Thought Of The Month: August 2020 ~ Kick Back and Reflect …

By: Vince DiPasquale

August is a time to kick back and reflect. We have all been through so much these past months.

A friend of mine put together some quotes of mine from the lectures I do. I would like to share them with you as food for thought.


  • Look at people the way they are and not the way you want them to be.
  • Attitudes are learned so all attitudes can be changed.
  • Self-esteem is another form of spirituality.
  • We came into this world for a purpose.
  • Acceptance is facing the reality of what is.
  • Never deny anyone their pain and struggle. No pain, no gain.
  • If you keep it inside it becomes a mountain. Share it; let it out and it gets smaller.
  • Share with someone who won’t give advice, but just be there for you.
  • For every defect there is an asset. From the defects you discern your assets.
  • What you can do, you do. What you can’t do, don’t do.
  • Make peace with yourself.
  • The grieving process begins anytime you end something.
  • When you meet someone who is obnoxious remember they have come into your life to teach you what obnoxious is.
  • Sometimes you must wallow in the mud until you begin to realize, it’s “mud”.
  • We don’t want closure. We want to hang onto something that so we can place blame.
  • Self-esteem comes from the inside out.
  • Good healthy growth is 10 steps forward and 8 steps back. That’s progress!
  • You have no control over anyone else.
  • Nothing happens by accident.
  • The sun comes up even on a cloudy day.

I hope these quotes help you see how simple life really is. Enjoy these beautiful days. Make sure you always celebrate life in the spirit of gratitude for each day!
