Today’s quotes surround the subject of bringing yourself wherever you go…and the reality that you can’t run away and escape yourself…

“Wherever you go, there you are. You would just have different problems. Are the problems you have now so bad that any other problems would be better?” (Ada Calhoun)

“Well, wherever you go, whatever you do, you’re still you. You can change your surroundings, start a new life, but you’ll always fall into the same old patterns, make the same kind of friends, commit the same mistakes. The thing you need to change is yourself.” (Chris Wooding)

“No matter wherever you go, you won’t be able to escape yourself, so learn to accept yourself.” (Jigisha Kothari)

“How far do you have to travel to find yourself? Do you have to go anywhere to find you? Where do you think you have to go? To some holy place to find yourself? Wherever you are, you are. And all you have to know, is to get to know yourself. That is so simple.” (Prem Rawat)

Today’s quotes surround the subject of global warming, a subject I often overlooked myself for years, always hearing about it on the news, never thinking about it much, until now.

“Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.” (Indian Proverb)

“Climate change is no longer some far-off problem; it is happening here, it is happening now.” (Barack Obama)

“I always wondered why somebody wasn’t doing much about global warming, then I realized I am somebody.” (Unknown)

“Global warming threatens our health, our economy, our natural resources, and our children’s future. It is clear we must act.” (Eliot Spitzer)

“We are living on this planet as if we had another one to go to.” (Terri Swearingen)

“Global warming is no longer a philosophical threat, no longer a future threat, no longer a threat at all. It’s our reality.” (Bill McKibben)

Today’s quotes surround the topic of bullying, a behavior that is toxic on every level. I’ve provided more than normal because I’ve been bullied before far too many times and each of these quotes really spoke to me on the subject.

“I realized that bullying never has to do with you. It’s the bully who’s insecure.” (Shay Mitchell)

“Is your child being bullied? Don’t make the assumption that s/he’s done something to bring on the teasing. Teasing isn’t always logical, and for your kid it doesn’t matter why – it just matters that it’s happening.” (Peggy Moss)

“Bullying is killing our kids. Being different is killing our kids and the kids who are bullying are dying inside. We have to save our kids whether they are bullied or they are bullying. They are all in pain.” (Cat Cora)

“It’s okay to dislike someone, or even dislike someone for no reason. But it’s not okay to disrespect, degrade, and humiliate that person.” (Unknown)

“When people say bad things about you it’s only because they are insecure with themselves. So next time someone says something mean remember it has NOTHING to do with you and EVERYTHING to do with them.” (Unknown)

“Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one’s definition of your life, but define yourself.” (Harvey S. Firestone)

“You are being bullied if someone constantly demeans you, makes negative remarks about you, yells at you, criticizes you, and gives suggestions to you and then gives you guilt trips if you don’t take those suggestions.” (Unknown)
