Rose-Coloured Glasses

Do you find yourself looking at the past with rose-coloured glasses in regret? Do you feel that things used to be so much better than now, that you wish you were back where you were, when in actual fact, you have forgotten past hardship and struggles?

Some people tend to live in the past as a result. They forget that they have suffered through the same problems as they are facing now. It is just that these problems come in different shapes and colours.

Let go of the past, live the present and look forward.

You can clutch the past so tightly to your chest that it leaves your arms too full to embrace the present.

Change

They always say time changes things,
but you actually have to change them yourself. (Andy Warhol)

... but with Christ in you.

I like this quote ...

Judge a person by their questions,
rather than their answers.
~Voltaire

... since I am always asking questions :)

They said, he said, but then it was said ...

I said they said,
"Without duty, life is sort of boneless; it cannot hold itself together"
Whereupon he said, The Hedonese said,
"Without delight; our lives will be meatless"
But then it was said, Kansas Bob said,
"Without love, duty is empty; and delight, a farce"

Ah! Who can deny that.

It held true for me today.

So They Say #1

A book is a mirror;

if an ass peers into it you can't expect an apostle to look out.
~ Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
