  Behavior is a much better barometer of what you are than words.

  Feelings aren't emotions that happen to you.  Feelings are reactions you choose to have, and they show up in your body as physical reactions to your thoughts.

  The moments between events are just as livable as the events themselves.

  When you have the choice of being right or being kind, just choose kind.

  Found on a box of Equal sweetener with NutraSweet:

  Phenylketonurics: Contains phenylalanine.

  Finally,  a clear, concise, and simple warning we can all understand.

  You have a God-given right to be successful.  In your Creator's eyes, no one on this planet is any better than you.

  Forgiveness is the most powerful thing you can do to get on the spiritual path.  If you can't do it, you can forget about getting to higher levels of awareness and creating real magic in your life.

I forgive saleo.

  Found on white-pigmented KILZ Sealer,Primer,Stain-Blocker

          DANGER:  Flammable.  Harmful or fatal if swallowed.

With a name like KILZ, are any other warnings really necessary?

                                  RIP

  Instead of saying, "Why is this happening to me? Isn't this awful.  Poor me," begin to say, "What do I have to LEARN from this?"

  Found on an Intex brand Sno-Tube floatation toy:

          Only to be used in water in which child is within its depth and under supervision.

Check label on child to verify its appropriate depth. 

  Everything I ever worried about turned out exactly as it was going to despite my anxious moments to the contrary.

  Highly functioning people say, "Where I am is fine, but I can grow."

  Found on a bottle of Brut aftershave lotion:

                WARNING:  Flammable until dry.  Do not use when smoking or near fire, flame, or heat.

You spot an attractive person, you splash on a little aftershave, you light up a smoke for that sophisticated look, you -BOOM! - you spend the rest of the night in the burn unit.

  If you expect to be upset, then you'll seldom disappoint yourself.

  The path to the big picture is different for everyone, but the understanding has to be that the big picture is there, and its availability is there.
