Words of Wisdom (wish I had said that)

(this pic is a mandala called Wisdom Pearl by Richard A. Waters )


"Whenever you are asked if you can do a job, tell'em, 'certainly I can!' - and get busy and find out how to do it."
Theodore Roosevelt, 1858-1919, Twenty-Sixth U.S. President

"Obstacles can't stop you. Problems can't stop you. Most of all, other people can't stop you. Only you can stop you."
Jeffrey Gitomer, Author and Sales Trainer

"I live by this credo: Have a little laugh at life and look around you for happiness instead of sadness. Laughter has always brought me out of unhappy situations. Even in your darkest moment, you usually can find something to laugh about if you try hard enough."
Red Skelton, 1913-1997, Comedian

Today I Will Make A Difference

Today I will make a difference. I will begin by controlling my thoughts. A person is the product of their thoughts. I want to be happy and hopeful. Therefore, I will have thoughts that are happy and hopeful. I refuse to be victimized by my circumstances. I will not let petty inconveniences such as stoplights, long lines, and traffic jams be my masters. I will avoid negativism and gossip. Optimism will be my companion, and victory will be my hallmark. Today I will make a difference.

I will be grateful for the twenty-four hours that are before me. Time is a precious commodity. I refuse to allow what little time I have to be contaminated by self-pity, anxiety, or boredom. I will face this day with the joy of a child and the courage of a giant. I will drink each minute as though it is my last. When tomorrow comes, today will be gone forever. While it is here, I will use it for loving and giving. Today I will make a difference.

I will not let past failures haunt me. Even though my life is scarred with mistakes, I refuse to rummage through my trash heap of failures. I will admit them. I will correct them. I will press on. Victoriously. No failure is fatal. It's OK to stumble - I will get up. It's OK to fail - I will rise again. Today I will make a difference.

I will spend time with those I love. My spouse, my children, my family. A man can own the world but be poor for the lack of love. A man can own nothing and yet be wealthy in relationships. Today I will spend at least five minutes with the significant people in my world. Five quality minutes of talking or hugging or thanking or listening. Five undiluted minutes with my mate, children, and friends.

Today I will make a difference.

Why Goddess of Random Thoughts?...and why ANOTHER blog?

Very simple....I have been using the name Goddess of Random Thoughts for years.
I first used it ...hmm...I forget why I started but I remember choosing that particular title because sometimes my mind and my interests seem to flit back and forth. From one thing to another.
Why Another blog? Yes I do have ...let's see....2 storytelling blogs...a Xanga, a Myspace and a Facebook....so far. Of course, in this day and age that's not terribly surprising and I haven't mentioned the webpage. But for me it's somewhat amazing.
So, why this blog? Because I am always finding things that I want to put up...graphics (love them), videos (youtube is my friend) and then there are those Random Thoughts that I have. Most of my other spaces serve a work like purpose, even the Xanga, sorta....so I figured I needed a spot totally unwork related to just put up anything I wanted.
AND HERE WE ARE!!

So get ready..lol...as if I'm not just talking to myself...no telling what will show up here!

Love, Laughter, Peace and Blessings y'all!
Me
