I have a book of common sayings, or words of wisdom.

as long as we keep prooving our self to to GOD we are coooool. ( my opinion) love, apple.

In reality, there is nothing to prove. Who on this earth is qualified to stand and judge us? Who is so important that we have to prove something to them before they will accept us? Just by being present on this earth, we are already approved by the everything (universe or God) that sent us here. None of us need prove anything to anyone. Living without the need or requirement to prove something is the ultimate personal freedom. I like many of the old sayings and truisms, but unless you do some critical thinking about most of them, you will find yourself accepting most of them and sometimes they are not in our best interests.

How very very true, this is definitely so for me I have proved to myself that I can be strong and confident and I am proud of what I have achieved, I have now made a massive change in my life and I am getting out and starting afresh. I haved proved that I CAN and WILL do it and nothing or no one is going to hold me back!

PS Love your picture.

I feel that is the truth for most people and including for me. I got pregnant before marriage at the age of 18. I had never been to college, and did not want to go to college at the time. When my family found out I was nocked up they gave me all kinds of grief. This was over 30 years ago. My older sister told me that I was not going to make anything of myself and become a fat lazy house wife. Well I showed them. I became an RN supervisor of a sleep lab, which I was making 6K a month. I also have been married to the same man and we will be celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary on Monday the father of my baby. My two sisters have both been married and divorced. So I needed to show them and myself that I was not going to let having children early stop me from following my dream of becoming a nurse.

those are true words at least for me any ways. I am always trying to prove I can do something better then_____. I finally decided that proving I can do something better or the same as others does not make that much of a difference in the long term. I have some what stopped compeating with myself and others and now take it at the same pace as others. hugs

I for the most part don`t bother with things like that its just a waste of time . To me and the other person , or thats what I think anyways .

Words have the magic. A person who has the ability to use the right words in the right time is like a magician. Words can make people happy and make people sad. Words can turn a person to do good things and do bad things. Words has the power to hurt people. A sucessful person is the person who is able to use correct words at right time. I remember the words from a movie in which Robbins Williams says "Watch your togue young man." Yes we need to watch for words. Words makes us stupid and makes us wise.

Just publish and let everybody get a glimpse of it.

Hello there. I feel that the saying is very true. Some of us are motivated by our inner desires and we do things to prove to ourselves that we can do it. Whereas, some of us are motivated by other's opinions of us (or how others see us) and we do things to prove to others.

So true.. Yeah. I have always had bunch of relatives hanging around the house saying " My son Did this" " my son Did that" .. whateva... and then upon that my parents start getting all worried that I ain't studying and will I be able to stand up in the world. I usually read short one liners and proverbs from a small collection of pdfs I have. bourne
