Trust your inner wisdom
to lead you through the lessons
you need to learn,
down the paths you’re meant to travel...
to the success you deserve to find.
~ Paula Finn
A friend gives us freedom
to be completely ourselves,
accepting our weaknesses
along with our strengths —
they appreciate us as we are
without judging or blaming
us for what we are not.
~ Paula Finn
End each day with gratitude
for the experience you gained
and the growth you achieved…
and if you fell short of your goals —
Be grateful for tomorrow’s chance
to do better.
~ Paula Finn
A friend takes genuine interest
in what we think, say, and feel...
They’re always ready
to give the time we need
…and to appreciate the time we give.
~ Paula Finn
We can’t always
avoid disappointment,
but we can choose our response to it –
whether to blame or forgive,
to break or to bend,
to dwell on the past
or plan for the future…
to see the setback as an excuse to give up
…or as an incentive to give more.
~ Paula Finn
No one can be the best
at everything they try.
The most any of us can do
is to walk with confidence
toward our heart’s desires
with the deepest integrity,
the highest intention…
and the greatest love.
~ Paula Finn
The beauty of friendship
is that it is based on respect.
The joy of friendship
is that it is based on trust.
The strength of friendship
is that it is based on…Love.
~ Paula Finn
You can decide today…
to deny your fears their power,
to see your excuses for what they are –
and to realize the price you pay
waiting for your dreams to come to you.
~ Paula Finn
This is your day
to take a step forward,
no matter how small;
to confront a fear,
no matter how strong;
to follow a dream...
no matter how far.
~ Paula Finn
Give thanks
for the curiosity that stretches you,
the imagination that frees you,
and the creativity that connects you
to the soul of another --
and more deeply to your own.
