Thoughts to happiness.

Everybody Knows: You can't be all things to all people. 

You can't do all things at once. 

You can't do all things equally well. 

You can't do all things better than everyone else. 

Your humanity is showing just like everyone else's. 

So: 

You have to find out who you are, and be that. 

You have to decide what comes first, and do that. 

You have to discover your strengths, and use them. 

You have to learn not to compete with others, 

Because no one else is in the contest of being you. 

Then: 

You will have learned to accept your own uniqueness. 

You will have learned to set priorities and make decisions. 

You will have learned to live with your limitations. 

You will have learned to give yourself the respect that is due. 

And you'll be a most vital mortal. 

Dare To Believe: 

That you are a wonderful, unique person. 

That you are a once-in-all-history event. 

That it's more than a right, it's your duty, to be who you are. 

That life is not a problem to solve, but a gift to cherish. 

And you'll be able to stay one up on what used to get you down.

    When you become an Angel mountainsong.. that may well be the time you grow and improve, just as with us all ;) We all have a room.. a box to climb out of, once climb out of one box we have yet another and yet another box, continuous, never ending.. we recycle just like the boxes them self get recycled and we peddle away on our cycles to journeys unknown but do we ever reach our throne?

    I do believe we should love ourselves and be happy, but there's always room to grow beyond who we are and what we're capable of doing.

    Hmmm... It is true ironbutterly, our whole life is spent on becoming the best we can be, both at abilities and more important as people. Thank you for your input which is appreciated!

    I read this again, this morning, and thought about what it said. As rosey as it may have sounded, it lacked abit.  (okay you all can hate me for this ..haha :) )  I'd like to add a few, if I may...

    To know our weaknesses, is to know where we need to improve ourselves, not to be content to being who we are, but to strive to be a better person.  Not everyone IS a wonderful person, but everyone has the option to become a better person, to care for others more than themselves, which in turn, makes them a wonderful person in the other's eyes.  To know our weaknesses, is to also know when to depend on God's strength for guidance. 

    Life, which should be cherished,  is full of problems and trials, and it's the "working through them", that makes us more aware of who we are and the changes that are being made within us, to become the person that we are meant to be. 

    To know our limitations? Go beyond. Reach as far as you can to meeting your dreams, use the talents, in a good way,  that were God- given to you and be thankful for what you've been given in life.  YOU ARE precious in his sight, and your very being was bought with a high price. 

    We are to love ourselves as we love others ...

    Enough said..hm maybe I should write my own blog.  haha!
