Do Not Allow

Do Not Allow:
Thoughts to discourage you.
Ignorance to deny you.
Words to hurt you.
Fear to defeat you.
Anger to distract you.
Hurt to weaken you.
Bullying to belittle you.
Insanity to upset you.
Criticism to damage you.

Remember Love above all things.
Listen for Goodness in your inner guidance.
Honor the worth of everyone, including you.
Love all people equally, making no one special.
Give the best you have in every relationship.
Take impeccable care of your personal self.
Fully appreciate your impersonal life of service.
Respect your values and live in integrity.
Play the game assisting everyone to win.

Loving you and me as One,
Betty Lue

A dear friend sent this to me:

Do not undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special.

Do not set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you.

Do not take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as you would your life, for without them, life is meaningless.

Do not let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past nor for the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live all of the days of your life.

Do not give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying. It is a fragile thread that binds us to each other.

Do not be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.

Do not shut love out of your life by saying it is impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give love. The fastest way to lose love is too hold it too tightly. In addition, the best way to keep love is to give it wings

Do not dismiss your dreams. To be without dreams is to be without hope. To be without hope is to be without purpose.

Do not run through life so fast that you forget not only where you have been, but also where you are going. Life is not a race, but a journey to be savoured each step of the way.

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you respond to it.

1. Love is when you take away the feeling, the passion, and the romance in a relationship and find out that you still care for that person.

2. When the door of happiness closes, another opens but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.

3. The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.

4. It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but
it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.

5. There are things you'd love to hear that you would never hear from the person who you would like to hear from, but don't be so deaf as not to hear it from the one who says it from their heart.

6. Don't go for looks, they can deceive. Don't go for wealth, in the end it fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.

7. Dream what you want to dream, go where you want to go, be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.

8. A careless word may kindle strife, a cruel word may wreck a life, a timely word may level stress, a loving word may heal and bless.

9. The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything, they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

10. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can't go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.
