"the funny thing about decisions, you don't seem to have to talk yourself into making the right one"

I disagree. Mistakes happen daily. If no one made a wrong decision, then no one would make mistakes. Life is about decisions. Just because I think I made a wrong decision, does not mean you may think it was wrong. That's life. Everyone is different. Would life be fulfilling if no one made mistakes?

"ask god's blessings on your work, but do not ask him to do it for you"

Pray for God to bless you in everything. Though prayer you may receive guidance. Do not expect everything to fall into place, just from your words. If you want results you also have to use the tools that God has blessed you with. Though of us who are blessed with wisdom and all senses should use them for our own good. God should not have to do anything for you. Do you expect God to to everything for you and do you feel as if he should?

"the tragedy in life does not lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach"

In life you should always have goals to strive for. If you have no goals then you have no plans in life. It is sad for a person, especially a young person, to not have any goals in life. You do not always have to set big goals, but it is always good to have some. What is life without goals? --Sierra Smith

"Choice,not chance determines ones destiny"--unknown

Some people believe in fate. Others don't. I believe that God has made our destiny and we must follow the path to it, but obstacles will try to distract us. It is our choice weather we want to stay on the right path. Do you think it is wrong to want to go on your own path, to find our own route?

"Life is like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt you represent, determine the way you play, it is free will"

Sometimes people say that "life is not fair". Well it truly is not. No one asked for their life. Even though this is so, you should still make the best of what ever life has handed you. Do not complain about what is wrong in your life, make the best of it.

"when you reach the top, that when the climb begins" --Michael Cane

Some people think that when they reach the top, that that is the time to relax. It is not. You should actually work harder once you get to the top. You have to work hard (climb), to stay where you are and possibly go further.

"You have better lived your best and act your best and think your best; for today is the sure preparation for tomorrow that follows"

I think this quote means that basically, you have to live your everyday to improve yesterday and do better today to make tomorrow better. Each day you should try to improve mistakes and do better. I do not think it is good to start patterns or trends. Each day should be different. Is it wrong to broaden your horizons?

"if you don't like something about yourself then change it. If you don't change it then accept it"

Sometimes when people do not like something about themselves they complain about it all the time. I hate that. I believe that if you do not like something (that you can possibly change) then try your best to change it. It makes no sense to complain about something if you are not going to try to make it better for yourself. Otherwise just accept it, deal with it.

"you are younger today than you ever will be, make use of it for the sake of tomorrow"--anon

I think that this quote  is very meaningful. You should live everyday as your last. Live it up while you are young and do something that can impact people.

"Think wrongly if you please, but in all cases think for yourself" --unknown

If you choose to think wrongly, do not let your choice be influenced by anybody but you. In many cases people do things because someone told them to or because someone else did it. Everything you do should be influenced only by yourself.

"As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live."--Johann Von Goethes

Once you trust yourself, you see life differently. When you learn to trust yourself, you begin to be more comfortable with yourself and the way things are in your life. You will eventually live better.

"Fear less, hope more, eat less, chew more, talk less, say more, and all good things will be yours" -- Jewish Proverb

When you have fear, you do less. When you hope more, you have a better perspective or outlook. sometimes you talk, you just don't make a point, but when you say something, it is more meaningful. I guess when you do all of these things, good things will happen to you.

"Faith sees the invisible, believes the unbelievable, and receives the impossible."--Corrie Ten Boon

Faith is supposed to be undeniable. When you have faith in someone/something basically there should be no doubt in your heart about how you feel.

"Being bored is an insult to oneself" --J.R.

Being bored is an choice made my oneself. It is an choice.

RESPONSES

I responded to "Kind Words" by Chastadee Korshay & "Kind words are like honey" by NoBoyFran_NoProblemz.

"Kind words are like honey, sweet to the soul & healthy to the body"--Proverbs 16:24

Kind words make you feel better. They make you feel better when you say them & receive them. Just as negative terms make you feel bad. Try to speak more enriching words because it leads to a positive daily outcome.

"Humility is not Thinking Less of Yourself, It Is Thinking of Yourself Less" --Rick Warren

Humility is another way of being selfless. The act of thinking less of yourself is simply having low self-esteem. But when you think of yourself less, you are just putting other peoples needs before your own. I think it is a great trait to have.

"Anger is One Letter Short of DANGER" --Anon

Sometimes anger makes people act differently than they normally do. I know that when I am angry I am more willing to do crazy things. Those actions can result to dangerous situations. It is better to try not to react when angry and just try to calm down so that you can think rationally.

"If you keep saying that things are going to be bad then you have a good chance at being a prophet" --Issac Singer

When you keep saying something, even if you are only joking, it will eventually happen. It is kind of like you can wish something on yourself. Thats why it is not good to speak negative things. Keep your word positive.

"parents can only give good advice or put you on the right paths, but the forming of a persons character lies in their own hands..." -Ann Frank

Sometimes parents try to change the character of their kids when they should only give advice and accept them. Even if parents do not like the decisions that their kids make or agree with their lifestyle, they can only take the good with the bad. 

Reading

The old saying goes "reading is to the mind as exercise is to the body". I think this is true because exercise does the body good just as reading does the mind good. Reading makes the mind strong and exercise makes the body strong. To me, mental heath is way more important than physical strength. What is a strong outer shell without a strong inner?
