The Lord takes us into troubled waters not to drown us........but to cleanse us.
--------------------------------------------

If you feel overwhelmed by your anxiety, take a day at a time. Don't worry about the future because it will be here soon enough. As for the past it is OVER. Nobody is perfect, we all make mistakes. All of us have skeletons in the closet. So we can safely stop the guilt trip.

You will become a much more better person after this program. It is like cleansing yourself with new and good thoughts and getting rid of the old unworkable beliefs.We are not suffering because we are bad people, we are sufering because our old beliefs about ourselves just don't work at all.

Cleansing your thoughts is like the hourglass. The more sand that has escaped from the hourglass of our life, the clearer we should see through it.

It is time to reveal the new YOU.

Good luck in the program. After all genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. Keep at it. People around you will be the first to notice the difference in you.

Keep trying!

That was very uplifting and inspiring samantha Thank You for sharing it

I have a scripture that I live by:
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
Matthew 11:28-29-30

Ask and it will be given to you,seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks recieve's, he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be open.
Matthew 7:7-8

Cast all your anxiety's on Him, because He Cares.
1Peter5:7

God Bless Everyone
& Keep the Faith
John 14:27
Peace I leave with you. My peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
Smiles to all
Jesus Loves You
Your Friend

Hi everyone,

These are some of my favorite quotes...
This one is right from the program

If you always think the was you always thought, you'll always feel the way you've always felt. If you always do what you've always done, you'll only get what you've always gotten.

A prayer of invitation for the soul's journey
"I will to will Thy Will"

When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that IS just the place and time that the tide will turn.
-Harriet Beecher Stone-

Stimulating and invigorating as change may be-it is never easy...Changes are especially tough when it comes to certain habits that haunt and harm us. That kind of change is excruciating - BUT - it isn't impossible.
-author unknown-

If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, how ever measured or far away.
-Henry David Thoreau, Walden Pond-

These are just a few quotes that have helped me along this "bumpy" journey!

Chantal

"Realise that all unhappiness is caused by comparison. We only feel unhappy when we compare what we have now to something else or somebody else or perhaps when we were younger and possess certain honors and recognition. Where there is no comparison unhappiness is impossible. Happiness exists when the mind is not removed from itself, when it remains in the present time zone, when it declines to contrast itself with other times and conditions."
- Dr Robert Anthony

Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed.
- Booker T Washington

Some great quotes!

One of my favorites is:

"...(she) asks herself when she is afraid, 'What would you do now if you were not afraid?'"

Grace Butcher

Here's a couple of my favorite quotes:

Solutions unbalance any situation.
Imbalances reveal what you seek.
From Dune by Frank Herbert

You may make your plans, but God directs your actions. - Proberbs 16:9

Hope you like them!
