My niece was just fired from her job. She does not live near family. I am trying to encourage her to move close to where her family lives and where there are more job opportunities. Which if your 3 books would best for me to send her considering her circumstances.
Where she lives (small town – no family in the state where she lives)
the neighborhood is not safe and the police have responded to neighborhood issues.

Thank U for organizing great set of positive,
enlightening thoughts. One quote I often refer
to ( esp.if there is a loss) : ” The only thing we take when we leave ( this earth) is Love”. by
Louisa May Alcott. I am always trying to fill that imaginary basket and share it.

I’m 76 as I finally slow down and “Wake-Up (to) Calls People Often Receive a Little Too Late”. Better late than never at all! These affirmations are most inspirational considering my personal life today and the state of our world!

Good Morning marcandangel. You’re both Angels sent from above. At 69 years old, I have finally realized what I wish I had realized years ago when I was much younger. Thanks for the encouragement and reassuring me that it’s never too late to start living. I graduate with a bachelor’s degree in nursing in a few days and have made plans to pursue a master’s degree next. I woke up one morning and realized life was passing me by and I was allowing it. So, I got up and did something about it! I got up and did something because I was tired of doing nothing but complaining and getting nowhere fasr in the process.
This entire article has been a blessing for me today. Thank You.

Hi. Been reading your site for a while. Love the advice and quotes you offer. One I’ve always lived by is “There is more than one way to get around a tree”. In other words, if you find something blocking your path, take a minute to consider alternative approaches to deal with the situation at hand, you’ll be surprised how resourceful you can be!

Like Nancy says aove, I am 65 and still needing to hear all this. When you are getting older, and you are an over thinker with tremendous loss, it is hard to focus on goodness that may lie ahead.
Caring for your elderly parents and seeing what is to come, is not always a pretty picture. It is hard to stay positive when this is looming in front of you. The transitions that lay ahead of me are daunting. These quotes were just the thing for me to read today. Thanks.

Hi Marc and Angel,

Hope you are well today.

Thanks for the calming quotes above :-).

So many of these quotes resonate with me.
Especially #39 is often in my mind. I believe that anything I feel can be a source of motivation. When I become aware of frustration or disappointment in my heart, I take action and transform it into something positive in my life.

I often tell myself it is not what I achieved in life, but how far I have come that matters.

Each person needs to make the most of the cards that life gave them. When I simply do my best every day, I feel calm.
Whether I win or lose, the knowingness that I invested the efforts and had the ability to do so, make me feel calm.

I remind myself that nothing in my life should be taken for granted. I feel grateful for everything I can see and touch. I feel calm when I think about my blessings.

Kind regards
Noah

I really enjoy reading the emails I get from you each week. I actually look forward to checking my email to see what you have sent that I can share with my family. And this post with these quotes arriving in my inbox today was perfect timing as always. The first few hit home with me immediately, and some others are still sinking in.

Like a couple others have already stated above, I have several go-to daily affirmations, dozens of which I have also taken directly from your blog emails and books over the years.

One particular quote from your 1000 Things book that I have had taped to my office whiteboard for a while now, and frequently repeat to myself:

“No matter how chaotic the recent past has been, the immediate future is a clean, fresh, wide open slate. You are not your past habits. You are not your past mistakes. You are not how others have at one time treated you. You are only who you think you are right now in this moment. You are only what you do right now in this moment.”

There are so many great quotes that I can resonate with. Much needed thing to read on this week to get me going for sure. One of the quotes that helped me most is this one: Become a pioneer of the future; don’t become a pioneer of the past. This is so true; my past mistakes DO NOT define me in any way so start now with a fresh mind/soul!

At 77 years old, I still find your articles very helpful as I navigate through life. Marc and Angel, you have reinforced my positive attitude on many days recently and you’ve helped me ease those negative feelings that creep up on me. Please continue to do what you do.

Magglio Ordonez, outfielder for the White Sox and the Tigers, once said; “When I try to do too much, I don’t do too much, So I try not to do too much”.

Thanks for the inspiration, your weekly emails and essays are always a highlight!

Thanks. It’s easy to forget how far I’ve come, especially if I compare. And I honestly just had a dream about starting my days with more positive intentions and actions. Then, I read this.
