Inspirational Quotes



If you want something you never had,

do something you have never done.

Don’t go the way life takes you,

take the life the way you go.

And remember you are born to live

and not living because you are born.



Sometimes, you just can’t take things back to the way they used to be,

no matter how you try,

regardless of how sorry you are.

Because in life,

there are no rewinds,

only plays, so,

play it right.



Don’t focus on what you lost

but what remains.

Don’t focus on the pain

but how the pain shaped you.

Don’t focus on the failure

but on the great lessons

the failure taught you..

Think outside the box

An elderly lady went for breakfast at a restaurant where the "seniors' special" was two eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast for $1.99. "Sounds good, but I don't want the eggs”, said the lady.

"Then I'll have to charge you $2.99 because you're ordering a la carte," the waitress warned her.
"You mean I'd have to pay for not taking the eggs?"
"YES!!" stated the waitress.

"I'll take the special then’ the lady said. "How do you want your eggs?" the waitress asked.

"Raw and in the shell," the lady replied. She took the two eggs home

HOW TO STAY YOUNG

1. Throw out non-essential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That's why you pay them.

2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.

3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle.

4. Enjoy the simple things.

5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.

6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.

7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refugee.

8. Cherish your health. If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next country; to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is.

10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away!
