Welcome to the Quote of the Week!

Are you dealing with unavoidable change? Are you coming into a new and different world and have trouble coping? Have you reached a turning point in your life on how you want to live the rest of your life? Do you need and want to take charge of your own choices?  

Then perhaps these lines (quotes) from the movie, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel can give you the insight you are looking for.  (I obviously saw the movie and enjoyed these upbeat aphorisms and quotable quotes.
__________

“This is a new and different world.  The challenge is to cope with it.  Not just cope but thrive.”

“All we know about the future is that it will be different.”

“The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing.”

“The only real failure is the failure to try. And the measure of success is how well we cope.”

“Most things don’t work out as expected, but what happens instead often turns out to be the good stuff.”

“The light, the colours, the smiles. The way the people see life as a gift, a privilege — and not a right.”

”The only real measure of success is how we cope with disappointment. We get up in the morning and do our best.”

“Everything will be all right in the end, so if it is not all right, then it is not the end.”

Wishing you a most beautiful day, wherever this may find you!
