Here are some of my favorite sayings and words of wisdom which hold the most personal value to me. I hope you carry them with you:

Attitude is everything.

Freedom = Passive Income > Expenses
Job Security is an oxymoron.
Being poor is the failure to implement a good idea.
If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door. - Milton Berle
Whether you believe you will succeed or you believe you will fail, you're right.
Your time is your most valuable asset. Invest it wisely.
Work for a life, and let someone else work for a living, for you.
If your business can't survive without you, you don't have a business, you have a job.
Great minds talk about things. Mediocre minds talk about people.
Every ending marks a new beginning.

Truth, beauty, and simplicity are interchangeable.
"Love is something you do, the sacrifices you make.... unless people develop a tremendous reservoir of emotional capacity and independence they will not have the power to love unconditionally." - Dr. Stephen Covey
Hope is the least expensive and most powerful gift you can ever give someone.
Spirit knows no limits, no boundaries. Religion, on the other hand, is limited to traditions of men. Spirituality and Religion have little or nothing to do with one another. - me
Hatred is a weakness.
Finally, my favorite saying of all time: Give them want they want, if what they want is hell.

Have you ever been through a rough breakup and you begin to question if love is real, and what love really is? I've been feeling that way. A friend of mine sent me this poem it vibed well with me so I'm reposting for you, check it out:

Love is
being happy for the other person they are happy
being sad for the person when they are sad
being together in good times and being together in bad times
and never pretending
Love is the source of reality

Love is
an understanding that is so complete that
you feel as if you are a part of the other person
accepting the person just the way they are
and not trying to change them to be something else
Love is the source of unity

Love is
the freedom to pursue your own desires
while sharing your experinces with the other person
the growth of the one individual alongside of
and together with the growth of another individual
Love is the source of success

Love is
the excitement of planning things together
the excitement of doing things together
Love is the source of the future

Love is
the fury of the storm
the calm in the rainbow
Love is the source of passion

Love is
giving and taking in a daily situation
being patient with each other's needs and desires
Love is the source of sharing

Love is
knowing that the person
will always be with you regardless of what happens
missing the other person when they are away
but remaining near in heart at all times
Love is the source of security

Love is the source of life.

- Susan Polis Schutz.

It’s all in the Mind...

What ever happened to goals and the truth,
the things that you wanted & believed in your youth.
And what has become of innocent times,
the world can be puzzling if it starts to unwind.

Where did we go wrong to end up in this mess,
give up on performance and settle for less.
The answer should not be a surprise...
you made this yourself with the power of mind.

The future began as a beautiful dream,
turned into reality and is not what it seems.
You started a succession of powerful sources,
thoughts are like lightning & magical forces.

Your words are the structure to what is achieved,
you make your own future, it’s part of the scheme.
But negative thinking on a regular basis...
believe me you’re playing in dangerous places.

Set into motion only positive thoughts,
fly high and don’t give up, all those goals that you sought.

 

Think into being is the gift of this life.
it’s so simple, you could miss it ~ and pay dues all your life!

BELIEVE WHILE OTHERS
- William Arthur Ward

Believe while others are doubting.

Plan while others are playing.

Study while others are sleeping.

Decide while others are delaying.

Prepare while others are daydreaming.

Begin while others are procrastinating.

Work while others are wishing.

Save while others are wasting.

Listen while others are talking.

Smile while others are frowning.

Commend while others are criticizing.

Persist while others are quitting.

1. How You Think Is Everything: Always be positive. Think success, not failure. Beware of a negative environment.

2. Decide Upon Your True Dreams and Goals: Write down your specific goals and develop a plan to reach them.

3. Take Action: Goals are nothing without action. Don't be afraid to get started. Just do it.

4. Never Stop Learning: Go back to school or read books. Get training and acquire skills.

5. Be Persistent And Work Hard: Success is a marathon, not a sprint. Never give up.

6. Learn To Analyze Details: Get all the facts, all the input. Learn from your mistakes.

7. Focus Your Time And Money: Don't let other people or things distract you.

8. Don't Be Afraid To Innovate; Be Different: Following the herd is a sure way to mediocrity.

9. Deal And Communicate With People Effectively: No person is an island. Learn to understand and motivate others.

10. Be Honest And Dependable; Take Responsibility: Otherwise Numbers 1 through 9 won't matter.

It is the Mission of the Laban Johnson Group to Improve the Quality of Life. This mission has many enemies. 

Depression is a mental illness which knows no color, nor class. It doesn't distinguish between rich and poor. It is a common enemy which affects us all directly or indirectly.

Many mental disorders such as Bipolar disporder, A.D.D. and A.D.H.D and others are genetic and run in many families, including my own. I have witnessed first hand the destructive effects of mental disorders families, relationships, and lives.

Therefore anything I can do to help increase awareness and soften the harsh impact, as well as to find cures, remedies and treatments is all something very near and dear to my heart.

I am very thankful to have been blessed with an opportunity to help develop a new online community project for those of us who suffer from depression and/or other mental illness.

The name of this project is The Friend Circle, located at http://www.TheFriendCircle.com .

The purpose of this community is to build a safe haven for who suffer from depression and just need someone to talk to and air out their feelings without fear of being judged or mistreated for feeling the way you do. Sometimes just talking about it can make all the difference in the world, and The Friend Circle is a place where you will be embraced by people who understand the unique issues you face.

We will also discuss common remedies and cures, both natural and pharmaceutical, as well as mental therapy and counselling, to help those in need find the answers they seek.

But most importantly The Friend Circle enables people to build lasting relationships with other who understand one another deeply. I think there is nothing that can help turn a situation around in one's own mind quite like a true friend. The smiles created by medication are artificial and fleeting, whereas the smiles created by a friend are genuine and long-lasting!

So join us at TheFriendCircle.com, and help put a smile on someone's face!
