When tomorrow comes, today will be gone forever.  In its place will be something that you have left behind.  Please, let it be something worthwhile.  Let it be something that spreads love and happiness. Here’s how: Be kinder than necessary. – You will never fully understand some things until these things actually happen to you.  So be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of unique battle.  And remember, you will come across some people in life who always seem to create conflicts.  When you meet them, smile and walk away.  The battle they are fighting isn’t with you, it’s within them. Put sincere effort into your relationships. – Don’t confuse the people who are always lingering around with the ones who are truly there.  Good relationships don’t just happen, and they aren’t built solely on a foundation of convenience.  They take time, patience, effort, and two people who want to be together and are willi...

I would have talked less and listened more. I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained and the sofa faded. I would have eaten the popcorn in the "good" living room and worried much less about the dirt when someone wanted to light a fire in the fireplace. I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather rambling about his youth. I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed. I would have burned the pink candle sculped like a rose before it melted in storage. I would have sat on the lawn with my children and not worried about grass stains. I would have cried and laughed less while watching television, and more while watching life. I would have gone to bed when I was sick, instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I weren't there for the day. I would never have bought anything just because...

Ti auguro soltanto quello che i piu’ non hanno. Ti auguro tempo , per divertirti e per ridere; se lo impiegherai bene, potrai ricavarne qualcosa. Ti auguro tempo , per il tuo fare e per il tuo pensare, non solo per te stesso, ma anche per donarlo agli altri. Ti auguro tempo , non per affrettarti e correre, ma tempo per essere contento. Ti auguro tempo , non soltanto per trascorrerlo, ti auguro tempo perche’ te ne resti: tempo per stupirti e tempo per fidarti e non soltanto per guardarlo sull’orologio. Ti auguro tempo per toccare le Stelle e tempo per crescere, per maturare. Ti auguro tempo , per sperare nuovamente e per amare. Non ha piu’ senso rimandare. Ti auguro tempo per trovare te stesso, per vivere ogni tuo giorno, ogni tua ora come un dono. Ti auguro tempo anche per perdonare. Ti auguro di avere tempo, tempo per la vita . Elli Michler

Il bambino guardava la nonna che stava scrivendo una lettera. Ad un certo punto, le domandò: "Stai scrivendo una storia che è capitata a noi? E che magari parla di me". La nonna interruppe la scrittura, sorrise e disse al nipote: "E' vero, sto scrivendo qualcosa di te. Tuttavia, più importante delle parole è la matita con la quale scrivo. Vorrei che la usassi tu, quando sar ... ai cresciuto". Incuriosito il bimbo guardò la matita senza trovarvi alcunché di speciale. "Ma è uguale a tutte le altre matite che ho visto nella mia vita!". "Dipende tutto dal modo in cui guardi le cose. Questa matita possiede cinque qualità: se riuscirai a trasporle nell'esistenza, sarai sempre una persona in pace con il mondo. Prima qualità: puoi fare grandi cose, ma non devi mai dimenticare che esiste una mano che guida i tuoi passi."Dio": ecco come chiamiamo questa mano! Egli deve condurti sempre verso la sua volontà. Seconda qualità: d...
