Accept What Comes

You have to accept whatever comes and the only important thing is that you meet it with courage and with the best you have to give.

~Eleanor Roosevelt

What You Think Of Yourself...

What you think of yourself is far more important than what others think of you.  

There will be days when people will try to tear you down. Don't let them win. Hold your head high, walk proudly, and remember when you've done the best you can do, there is nothing anyone can say to take that away from you. 

Keep the song in your heart, and memorize it well. Play it over and over; soon others will take notice and look up to you. Some may even ask you for advice. 

You have what it takes to succeed. You're a person of integrity, wisdom, and faith. If nagging doubts ever enter your mind, the kind where you question if what you're doing is right, pause for a moment, close your eyes, and just do what you need to do...believe, believe, believe.  

~Kris Ackerman

Never Mind

Sometimes when nothing goes just right 
And worry reigns supreme,
When heartache fills the eyes with mist 
And all things useless seem, 
There's just one thing can drive away
The tears that scald and blind --
Someone to slip a strong arm 'round
And whisper, "Never mind." 

No one has ever told just why 
Those words such comfort bring;
Nor why that whisper makes our cares
Depart on hurried wing.
Yet troubles say a quick "Good-day,"
We leave them far behind
When someone slips an arm around,
And whispers, "Never mind."

But love must prompt that soft caress-
That love must, aye, be true
Or at that tender, clinging touch
No heart ease come to you,
But if the arm be moved by love,
Sweet comfort you will find
When someone slips an arm around,
And whispers, "Never mind!
