This may be off topic, or maybe not. I belong to another forum where members take turns sharing daily quotes. Whenever I see a good quote I add it to my list for when it's my turn to share. I was looking through the list tonight and thought there were a few that fit into the principles of alanon:

 

¨Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are.¨

Bernice Johnson Reagon

 

 

¨ A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at night, and in between he does what he wants to do.¨  Bob Dylan


¨A "no" uttered from deepest conviction is better and greater  than a "yes" merely uttered to please, or what is worse, to avoid trouble.¨

Mahatma Gandhi

¨Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment. ¨
Will Rogers

 

And my VERY favorite-

¨Women are like teabags. We don't know our true strength until we are in hot water! ¨
Eleanor Roosevelt

¨

These are great! Sweetie used to always read the ones in Reader's Digest. Used to love that mag. I loved the beautiful paintins they "used" to have on the back of the mag.

Have been buying books of quotes since i was a teen.

We have a lot of the same taste. They are all so simple and true.

thank you for sharing. love,deb

I like this one:

"When people show you who they are, believe them." - Maya Angelou

This helps me to remember to try to stay in reality, and to avoid ascribing character traits to people that exist only in my imagination. I've been soooo guilty of living in fantasy land and not seeing reality in the past.

Thanks for your post!

Daily quotes are great to start the day! Here are a few that have been helping me get by in my recovery:

"Accept responsibility for your life. Know that it is you who will get you where you want to go, no one else."
-Les Brown


The willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life is the source from which self-respect springs. ~Joan Didion


When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be."


"There is no greater happiness than freedom from worry, and there is no greater wealth than contentment."


"What doesn't kill me makes me stronger."
Nietzsche

Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow.
Mary Anne Radmacher
