“Life goes on, and one should look ahead and not backward.”
Sonali Bendre
I don’t know about you but I find that my life is constantly changing. I keep having to compensate for my failing eyesight and hearing loss while my life goes on. Rather than letting my infirmatives take me down I prefer to stay as upbeat as I can while finding ways to enjoy what I have.
Here are some quotes from Marc and Angel Chernoff that I agree with.
5 Quotes that Will Change How You Think and Handle Negative Situations
1. Taking a step back to gracefully walk away from situations that threaten your peace of mind, values, morals, or self-worth, is almost always a healthy and necessary step forward.
2. Sometimes you have to accept the fact that life has changed again, that things will never go back to how they used to be, and that this ending you’re thinking about is really a new beginning.
3. Trust the journey of your life, and you will gradually outgrow what you thought you couldn’t live without, and fall in love with what you didn’t even know you wanted.
4. Remember, peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no chaos, trouble, or hard realities to deal with. Peace means to be in the midst of all those things and still remain mentally, emotionally, and physically centered.
5. It takes roughly 66 days to form a new habit. So for the next nine weeks, wake up every morning and look at the right side, or perhaps the bright side, of your life and you will rewire your brain.
The bottom line is, despite the real world challenges you face, the biggest and most complex obstacle you will have to personally overcome on a daily basis is your own mind…
YES, YOU CAN THINK BETTER, which means you can tap into your inner strength and ultimately live better, one day at a time.
And yes, of course that’s sometimes easier said than done.
Thinking better when you’re in the heat of a tough season, or at a crossroads in life, takes guidance and practice.

Joe wanted to take up bowling, so his friend Dan decided to teach him about it. “First, you have to line your feet up with the center pin. Next, roll the ball down and try to knock down as many pins as you can, but DO NOT knock all of them down, or they cheat you out of your second ball!”

Forgiving is not forgetting. It’s letting go of the hurt.
