LOVE, Kloudiia

I’ve never wished I could kick again. I like the way I am now. I enjoy being me. If I could kick, I might not even be world record holder in three events.

                        ~ Yip Pin Xiu, Gold Paralympics Medalist, 2008 Beijing Olympics

The power of focusing on what we want by making use of what we have, rather than focusing on what we lack. How many of us are doing this, actually?

This quote was taken from Pin Xiu’s interview with The Straits Times.

Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward togethr in the same direction.

                                   ~ Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Life isn’t something you can give an answer to today. You should enjoy the process of waiting, the process of becoming what you are. There is nothing more delightful than planting flower seeds and not knowing what kind of flowers are going to come up.

                                                                        – Milton Erickson

I stole this from the ever-enlightening Life Coaches Blog. Found it too good to resist! Plus, knowing Alvin won’t sue me gives me another reason to steal it and put it here!

Anxiety is caused by a lack of control,
organisation, preparation and action.

                            ~ observed thinker David Kekich

I’ve learned that people will forget what you said,
people will forget what you did,
but people will never forget how you made them feel.

We walk by faith
and not by sight.

There’s a cure for aging that no one talks about.
It’s called learning.

                                    ~ Robin Sharma, from his best-selling book The Greatness Guide

The truest greatness lies in being kind, the truest wisdom in a happy mind.

                                                       ~ Ella Wheeler Wilcox

I found this quote and thought it’s the best time to post up now, after my recent post on happiness.

Don’t waste life in doubts and fears;

spend yourself on the work before you,

well assured that the right performance of this hour’s duties will be the best preparation for the hours and ages that will follow it.

                                                 ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Came just when I need it. Is God speaking to me?

All the best things in life come packaged in a ribbon of risk.

You untie the gift, you assume the risk, and equally the joy.

Parenthood is like that. Marriage is like that.

Friendship is like that.

In order to experience life in the full sense,

you expose yourself to a bottomless pit of vulnerability.

That is the essence of true love.
