What Every Woman Should Have

Every Woman Should Have:

One old love she can imagine going back to, and one who reminds her how far she has come...

Enough money within her control to move out and rent a place of her own if ever she wants to or needs to.

Something perfect to wear if the employer or date of her dreams wants to see her in an hour.

A youth she's contented to leave behind.

A past juicy enough that she's looking forward to retelling it in her old age.

The realization that she is actually going to have an old age and some money set aside to fund it.

A set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra.

One friend who always makes her laugh... and one who lets her cry.

A good piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in her family.

Eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems and a recipe for a meal that will make her guests feel honored.

A resume that is not even the slightest bit padded.

A feeling of control over her destiny.

What Every Woman Should Know

- Every Woman Should know:

How to fall in love without losing herself.

How to quit a job, break up with a lover and confront a friend without ruining the friendship.

When to try harder... and when to walk away.

How to have a good time at a party she'd never choose to attend.

How to ask for what she wants in a way that makes it most likely she'll get it.

That she can't change the length of her calves, the width of her hips, or the nature of her parents.

That her childhood may not have been perfect, but it's over.

What she would and wouldn't do for love or more.

How to live alone, even if she doesn't like it.

Whom she can trust, 

Whom she can't and why she shouldn't take it personally.

Where to go,be it to her best friend's kitchen table, or a charming inn in the woods when her soul needs soothing. (I don't know any "inn in the woods" here, so in my case I'd go to a bookstore, or to the beach probably)

What she can and can't accomplish in a day, a month, and a year.

I hope you liked  this article, as much as I enjoyed sharing it here.  Happy Weekend!


 

Happiness = Being Grateful + focusing on what's good

I read an article from Bro. Bo Sanchez.  An inspiring article which reminds us that the key to happiness is to always be thankful and focus on what is good.  It seems very simple, yet so many of us tend to forget to appreciate the good within ourselves, the good in others and the goodness around us. 

A portion of the article says: The key to happiness is gratitude. A grateful person is a happy person. And an ungrateful person is an unhappy person.

How does Bro. Bo define a grateful person? A grateful person focuses on what is good.

So if a grateful person is a happy person, and a grateful person focuses on what is good,I therefore conclude that a happy person is someone who sees the good in everything.

I was also told that if we want to be truly happy, then we should start counting our blessings that money cannot buy.

What Life is About

But life is about who you love 

and who you hurt.

It's about how you feel about yourself.

It's about trust, happiness and compassion.

It's about sticking up for your friends and replacing inner hate with love.

Life is about avoiding jealousy, overcoming ignorance, and building confidence.

It's about what you say and what you mean.

It's about seeing people for who they are

and not what they have.

Most of all,

it is about choosing to use your life.

to touch someone else's

in a way that could never have been achieved otherwise.

These choices are what life is about.
