karmadestiny Report post Posted October 20, 2012 Greatness comes not when things are always good for you Greatness comes when you are really tested When you take some knocks and some disappointments When sadness comes your way, Because only when you have been in the deepest valley Can you ever know how magnificent it is To be on the highest mountain! Please feel free to add any words, ancedotes, poems or positive affirmations that have helped you cope or given you a sense of direction...xxx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mannify Report post Posted October 20, 2012 (edited) It's a lovely idea and very often true, but I have to say that there are some troughs that just deplete a person, and I say that more as an observer than someone who's experienced them. I think that mantras can be helpful, though. Edited October 20, 2012 by Mannify Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
karmadestiny Report post Posted October 21, 2012 It's a lovely idea and very often true, but I have to say that there are some troughs that just deplete a person, and I say that more as an observer than someone who's experienced them. I think that mantras can be helpful, though. It is that very vulnerbility within us that defines a human being, but this quote shows that when one has a definate purpose in mind and we plan to succeed we can become powerful beyond all measure and can override the most testing trials and tribulations...I also use positive affirmations, but again they only work if we place our total faith and belief in the words...

karmadestiny Report post Posted October 21, 2012 (edited) TO A BRAVE MAN GOOD AND BAD LUCK ARE LIKE HIS LEFT AND RIGHT HAND HE USE BOTH! The longer I live, the more I realise the impact of attitude on life...Attitude is more important to me than fact...It is more important than the past, the education, the money, cirumstances, failures, successes and what other people say or do...It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill...Attitude will make you or break you! The most remarkable thing is that we have a choice every day regarding our attitude we will embrace that day...We cannot change our past, we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way...We cannot change the inevitable...The only thing we can do is play the string we have and that is our attitude...I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it!.... ...We are in charge of our own attitudes... unknown Edited October 21, 2012 by karmadestiny Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
