Yes, It is the Quote of the Week! Promoting Cosmic Wisdom at Bargain Basement Prices! When to Hang On, When to Let Go? Tough decision for many of us. Here are three Recycled Quote of the Week Classics that address this issue!!
__________

“To let go isn’t to forget, not to think about, or ignore. It doesn’t leave feelings of anger, jealousy, or regret. Letting go isn’t about winning or losing. It’s not about pride and it’s not about how you appear, and it’s not obsessing or dwelling on the past. Letting go isn’t blocking memories or thinking sad thoughts, and doesn’t leave emptiness, hurt, or sadness. It’s not about giving in or giving up. Letting go isn’t about loss and it’s not about defeat.

To let go is to cherish the memories, but to overcome and move on. It is having an open mind confidence in the future. Letting go is learning and experiencing and growing. To let go is to be thankful for the experiences that made you laugh, made you cry, and made you grow. It’s about all that you have, all that you had, and all that you will soon gain. Letting go is having the courage to accept change, and the strength to keep moving.”

_________

A Recycled Quote of the Week Classic...

I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element.
It is my personal approach that creates the climate.
It is my daily mood that makes the weather.
I possess tremendous power to make life miserable or joyous.
I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration,
I can humiliate or horror, hurt or heal.
In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis is escalated or de-escalated and a person is humanized or de-humanized.
If we treat people as they are, we make them worse.
If we treat people as they could be, we help them become what they are capable of becoming.

J.W. Goethe

St. Francis of Assisi

A Recycled Quote of the Week Classic...

"No effort is ever wasted, although some pay dividends later than you think... Do not imagine that you 'wasted your time' because something didn't turn out right. There is no such thing as 'waste' in the Universe. Everything -- everything -- yields benefit... It's true. And your life will show you this. So don't decry the 'effort that failed.' All things lead to your highest good. You just may not know it yet".

Neale Donald Walsch

Welcome to the Quote of the Week! You weekly email dedicated to... EMPOWERED choice, MIND EXPANDING persepective and FAITH in the future. Oneness is the theme of this week's quote!
__________

No man is an island entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as any manner of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind. And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

From the Quote of the Week Files;

Welcome to the Quote of the Week! Your weekly spiritual snack for mind, body & soul.
__________

"You are more likely to be successful, overall, if you participate joyfully with projects and goals and do not think your life depends on achieving the mark because then you will be better able to connect to people all around you. On the whole, resources are likely to come to you in greater abundance when you are generous and inclusive and engage people in your passion for life. There aren’t any guarantees of course. When you are oriented to abundance, you care less about being in control, and you take more risks. You may give away short term profits in pursuit of a bigger dream; you may take a long view without being able to predict the outcome. In a measurement world, you set a goal and strive for it. In the universe of possibility, you set a context and let life unfold.”

Benjamin Zander & Rosamond Stone Zander (The Art of Possibilities)

"Most people can look back over the years and identify a time and place at which their lives changed significantly. Whether by accident or design, these are the moments when, because of a readiness within us and a collaboration with events occurring around us, we are forced to seriously reappraise ourselves and the conditions under which we live and to make certain choices that will affect the rest of our lives."

Frederick F. Flack
__________

By the Way, can you identify the time and place when your life changed significantly?

__________

A Recycled Quote of the Week Classic (July 6, 2009)...

"The best year of our lives is not made up of days or weeks or months. It is made up of moments. Moments when we allow our separateness to melt away so we can be truly intimate with another; moments when we take a risk and express our love in an unexpected way; moments when we choose forgiveness over resentment; moments when we appreciate the perfection of where we are and who we are with. These are the moments that bring meaning to our lives and joy to our hearts."
