Over the years, I’ve collected some quotes that caught my interest and just stuck.
In times of stress, confusion, or some other feeling of discomfort, or worse, these quotes have redirected my thoughts, given me comfort, or renewed my strength. They are my triggers.
My challenge to you is to start a list of your own. We all have phrases, quotes, words, that we remember.
Write them down, put them on the wall, write them on 3 x 5 cards and carry them with you, but most of all, put them together on a sheet of paper and look at them. They will tell you a lot about yourself. About the rules you live by. They are your commandments. Your principles. Your rules. Your triggers. Yours. Not mine. Yours.
But for now, to give you a start, here are mine.
What you perceive to be reality magnifies.
Beca Lewis
It doesn’t matter what you call Him. Call Him.

Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, magic, and power in it. Begin it now.
Goethe
Everything that is present is present as God only.
John Hargreaves
This, too, shall pass.
Attributed to the Bible, but it’s actually the punch line to an old story about the wisdom of the world.
2 plus 2 equals 4.
My will is greater than my won’t.
(I’m not sure. I read it recently, Google doesn’t have it, and I’ll let you know when I find it who wrote it.)
Shed your light freely, but do not give them of your oil.
Mary Baker Eddy
Love is its own reward.
Thomas Merton
My point of view is infinite abundance, my state of mind is gratitude.
Beca Lewis
There is only NOW. Be Present.
Summary of an essay, and the Truth as I see it
Live well. Laugh often. Love much.
Bessie Anderson Stanley
You are doing exactly what you choose to be doing right now. Life is a choice.
Many, Many, Many people in different ways.
If you do it, do it well. If not, don’t do it.

Anyone who doesn’t think what we perceive to be reality magnifies only has to look as far as her inbox…….
