctor played GOD and denied her. It was less than four years later that she found her cancer and had the surgeries and the chemotherapy. The chemotherapy at the least could have been avoided and the trauma and fear inflicted on her young children could have been avoided.
The medical and insurance communities need to grow up and not be smug about their role in the lives of their patients
Thank you Angelina.

Thought of The Day #16
In one of the Friday Filosophy quotes today there is Benjamin Disraeli suggesting that to be successful we must be ready when it comes. I agree with that whole heartedly and would like to add a thought. I believe that each of us has at least three opportunities to succeed in our lives. The trick is not just being able to take advantage of them when they come – it is many times just a function that we don’t recognize them when they come.
The time is now.

Change and growth take place when a person has risked himself and dares to become involved with experimenting with his own life.

One secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes.

Thought of The Day #16
In many ways, through the course of our lives, we feel buffeted with conditions that we can not control so we just go along. That thinking truly belongs in the garbage bin. You should never settle – you should never compromise on your principles. Be true to your core beliefs and follow your dreams. The market is the same for everyone so make the best of it. The world is the same for everyone so work your way through the challenges. Life is incredibly simple….. it is people that screw it up.
The time is now.

Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.

To do the useful thing, to say the courageous thing, to contemplate the beautiful thing; that is enough for one man’s life
T.S. Eliot
We learn wisdom from failure much more than success. We often discover what we will do, by finding out what we will not do.
Samuel Smiles
Success does not consist in never making blunders, but in never making the same one a second time.
