My Life Is The Only One I Have

I think loving your life is probably the secret of looking good.
(Eva Cavalli)

I don’t have any regrets whatsoever because it has been my life… I’ve been very privileged, I’m lucky and I’m still alive.
(Helen Baxendale)

I am finally waking up to the fact that life is here to be lived… it is the only one I have.
(Liz Jones)

I have a heart defect – but I don’t let the condition rule my life.
As I’ve got older I’ve learnt to listen to my body more.
In 2007, doctors found that I have a bicuspid valve, which means my heart needs to work harder in order to function.
Around the same time, my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer.
They were two major wake-up calls.
In my own case, I felt as if my body was shouting at me, pleading with me to slow down a bit.
It’s just something that I need to monitor, and I have to get regular scans.
It might deteriorate, it might not.
If it does then I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it.
(Edith Bowman)

Lily Allen tweeted that I was a trollop.
That was hard to take, especially as I’d never even met her.
(Edith Bowman)

In Dreams We Can Wish Anything To Happen

Dreams can give us more pleasure than reality…
In dreams we can go beyond reality…
We can go anywhere we please.

Those with regrets stay down on the ground.
Those with no regrets reach up for the stars.

Evolution starts after life…
Evolution did not create life.

When we have found our gift in life, and our purpose…
Then it is our duty to give it away.

In dreams no reasons are necessary… we can wish anything to happen… we don’t need to apologise… there are no rules… there are no limits.

If we don’t keep our feet on the ground… there is no knowing where we might be swept off to.

Do Not Worry (Words Of Jesus Christ)

Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink.
Or about your body, what you will wear.
Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?
Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.
Are you not much more valuable than they?
Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
And why do you worry about clothes?
See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labour or spin.
Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendour was dressed like one of these.
If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’
For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.
Each day has enough trouble of its own.

(Words of Jesus Christ, Matthew 6:25-34)

How Can Earth Be A Random Event?

Just be ordinary and nothing special.
Eat your food, move your bowels, pass water…
And when you’re tired, go and lie down.
The ignorant will laugh at me, but the wise will understand.
(Bruce Lee)

The good who have faith in God need not worry about anything… It is the evil and the wicked who need to worry.

Some have a good-looking physical body, but don’t have the heart and soul to go with it.

If you need to cry, then cry… then wipe your eyes… otherwise your tears won’t let you see the stars.

Those who copy and try to behave like others, are usually those who cannot bear to see themselves as they are.

How can the creation of Earth be a random event?
Earth provides us with all we need… food, water, medicine, shelter… the air that we breathe… and shields that protect us from both UV and cosmic radiation.

When you look back at what you did yesterday… was it worthwhile?

We Are All Travellers In The Wilderness

There are many sad souls in the world longing to be understood by someone who really cares.

As the virus of ‘political correctness’ spreads, the relative value of common sense diminishes.

Whether we believe in a next life or not, the very existence of this life is meant for happiness.

I do not gossip… I convey the speedy transmission of near factual information.

Take risks on an everyday basis, then you’ll be more likely to take controlled risks under pressure.

Speech is the small change of silence.

If you think you need to understand modern art… stop thinking.

We are all travellers in the wilderness of this world, and the best we can find in our travels is an honest friend.

Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and heed the things which are written in it… for the time is near.

Life Is About Understanding How To Lose

When morals decline and good men do nothing, evil flourishes.
(J Edgar Hoover)

We are over leaders.
We are not interested in ideology anymore – we just want things to work properly and fairly.
(Jarvis Cocker)

We as a society need to look beyond ourselves and our ‘leaders’ if we want things to improve.
(Jarvis Cocker)

Life is about thoughts… about dreams and hopes… about letting go and holding on… about understanding how to lose.

One gift we all have got, the priceless gift of friendship, and surely that’s a lot.

Life is sometimes complicated, sometimes painful, sometimes cruel… but the good bits are a gift, so let’s just live.

There are many sad, unfortunate people in the world… just waiting for someone to save them.

Words From Bruce Lee

Art calls for complete mastery of techniques, developed by reflection within the soul.

To spend time is to pass it in a specified manner.
To waste time is to expend it thoughtlessly or carelessly.
We all have time to either spend or waste and it is our decision what we do with it.
But once passed, it is gone forever.

For it is easy to criticize and break down the spirit of others, but to know yourself takes a lifetime.

Defeat is not defeat unless accepted as a reality in your own mind.

Everything you do, if not in a relaxed state will be done at a lesser level that you are proficient.

Using no way as a way, having no limitation as limitation.

Life’s battles don’t always go to the stronger or faster man.
But sooner or later the man who wins, is the man who thinks he can.

Moving, be like water. Still, be like a mirror.
Respond like an echo.

The idea is that flowing water never goes stale, so just keep on flowing.

As long as I can remember I feel I have had this great creative and spiritual force within me that is greater than faith, greater than ambition, greater than confidence, greater than determination, greater than vision.
It is all these combined.
My brain becomes magnetized with this dominating force which I hold in my hand.

The spirit of the individual is determined by his dominating thought habits.

Those who are unaware they are walking in darkness will never seek the light.

Never waste energy on worries or negative thoughts….
All problems are brought into existence – drop them.

We Are All Angels With Only One Wing

If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain.
(Emily Dickinson)

Life’s a bitch. You’ve got to go out and kick ass.
(Maya Angelou)

The day which we fear as our last is but the birthday of eternity.
(Seneca)

If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough.
(Meister Eckhart)

Wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving.
(Kahlil Gibran)

Judge nothing, you will be happy…. Forgive everything, you will be happier…. Love everything, you will be happiest.
(Chinmoy)

We are each of us angels with only one wing, and we can fly only by embracing each other.
(Luciano De Crescenzo)

Quotes From Bruce Lee

Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it.

As you think, so shall you become.

I fear not the man who has practised 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practised one kick 10,000 times.

If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you’ll never get it done.

Knowledge will give you power, but character respect.

Man, the living creature, the creating individual, is always more important than any established style or system.

Notice that the stiffest tree is most easily cracked, while the bamboo or willow survives by bending with the wind.

Obey the principles without being bound by them.

Real living is living for others.

Showing off is the fool’s idea of glory.

Take no thought of who is right or wrong or who is better than. Be not for or against.

The possession of anything begins in the mind.

In great attempts it is glorious even to fail.

Time means a lot to me because you see I am also a learner and am often lost in the joy of forever developing.

If there is a God, he is within.
You don’t ask God to give you things, you depend on God for your inner theme.

If you don’t want to slip up tomorrow, speak the truth today.

Life Is Like Going Through A Storm

The moon and the stars are there to guide us…. to talk to when we are lonely…. to look up to when we are sad…. and to shout at when we are angry.

Our dreams can travel fast and far, reaching out to touch a star…. breaking free from time and space, soaring beyond this mundane place.

Sometimes I’m glad, sometimes I’m sad…. sometimes I’m up, sometimes I’m down…. but my soul still feels heavenly bound.

Our life is like going through a storm, avoiding the thunder and lightning…. until we reach the rainbow.

Live your life laughing…. so that when you die you’re smiling…. and all those at your funeral are crying.

Very few things in life are really important.
Life has to be lived, and that’s all there is to it.

The greatest loss in life is what dies inside us while we live.
