A Woman’s Journey (by Beth Mende Conny) Part 3 (51-75)
51. Love makes the world go around – but no without fits and starts.
52. There is nothing wrong with being realistic – as long as you create your own reality.
53. Don’t strive to be better than others: strive to be better than your best self.
54. Just because others do not embrace your ideas, doesn’t mean that you too should turn a cold shoulder to them.
55. Being busy doesn’t necessarily mean you are being productive.
56. Don’t fall into love. Step into it on two steady feet.
57. Only perfect people find the perfect mate.
58. You can’t go home again, but there’s nothing wrong with visiting when you need some TLC.
59. Being alone is scary, but not as scary as feeling alone in a relationship.
60. Sometimes you have to go to extremes to establish a middle ground.
61. Learning to love is like learning to walk. You fear falling on your face, yet you are giddy with the joy of covering new ground.
62. When old habits are hard to break, try bending them.
63. Sometimes you must end an old relationship to begin a new one – with yourself.
64. Money does not have to be an evil. It can also be the paper on which you sketch life’s dreams.
65. There are no impossible dreams, just our limited perception of what is possible.
66. Listening requires the use of our hearts as well as our ears.
67. Patience is a skill, perseverance is an art.
68. A sense of humour, like a true friend, sees you through bad times.
69. Sometimes the most forceful statement you can make is to remain silent.
70. Don’t avoid a good argument, just a bad one.
71. Small steps and great strides both propel you forward.
72. To make up for lost time, commit to living in the present.
73. Apologise, don’t antagonise.
74. It is in the company of a good friend that the heart finds a home.
75. The only true failure is the person who fails to try.
