    YOu can't change the winds but you can change the sails
    and
    Your past does not have to equal your future.

    my favs are:

    "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."

    "Love me more when you hate me the most."

    You are a child of the universe
    no less than the trees and the stars;
    you have a right to be here.
    And whether or not it is clear to you,
    no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

    ^ Thats my favourite part of the Desiderata. I love that.

    Look... Nelle... when you really want to rip in, a well timed "You have caused confusion and delay" works a treat. I use it at work often

    I live by "everything happens for a reason"... its sometimes the only thing that gets me through hard times.

    I also like "yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift, thats why its called the pressent"

    You are here to enable the divine purpose of the universe to unfold.

    Oh I love Desiderata too. My Nan has it hanging on her wall, and its been in her house ever since we were kiddies, such important messages. Its very close to DPs heart too as they read it at his Dad's funeral a long time ago.

    I'm gonna have to go look up the Dame Edna version now for a giggle.
