Let's Talk About Words

     Wernher Von Braun was quoted as saying, "Everything science has taught me-and continues to teach me-strengthens my belief in the continuity of our spiritual existence after death . Nothing disappears without a trace."Yesterday was my youngest daughter's graduation . My father died in 2000 so he has missed all three of my daughter's graduations now which makes me sad. I do believe that he was there in spirit though, looking down with pride. A loved ones death may change everything, yet it doesn't end the relationships.

"You cannot make yourself feel something you do not feel, but you can make yourself do right in spite of your feelings ." -Pearl S. Buck     We may feel anger, sadness, fear or happiness. Although we should stop and think before just react, it is important to understand what these feelings mean.  Our feelings can guide us in our response to people and situations; they are a reaction to something.

"Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did  nothing because he could do only a little." -Edmund Burke    Sometimes the changes that we need to make in our life seem to daunting so we do nothing . We want to have loving people in our lives; we want a career that we our passionate about; we want a home that is beautiful and peaceful. The list could go on and on, so we are overwhelmed, but then illness, divorce or unemployment comes our way and we are forced to change it. Don't wait for that to happen. Take steps towards the life that you want today. Clean up your life.    Author Susan Marie Schulhof          http://susanmarieschulhof.blogspot.com

    Helen Hayes said, "My mother drew a distinction between achievement and success. She said that achievement is the knowledge that you have studied and worked hard and done the best that is in you. Success is being praised by others. That is nice, but not as important or satisfying. Always aim for achievement and forget about success." I love this idea. I choose to achieve my goals.    Author Susan Marie Schulhof          http://susanmarieschulhof.blogspot.com

" Grief is the agony of an instant, the indulgence  of grief the blunder of a life." -Benjamin Disraeli    I would disagree that grief is the agony of an instant, but it is important that when someone you loves dies, you should not get lost in your grief . Life is not the same, yet it does go on and we need to work through our grief .    Author Susan Marie Schulhof          http://susanmarieschulhof.blogspot.com

"I learned quickly that when I made others laugh, they liked me." -Art Buchwald    Although it is important to make others laugh, the easiest way to make friends is to like yourself first. A person that understands who they are and what they like to do is a  likable person. It is important to like yourself.    Author Susan Marie Schulhof          http://susanmarieschulhof.blogspot.com

"Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something, and that this thing, at whatever cost, must be attained." -Marie Curie Don't ever give up. Instead of being defeated, persevere.    Author Susan Marie Schulhof          http://susanmarieschulhof.blogspot.com
