Sticky Note Quotes

To Know

Posted on by A. Long

The only way to eliminate stress and pain is to stop doing the things

that create it

It is easy to see what others do to us while we forgot the drama

we create for ourselves

How?

Take your pick:

The need to be right

Lack of life purpose

How we think others see you

Trying to fix the world

Dishonesty with self and others

Accepting someone else’s truth

Seeking material wealth over spiritual values

Doing it alone

My way is the right way

Fear of the future

Negative thought patterns

Trying to prove yourself to others

Anger over the past

Telling other people what to do.

 

It all boils down to “not knowing who we are.”

–Iyanla Vanzant, Acts Of Faith

 

 

10 Things I Hate About You

Posted on by A. Long

I hate the way you talk to me,

and the way you cut your hair.

I hate the way you drive my car.

I hate it when you stare.

I hate your big dumb combat boots,

and the way you read my mind.

I hate you so much it makes me sick;

it even makes me rhyme.

I hate the way you’re always right.

I hate it when you lie.

I hate it when you make me laugh,

even worse when you make me cry.

I hate it when you’re not around,

and the fact that you didn’t call.

But mostly I hate the way I don’t hate you. Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.

–Kat Stratford, 10 Things I Hate About You (1999)
