Mind Over Emotions

George H. W. Bush: We cannot hope only to leave our children a bigger car, a bigger bank account. We must hope to give them a sense of what it means to be a loyal friend, a loving parent, a citizen who leaves his home, his neighborhood, and town better than he found it.

Bill Colby: You know the only people who are always sure about the proper way to raise children? Those who’ve never had any.

Robert Fulghum: Don’t worry that the children never listen to you, worry that they are always watching you.

Thomas Bray:  Never fear spoiling children by making them too happy. Happiness is the atmosphere in which all good affections grow.

Malcolm Stevenson Forbes: Let your children go if you want to keep them.

Carl Gustav Jung: Nothing has a stronger influence psychologically on their environment and especially on their children than the unlived life of the parent.

Tom Cruise:  I’m a father, you know. I always wanted to be a father. Remember when you first held your child? It’s like wow, tremendous sense of responsibility.

Eminem: I’m busy, and I stay busy, but I want to remain in control of things where I can stay in the city and go home at night to my kids. I’m a father before anything else, and anybody who knows me knows that that’s the most important thing to me, that I can be close to my kids and be there.

Nat King Cole: I felt something impossible for me to explain in words. Then when they took her away, it hit me. I got scared all over again and begin to feel giddy. Then it came to me – I was a father.

Author Unknown: A father is someone who carries pictures where his money used to be.

We both decided to break up;

I endure the pain and try to stop my tears to drop.

It hurts even more looking at your pouting lips;

For the last time you wrap me

With your sweet embrace.

 

The feelilng of sadness,

The sense of loneliness,

Reminiscing your sweet kisses,

Broke my heart into pieces.

 

Wherever I go, whatever I do,

All the things around, just remind me of you;

My tears constantly fall,

And I can’t help it, for now I care for nothing at all.

 

I think of you every single minute,

Hoping that you still love me, even just a bit;

Here, I am now missing you,

Wondering if I can open your heart,

And still find my slot.

 

I wish I had never let you go,

I find it hard to let this feeling flow;

Now, I don’t know where to go,

Without you, this world spins so slow.

These are some of those messages we might have read through text. Often times, we ignore these messages thinking they don’t make any sense. Just a forwarded text. but if you get to analyze it, you’ll see that it’s not just a crappy text message. It’s more than that. Even a "joke" could mean something. It reflects ourselves. It get in touch with our inner feelings. It may just be a short message but it may inspire those who are lucky in love to love more; spans emotions from hate and despair to acceptance and admiration; soothes a troubled mind; may strengthen our faith in God and can make us realize that there are reasons for everything. i am not saying that we rely on quotes but might, in some way, make us think….realize.

 

- Repeated experiences have one aim: to teach us the lesson we refuse to learn.

- People change for two reasons… either they learn enough that they want to…or they’ve been hurt enough that they have to.

- Understand h6w beautifully God has added one more day in your life. Not because you need it, but because someone else needs you.
