Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Rita Schiano
Tears are God's gift to us. Our holy water. They heal us as they flow. - Rita Schiano, from Sweet Bitter Love
Talking about our problems is our greatest addiction. Break the habit. Talk about your joys.
Hope gives life meaning, propels us forward and sharpens our vision of the future.
It is the simplest things that are often the hardest for us to do; yet it is the simple things that can change our lives.
We cannot go back and rewrite our history, but we can at any present point redirect our focus and write a new ending.
To manifest what you want in life you cannot simply act as if; you must embrace the possibility as a probability; you must feel it deep within the core of your being.
Why set goals? Goals keep us focused on our message and mission, keep us disciplined in our actions, and help us achieve what we want in life. Goals help us to flourish.
To prepare for the larger challenges in life, begin by taking small risks and challenging old, familiar patterns of behavior. Take a risk today. Do one thing differently from the way you normally do it. It can be as simple as changing the order in which you get dressed, driving a different route to work, or showing patience when feeling tested.
