Category: Thought For The Day

Today’s Thought For The Day follow up my article yesterday on how I’ve been finding it very hard to smile anymore. I thought today’s quotes really sum up quite nicely the perspective I was seeking through my writing on the subject…

“Making one person smile through an act of unconditional love can change the world. Maybe not the whole world, but their world.” (John Spence)

“If someone is too tired to give you a smile, leave one of your own, because no one needs a smile as much as those who have none to give.” (Samson Hirsch)

“Be the reason someone smiles. Be the reason someone feels loved and believes in the goodness of people.” (Roy T. Bennett)

“Sometimes the simplest of gestures, the smallest of compliments, or just knowing that someone is thinking about you and cares about you can be enough to make you genuinely smile when you most need it.” (Andrew Arthur Dawson)

Peace, love, light, and joy,

Today’s quotes are dedicated to all those out there that I expressed gratitude for in yesterday’s Grateful Heart Monday, who always look for the positive and good in others, rather than focusing in on the negative and bad…

“When you choose to see the good in others, you end up finding the good in yourself.” (Unknown)

“We experience God to the extend to which we love, forgive, and focus on the good in others and ourselves.” (Marianne Williamson)

“People say, find good people and leave the bad ones. But I say, find the good in people and ignore the bad in them. Because no one is perfect. (Unknown)

“If you let your friends, colleagues, and family know about the good that you see in them, it will help them to eventually see it for themselves too…” (Andrew Arthur Dawson)

The subject of today’s quotes is that of anger, a feeling that often is portrayed outward by many, but one that only arises from within…

“The smarter you get, the more you realize anger is not worth it.” (Maxime Legace)

“The greatest remedy for anger is delay.” (Seneca)

“Anger is inside you, revealed by an outside source.” (Henry R. Brandt)

“Your anger is unreasonable and unfair. Let it stay that way. Trying to make it seem reasonable, which usually consists of trying to make the resented person wrong, is the source of all the judgments and explanations that remove you further from the person and further from your experience of the sensations that arose in your body.” (Brad Blanton)

“Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.” (Mark Twain)

Peace, love, light, and joy,
