What Words Influence Your Life?

 

Many years ago, I put a few quotes into a picture frame that I kept on my desk.  

It could have held seven small photos, but I wanted words of wisdom instead.

I came across this frame recently and reflected on how these words had influenced 

my life in one way or another, either in how I viewed other people and events, or how 

I viewed myself in the scheme of being.  Here are these guiding words. I am not sure 

of the original authors’ names.

On Relationships:

• How is that working out for you?
• How is that working out for me?

Actions Have Consequences:

• All deeds return three-fold.
• What goes around, comes around.

Helping One Another:

• A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle.

Mind & Body Connection:

• Scarcity and deprivation always increase desire.

Having a Plan B:

• Always expect a train.

Last, but not in the frame, I have used this phrase so much that people have told me, 

“You sure say this a lot.”  Yes, I know. We all have redundancies in our word usage. 

There is a reason for clichés.

On Life Activities:

• If it’s not one thing, it’s another.
