Oprah asked her what she thought of growing older. And, there on television, she said it was ‘exciting…’ Regarding body changes, she said there were many, occurring every day…..like her breasts. They seem to be in a race, to see which will reach her waist, first. The audience laughed so hard they cried. She is such a simple and honest woman, with so much wisdom in her words! Maya Angelou said this: ‘I’ve learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.’ ‘I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.’ ‘I’ve learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you’ll miss them when they’re gone from your life.’ ‘I’ve learned that making a ‘living’ is not the same thing as ‘making a life.’ ‘I’ve learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.’ ‘I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back…’ ‘I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.’ ‘I’ve learned that even when I have pains, I don’t have to be one.’ ‘I’ve learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back…’ ‘I’ve learned that I still have a lot to learn..’ ‘I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.’ what are your thoughts? YOU DO HAVE COMEBACK POWER! You have comeback power! In life, you can be up today and down tomorrow. You can experience joy, then sorrow. You may have lost your money or your job, or your business may have taken a turn for the worse. In the midst of this, do not forget who you are. You still have you!! Determine that this will not break you. It will make you stronger! Stand up in yourself and be courageous. Look to the future and not the past. You will survive and thrive once again. Create the mindset that this will bring out the GREATNESS within you!~Les Brown                                                                                                                                                                                                     Ponder the greatness In the silence of my being, in the stillness of peace, I ponder the greatness of my existence, and the truly endless love and power I have within me.
