Thoughts to Consider

I recently found myself uttering a certain phrase that I adopted had some years ago, but often struggle to automatically recall when I need to. I began to think of other phrases, some original and some that I have borrowed from others. I would like to share those with you today; a copy of which I will be posting on my office wall and refrigerator as a reminder.

A closed mouth can gather no foot.
If you can laugh at it, it can't kill you.
That which does not kill you, makes you stronger.
Success is the best revenge.
They are not doing it to me... they are just doing it.
What you think of me is none of my business.
In the grand scheme of things, will it (that which I am dealing with or worrying about) ultimately matter.
I can gather more flies with honey. (Now why would I want to do that?)
I don't have a dog in that fight. (Mind my own business.)
They are not obstacles, but merely stepping stones.
I can't wait to see what good will come out of this situation.
When you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas.
What goes around, comes around.
Whatever you can do, or dream that you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. (Goethe)
Laughter is the bridge between two strangers - and the gift that keeps on giving.

Affirmation for the Week:

“My thoughts and my beliefs guide my life.”

Have a successful and focused week!
