These are common sayings I often use to get particular points across–some are exclusively mine, some come from God’s Word, and several have been drawn from the wisdom of others. I often like to “play” on words because those types of sayings/quotes are often more easily remembered. Some are short, some are lengthy, but all of these quotes speak to whatever emotional crisis you may be navigating through. ((HUGS))

The clues are in the stages of a midlife crisis, the answers are in the articles–Hearts Blessing
The operative word is TIME, and the Man with the Plan, is GOD. Keep following your Intuition, give it all Time, and walk along after the Man with the Plan–Hearts Blessing

Before one can face the future, one must choose to face the past.–Hearts Blessing
Having respect for someone is about giving them space, and the right to make a choice for themselves, even if you don’t agree with what they are either about to do, or are doing. Right or wrong, they are adults, therefore accountable for their real and perceived mistakes. All you can do is step back, set firm boundaries, let go, and let God work His Will within a given situation.–Hearts Blessing
When you set a boundary on bad behavior you’re giving a person two choices: To choose to change in response, or choose to walk away in reaction.–Hearts Blessing
Boundaries are designed to protect you. They are not to be used for control, nor manipulation. You’re not trying to directly change a person, because you can’t control anyone but yourself. What you’re actually doing is making yourself clear about what you will and won’t tolerate in the way of behavior from other people.–Hearts Blessing
Boundaries are the first line of defense to preserve your self respect.–Hearts Blessing
The truth is, you have to face the past, before you can face the future…in the past lies the key to your future growth. If you’re not willing to look backward, it becomes very difficult to look forward. What isn’t faced within yourself, will always return to torment you. You can run from it, hide from it, bury it, but it doesn’t work, because it always returns to be faced–it’s only a matter of time before it does. ((HUGS)) That’s a major portion of a person’s journey that leads toward wholeness and healing.–Hearts Blessing
In order to grow outward one must be willing to examine oneself, and learn to expand inward. All change that takes place externally, always begins internally. Learn to accept these changes, grow with them, and in time, one will become God what always meant for them to be in Him.–Hearts Blessing
The first step of the journey takes courage, and requires a deep Self-examination, which involves overcoming the fear of discovering that you are just as human, therefore capable of making mistakes–as anyone else. —Hearts Blessing
It’s OK to just BE who you are for now, as you learn to accept your personal flaws, and begin learning what change, growth and becoming will mean for you as an individual person.–Hearts Blessing
It is truly a frightening thing to see, face, and embrace the unknown, but you can do this. If I can do it, anyone can do it. All it takes is opening your mind and heart to the vast, and endless, possibilities of what you can become within Self.–Hearts Blessing
One of the major aspects of emotional maturation is one’s Self identity. This leaves the question of “Who am I?” to be answered. This involves a full emotional “stripping” of all additional identities that life in progress has added over time. When all of the outer layers have been removed, what will remain is a Self you’ll want to get to know all over again.–Hearts Blessing
The day each of you married your spouse, your marriage vows actually prophesied the future. “For better OR for worse.” The midlife crisis will be the worst emotional trial you will ever face, and it will test your commitment to the max. Are you up to challenge?–Hearts Blessing
The Truth shall set you free, but Deception will keep you bound.–Hearts Blessing
The Midlife Crisis definition of insanity is the midlife spouse who continues to do the same things over and over and over, that changes everything for everyone else, while not expecting anything to change for them.–Hearts Blessing

Remain detached-do NOT react–Hearts Blessing
Anyone else’s problems will never become your responsibility–Hearts Blessing
The expert in anything was once a beginner.–Anonymous
Are you ready to give up the person you are, to change, and grow, so that you can eventually transform into the person you are meant to become?–Hearts Blessing
You can BE happy, OR you can BE miserable. It’s YOUR PERSONAL CHOICE, based in free will given unto you by God as a gift. With that said, why would anyone choose to be miserable over events, and people they will NEVER be able to control? Food for thought.–Hearts Blessing
“Anybody can become angry – that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way – that is not within everybody’s power and is not easy.”― Aristotle
“All that’s needed for evil to flourish is for good people to say nothing.”–Edmund Burke (1729 – 1797)
