Just a few random thoughts this morning. All of ya'll know I collect these little quotes and I just wanted to share a couple this morning with my thoughts added.
"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us."
There is so much wisdom in this one line! To me this says what you have been through (there's that word again) and what you will still go through really are small matters. It is what lies within us that determines how we dealt with and will deal with those things in life that we all go through. Sometimes you have to dig a little deeper to find the strength and character needed to deal with things. This is just my personal opinion and that and 50 cents won't even get you a cup of coffee, but how you respond to those things that happen to you really is a reflection of your character. Which leads me to quote # 2.
"Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Because your character is who you really are. Your reputation is merely what others think of you."
Does that mean you should not be concerned with your reputation? No, that is not it at all. To me it simply means at the end of the day when I look at myself and am content with who I am. After all, I am the one who has to live with me. Remember your character is a reflection of how you treat others, especially those who are unable to do anything for you. With all that being said, when I lay down at night I want to be content with the person I am and not be overly concerned with how others see me.
Have a great day boys and girls. To be continued I am sure.
