					<description><![CDATA[Unfortunately there is only so much of your self that you can give or do for others, until you feel used &#38; taken advantage of and wind up disheartened. ~ Teresa Aguilar  When you are discouraged, that is a good time to encourage someone else. It helps both of you. Some might find it uplifting to be able to help someone else, when they are unable to change their own circumstances. Not to give up on life entirely, may be their salvation. The people that know best about pain are those that suffer. ~ Fran Gallegos  Going through your own storm sometimes ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Never let a bad situation bring out the worst in you. Choose to stay positive and be the strong person that God created you to be. Every hour of the day keeps our time moving away worthy. I do not mind things that keeps me upset, on the other hand I move further that people think negatively about what I did and kept me more confidently to show them, truly who am I that cost simply, life so precious and just isn&#8217;t a mere celebrity that shows only their outside but not their truly inner being. That&#8217;s why, all alone keeps myself going, that ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I went from being an immature, depressed unbeliever to a more self-assured, stronger woman of God. I don&#8217;t blame my ex, but I do wonder how I could have allowed myself to treat myself and be treated like such crap. I also treated him like crap. Thanks to God for the ability to love myself better and have a partner who is much better for me and my needs. ~ Jenny Tressler  God&#8217;s plans are so much better than any we could ever make. We must learn to praise Him, Love Him, ask Him then wait/look for His answer. That&#8217;s the ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The material world is empty and a huge distraction from what&#8217;s important. It&#8217;s a jail really &#38; we have the key, to let ourselves out. ~ Pamela Musante  I was once told &#8221; I buy things to show people I love them &#8230;.&#8221; One who is not materialistic and truly loves with their heat, know the true meaning of love and can enjoy life, friends, and family. ~ Unknown &#160;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Giving without expectations is a great feeling! ITS BETTER TO GIVE THAN TO RECEIVE&#8230; SHARE WHAT YOU HAVE TO OTHERS ESPECIALLY WHO NEEDED MOST! I don&#8217;t give to get something back. I do it because I like giving and making someone feel good for at least one moment out of their day. ~ Susie Hahn  The self gratification received from doing things for people should be enough of a repayment for anyone! &#160;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s good that you don&#8217;t respond to people make you feel bad. They are looking for a response to make them feel better about themselves. Never take anything personally because people are really only speaking or acting because of their own issues. ~ John Atkinson  &#160;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Sometimes people take others for granted. They don&#8217;t realize what they have until they&#8217;re gone. Cherish those that are there for you and you be there for them. Treat one another like a delicate rose. Nurture it. For if you don&#8217;t once the petals drop off you have nothing left. ~ Linda Hornyak  Life is too short to run after people who don&#8217;t see you! &#160;]]></description>
