It’s been a while since I’ve done a quote of the week. I was going to review the movie “Cake” with Jennifer Aniston here at the blog but when I watched the trailer it looked too depressing. Don’t let the title fool you, it isn’t fluffy and sweet. So, I didn’t go. If you’ve seen the movie let me know your thoughts on it in the comments. Instead today’s post is short & sweet. I want to share this quote:
Oh, to have a good friend! One who doesn’t let you down, who believes in you…those are the gems…and you’ll need them during a divorce!
“A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow.”
― William Shakespeare
Today’s quote of the week couldn’t be more relevant than during divorce or any other life crisis…
“Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.” – Marcel Proust
Surround yourself with supportive people who make you smile and send love your way. Leave alone the ones who fill you with self doubt. To reiterate this quote…
Here is a quote from a writer who lived on the outside of the social scene. An eccentric who’s writings were not respected while alive but has influenced contemporary writers of this and the last century. Who said this…
“Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.” – Soren Kierkegaard
I guess another way of saying this is “hindsight is 20/20” or “if only I had known___”. The point is sometimes we don’t know WHY things happen but in time the answers are revealed to us. In the meantime…since we have no choice but to live forwards might as well take a leap….

It sounds simple and yet it can be the hardest thing to do…
“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson
You may belong to a group of friends who have different priorities than you and to be yourself is getting harder by the day…or in a workplace that rewards behaviors that don’t match up with your personality…being yourself can be the hardest thing to do…or in a failing marriage with a spouse who just doesn’t ‘get’ you or squashes your personality…being yourself is the hardest thing to do…But I say, start now…It’s never too late to become the person you’re meant to be, YOU

How do you stay true to YOU?

Truth or Dare? Remember that game. Well, sometimes the dare was way easier than the truth…
“Tell all the truth, but tell it slant–” – Emily Dickinson
“No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” Eleanor Roosevelt
This one gives me pause. How do I let someone make me feel inferior? Isn’t it what they say or do that makes me feel inferior? Maybe what Mrs. Roosevelt is referring to is surrounding ourselves with the wrong people. If someone is repeatedly saying or doing things that make you feel inferior then it is up to you ultimately to remove yourself from that person. Don’t go back for more. Stop participating in the negativity.
Surround yourself with positive people and those who, while in their company make you feel good about yourself. Also, a healthy dose of not caring what people think, and being comfortable in your skin will reduce those inferior reactions.
