The following are to be remembered when we are up in our own head, feeling unloved, unwanted, unneeded and unappreciated...in other words, when we are loving our self as The Victim:
"If the only prayer you say in your life is thank you, that would suffice." -- Meister Eckhart
"If the only prayer you say in your life is thank you, that would suffice." -- Meister Eckhart
"The crucifixion of the self is accomplished when there is nothing left for which you wish to pray." -- The Infinite Way -- Joel Goldsmith
"This is what you are to do. Lift your heart up to the Lord with a gentle stirring of love, desiring him for his own sake and not for his gifts." - The Cloud of Unknowing -- Anonymous
"You must do the thing you think you cannot do." -- Eleanor Roosevelt
"We must bear patiently not being good...and not being thought good." -- Francis of Assisi
"We have to be utterly broken before we can realize that it is impossible to better the truth." -- Laurens Van der Post
"It’s not God’s job to decide what happens....It’s his job to help you get through it.” – In the Unlikely Event – Judy Blume
I rely on statements like those, when my victim is riding high, to help me change my mind.
There are oh so many more. Back in the day, Ann Landers was a goldmine, as was Erma Bombeck ("Housework, if done right, can kill you."). Just remembering Erma, my day is brighter, and I wasn't even feeling down!
Ah, again: Love and laugh!
Thank you.
