“tough times don’t last…tough people do!” from panics are only growing pains by bruce barton

speak strength over your life

become a tough person. build up resilience. declare yourself strong. the world is beautiful but crazy. people can be unkind, but guard yourself from dream killers and joy destroyers. sometimes you don’t know what is going on, what to do, but know that through it all you have a purpose. know your power. know that you are capable of creating the life you so badly want. don’t break and walk away, stick it out. last. tough times give way to good times. and when it gets good you will be better than before. darling, just tough it out!

People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered.
Love them anyway.

If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.

If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.

The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.
Think big anyway.

People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.
Fight for a few underdogs anyway.

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.

People really need help but may attack you if you do help them.
Help people anyway.

Give the world the best you have and you’ll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you have anyway.

“…go into the arts. I’m not kidding. The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven’s sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.”
- Kurt Vonnegut

lately i’ve been feeling a little uninspired/unmotivated and i came across this quote and it put things into perspective. as a creative i read so much stuff about marketing yourself and being so strategic with everything, but at the end of the day i just want my soul to grow. i want to create things with my life, and hopefully people will enjoy the things i create. but it doesn’t matter if one person is enjoying it or thousands as long as my soul is growing. when my soul grows i have more to offer to the world.

let your soul grow. you owe it to yourself to explore your creativity.

have a good friday!

sincerely,
gloria marie

“you can’t stay in your corner of the Forest waiting for others to come to you. you have to go to them sometimes.” – winnie the pooh

in 2012 i am on a mission to meet new people, but not just random people. i want to meet people who are a Godsend. people who i can inspire and people who can inspire me. i am all about divine connections this year!

i believe God is going to connect me with inspiring people. however, i must do my part…i must get out of the corner of my forest even though i love being in my little corner. all the faces are familiar and everyone knows my name.

you can’t do it alone.
you can’t build rome
in a day or
by yourself.

find other people who are goal oriented, focused, and positive.

“Energy is the essence of life. Every day
you decide how you’re going to use it by
knowing what you want and what it
takes to reach that goal, and by
maintaining focus.” – Oprah
