Category — Quotes – Everything Quotes

I believe we can all relate to today’s quote.  I’m going to call this one a “Roz-ism” because it’s one I live moment to moment, day by day —  because… “The Joy Thieves” are out there waiting to strike at any second! ;)
             I met three of these “Joy Thieves” yesterday when I was attempting to straighten out some health insurance issues.  Two hung up on me and the third was out and out uncaring and nasty — all because of a perscription supposedly not being covered by Medicare! [At one time I would have allowed this behavior to upset me and spoil my entire weekend, after a few moments I took a deep breath, thought of possible alternatives and moved on.  This new behavior is HUGE for me – how about you?]

Saturday’s  Quote

“Allowing ANYone to steal your JOY is giving them license to steal your LIFE!  Time is the one gift that is irreplaceable!” ~Roz Fruchtman

I’m going through some challenges myself right now.  I’m ok healthwise, I think… waiting on the Annual Checkup Tests now, but…

I’m going through some business related stuff.  What I’ve been doing has not worked the way I would like and I have to make some changes.  I’m not sure which way to go, but I will as I no longer what to continue on the same road I’ve traveled for the past 9 years. 

I’m proud to share:  Of course there have been major accomplishments and achievements in the last nine years, but times are different, I’m different, your different and our needs change.  Besides all of that… there is one major downfall I have to deal with.

SO… Why The Quotes…

We are all used to seeing people share “thought provoking quotes,” but I wanted to go the extra mile – for you and for myself.

We are all thinking and feeling human beings with daily or even moment-to-moment challenges we might not be able to share with others; we just do not want to share with others or just plain don’t feel comfortable sharing with others — who wants to share their personal business with the world! ;)  I thought if I shared some of my own feelings I could inspire you and help motivate you “by inspiring and motivating ME!”

We “cannot” depend on others for our joy.  We have to somehow find that joy from within.  When we depend on others we open ourselves up for disappointment by putting others in the impossible position of being there 24/7 for us.  It’s a blessing to have unconditional love and friendship, but we have to do our part as well to take care of us ~ which enables us to have more to share with others!

So if we can find a way to inspire and keep ourselves balanced — at least most of the time — we’ve won half the battle and so does everyone we come in contact with. I find this works for me. What do you think?

My goal is to help you by helping myself!  It’s not completely selfless, but who cares… it’s WIN/WIN!

I hope you will agree with me in my thought that Gratitude and Joy are intertwined!  The best part ~ BOTH are FREE Gifts we can give others as well as ourselves!

Dr. Phil shares a phrase from time to time on his show: “Sometimes we have to give ourselves what we would like to receive from others!”  It’s a powerful thought…  LOVE begins with us!

Feeling blue? Don’t wait for another to cheer you up…  Go for a walk, enjoy nature, put on your favorite music, watch a movie, have a good cry ~BUT in the end, pick yourself up and begin again!  The road of time is a “one-way street” we only get to travel once!

Friday’s  Quote

“Since you get more joy out of giving joy to others, you should put a good deal of thought into the happiness you are able to give. ~Eleanor Roosevelt

The gift of JOY comes in many shapes and forms:  The gift of knowledge which helps another out in times of frustration; an unexpected eCard with shows thought and going the extra mile to choose an appropriate design; an email which also demonstrates thought of the recipient; or a phone call which takes more time, but makes connection more personal and powerful, etc. (These are just examples of course and the list goes on for miles!)

ANOTHER  THOUGHT ~ We do not always have a lot of time, BUT… In our electronic age we enjoy the gift — or is it s gift — of multi-tasking!  Sometimes it takes less than a minute or two, to get something off, to let others know we are thinking of them!
