Positive Quotes about Lake

Let these Lake quotes help you to have a positive attitude toward life, and to think positively.

Drop guilt! - because to be guilty is to live in hell.
Not being guilty, you will have the freshness
of dewdrops in the early morning sun,
you will have the freshness of lotus petals in the lake,

Once guilt disappears you will have
a totally different kind of life, luminous and radiant.
You will have a dance to your feet
and your heart will be singing a thousand and one songs.

I am like a newborn.
I have what I have today;

perhaps a cherished memory,

I will make all decisions and actions based solely
on what I have today as a starting point."

Regrets and their cousins, resentments,
are a huge cause of self-inflicted suffering.
Sometimes it takes years of psychotherapy
to gain freedom from regrets about what you did or did not do,
and freedom from resentment over what others did or did not do.

to put the past in the past where it belongs.
However, sometimes a simple symbolic act can help immeasurably
to grant ourselves freedom from the past.

brings peace for today,
and creates a vision for tomorrow.
