Hi everyone,

I am choosing to put this topic in this section of the board as sometimes it can get a bit low and I think it needs a positive boost! So I am suggesting if anyone has any favourite quotes to put them here, they are great for affirmations too.

I am going to kick off with several:

"If you do not hope, you will not find what is beyond your hopes".
St. Clement of Alexandra

"Nothing will ever be attempted if all possible objections must first be overcome".
Samuel Johnson

"Nothing contributes so much to tranquilize the mind as a steady purpose--
a point on which the soul may fix its intellectual eye".
Mary Shelley

"The unselfish effort to bring cheer to others will be the beginning of a happier life for ourselves."
Helen Keller

looking forward to hearing everyones

Love Robyn x

Hi Robs,
There is two posts in the spiritual support section like this...but not everyone goes in those sections do they.

My fav saying is a zen saying;

Look at the rainbow
It is only when the sky crys
that you see the colours
in the light.

Spirit.

i love that one!!! thanks Spirit

Yeh not everyone does, which is a shame but each to their own, and i thought i would make it more mainstream for people to say.

"The unselfish effort to bring cheer to others will be the beginning of a happier life for ourselves."
Helen Keller

I like this one! I think because of this DP we are focusing so much more on ourselves than we use to and by redirecting our efforts away from ourselves and onto others we will find our true purpose in life! Even before this DP I feel that I had focused on myself a bit to much and lead a selfish life to some extent and it has taken this experience to make me more aware of this. I now have more compassion and empathy towards the human race and feel so much better when I can put others needs in front of my own. Don?t get me wrong I have always been a people person and would always have a friendly hello for even a stranger walking by, but I think I could have done more, so I will make this a priority in my life for now on.

My grandmother used to say-
"the key to happiness is to get up and doing something you don't want to do but must get done"
It hasn't worked for me.

Hey Mark

I think you may have missed the point a bit? Ha

I think this quote means, you do somehting for someone withought thought of oneself, it's called giving of oneself, again you cannot put a price on ones time given

 

[Robsy]

Probably the question you're asking is how did Helen Keller learn to communicate in a socially acceptable way. She communicated just fine prior to being able to sign. Unfortunately, it was not socially acceptable.

Her family hired a teacher, Annie Sullivan to help control her. Annie would sign words into her hand when they would encounter various objects. For instance, she would put Helen's hand on grass and sign the letters for grass.

copied this from yahoo answers

shes was a remarkable woman
