Alternatives, Options, and Substitutions Create New Answers!


The blind can see and the deaf can hear; 
 they just do it another way. 




Don't let life's roadblocks stop you.  
Find or build a new path, 
and keep moving forward.

Empathy...


Empathy is designed to put yourself 
in another person’s shoes 
to feel their feelings, 
as though it was happening to you.  
Then you speak...

You're An Original - No One Else Can Duplicate Y o u !

"When you do the common things in life

in an uncommon way,

you will command the attention

of the world."

~George W. Carver


Simply put, be yourself.  
You are an original and no one else can duplicate you.  
Be unique.  
That is showing your true identity 
as one-of-a-kind.

Y E S ! Bless Your Enemy!


Bless your enemy,
and you rob him of his ammunition.
His arrows will be transmuted into blessings.
This law is true of nations as well as individuals.
vvvv
Bless a nation,
send love and good-will to every inhabitant,
and it is robbed of its power to harm.
~ Florence S. Shinn
(1871-1940)

Her metaphysical works began with her self-published The Game of Life and How to Play it in 1925. Your Word is Your Wand was published in 1928 and The Secret Door to Success in 1940. The Game of Life and How to Play it includes quotes from the Bible and anecdotal explanations of the author's understanding of God and man. Her philosophy centers on the power of positive thought and usually includes instructions for verbal or physical affirmation.
A typical Scovel Shinn piece of advice would be "It is safe to say that all sickness and unhappiness come from the violation of the law of love. A new commandment I give unto you, 'Love one another,' and in the Game of Life, love or good-will takes every trick."

When should you, "hold your tongue"?

“Learning to hold your tongue at the right moment,
at the right time, in the right place, could be the very thing that saves a meaningful relationship!

Most of the time—the thing that you'd like
to say about or to that person...
they already know!

LOL!

This is not easy,
but patience is a fruit
of the spirit.”

~Richmond Kodua

Change...is gonna do you good.





"It is not the strongest of the species that survive,
nor the most intelligent,
but the one most responsive to change."
~ Charles Darwin

The Most Rare and Valuable Gifts...



What we truly appreciate in life; rarely are the things that can be bought. 


The things that are given freely from the heart and soul,
are the most rare and valuable gifts to share and receive.

Pain is an Opportunity to Learn!

There is Wisdom and Power in Pain
Pain teaches you many things about yourself.  
It shows you just what you are made of and how to overcome obstacles.  
It becomes an opportunity to view the world and other people through a completely new set of eyes.
  Pain allows us to grow, to reach, and to achieve a higher awareness of self.
Pain is an opportunity to learn.
~Kim Franklin-Magana 

CONTROL!

"The measure of a man's estimate 
of your strength 

is the kind of weapons he feels
 that he must use 

in order to hold you fast 
in a prescribed place."

~ Harold Whitman

Trust Yourself!

When they say you can't, you can.

What they are really saying is... I can't.
(They’re probably right.)

~Kim Franklin-Magana

Set Your Own Limitations!


Do just once
what others say you can't do,
