Motivational Sayings

To Whoever Wrote:

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger…..

When the going gets tough, the tough get going…..

And my favorite….

You are never given more than you can handle.

Kiss my ass.

From someone who is: not dead, strong, tough, gone and apparently can handle a lot.

Damn girl, chill! Maybe I'll send Tom Cruise over to show you how to handle mental anguish without the use of drugs. Tee hee.

Better days are ahead, I promise!

"You are never given more than you can handle" is one thing that I believe in strongly. I don't consider it a motivational saying though, but more of a promise by God.

I guess someone would have to be religious to believe that one. If a person isn't religious, then that statement wouldn't hold water at all...because you can't be "given" something at all that if you don't believe there is some higher power to "oversee" what obstacles are set in your path.

Now I don't know enough about you to know if you are religious or not, but if you are, just remember and have faith that your Lord doesn't want to see you fail. However, nothing is ever learned from the easy life, that is why your Lord will never give you more than you can handle, but he/she will test you from time to time so that you can grow personally and spiritually.

If you are not religious, then just try to ignore the phrase altogether and stay strong against adversity. It's perfectly understandable to have moments of frustration...but don't succumb to them. You owe it to your children to stay strong...for every amount of frustration and feelings of you against the world you have right now...your kids are, or soon will be, confused, blaming themselves, and just as frustrated and upset. Take it from someone that grew up in a divorced family...it's extremely HARD on the kids.

Good Luck!

I am religous and I do believe the statement actually. Although there are times I look up and say, "enough already, eh?". Just my sense of humor. Thanks for your words.... :)

Here's another one....when one door closes another opens, right? I have a good post for that one tomorrow.

Go placidly amid the noise and waste, and remember what comfort there may be in owning a piece thereof.

Avoid quiet and passive persons, unless you are in need of sleep.

Rotate your tires.

Speak glowingly of those greater than yourself, and heed well their advice, even though they be turkeys.

Know what to kiss, and when.

Consider that two wrongs never make a right, but that three do.

Wherever possible, put people on hold.

Be comforted, that in the face of all aridity and disillusionment, and despite the changing fortunes of time, there is always a big future in computer maintenance.

Remember the Pueblo.

Strive at all times to bend, fold, spindle, and mutilate.

Know yourself. If you need help, call the F.B.I.

Exercise caution in your daily affairs, especially with those persons closest to you; that lemon on your left, for instance.

Be assured that a walk through the ocean of most souls will scarcely get your feet wet. Fall not in love therefore; it will stick to your face.

Gracefully surrender the things of youth; birds, clean air, tuna, Taiwan; and let not the sands of time get into your lunch.

Hire people with hooks.

For a good time, call 606-4311. Ask for Ken.

Take heart in the deepening gloom that your dog is finally getting enough cheese, and reflect that whatever misfortune may be your lot, it could only be worse in Milwaukee.

You are a fluke of the universe.

You have no right to be here.

And whether you can hear it or not, the universe is laughing behind your back.

Therefore, make peace with your god, whatever you conceive him to be -- hairy thunderer or cosmic muffin.

With all its hopes, dreams, promises, and urban renewal, the world continues to deteriorate.

Give up.

Ah well, there's always Criagslist.
