Quotes and Notes to myself


Actions always prove why words mean nothing. We have all experienced the pain of broken promises and should understasnd that people often promise more than they can deliver.

If we are not intentional about how we spend our time, it easily evaporates.

Sieze the day, trusting as little as possible in the next one.


Rules of conduct - Hail:

Honesty
Authenticity
Integrity
Love


God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;
The insight to priortize wisely what I want to change;
The patience to resist trying to everything I could, had I the energy and the time;
The courage and the skill to change the things I have chosen to change;
And the wisdom to know the differences among all these.

- Dr. Edward Hallowell
(The serenity Prayer adapted for A.D.D.)


Use your energy to fight today's battles. Past losses can't be regained. Save your energy to be in the now. Stop over-complicating life because it robs daily life of all Joy.

A lazy boy and a warm bed are difficult to part. ~ Danish Proverb

 Neither a borrower nor a lender be. This saying was taken from a soliloquy by Polonius in Act I, Scene 3 of William Shakespeare's Hamlet. Polonius is giving advice to his son Laertes before Laertes heads back to school. Here is more of the quote.

Neither a borrower nor a lender be;
For loan oft loses both itself and friend
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
