Hi all

I have seen threads that talk about feeling low etc so I thought I'd start a thread based on positive/inspiring verse, sayings, lyrics or images. When someone does feel bad/depressed they might gain something from this thread......There might be another thread here somewhere like this ..but I haven't seen it.


Hands by Jewel

If I could tell the world just one thing
It would be, we're all okay
And not to worry
'Cause worry is wasteful and useless
In times like these

I won't be made useless
Won't be idle with despair
I will gather myself around my faith
For light does the darkness most fear


My hands are small I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
But they're not yours, they are my own
and I am never broken

karma for the great thread idea! :)

I agree.  What a great thread.  Here is my feel-good song called:

"Better Things" by the Kinks

Here's wishing you the bluest sky,
And hoping something better comes tomorrow.
Hoping all the verses rhyme,
And the very best of choruses to
Follow all the doubt and sadness.
I know that better things are on the way.

Here's hoping all the days ahead
Won't be as bitter as the ones behind you.
Be an optimist instead,
And somehow happiness will find you.
Forget what happened yesterday,
I know that better things are on the way.

It's really good to see you rocking out
And having fun,
Living like you just begun.
Accept your life and what it brings.
I hope tomorrow you'll find better things.
I know tomorrow you'll find better things.

Here's wishing you the bluest sky,
And hoping something better comes tomorrow.
Hoping all the verses rhyme,
And the very best of choruses to
Follow all the drudge and sadness.
I know that better things are on the way.

I know you've got a lot of good things happening up ahead.
The past is gone it's all been said.
So here's to what the future brings,
I know tomorrow you'll find better things.
I know tomorrow you'll find better things.

We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day

There’s a choice we're making
We’re saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a better day, just you and me  8)

This one always makes me positive and happy  ;)


Turn Up Your Radio - Masters Apprentices

Rockin' and Rollin', you're still doing it now
15 years today and you remember how
You're gonna hear it now
Blastin' out your radio
Listen to the music now
Turn Up Your Radio

Stop what you're doing and listen to us

1956 the jukeboxes really jumped
The bass guitar and drums they really thumped
Everybody's learning from what they did a long time ago
Listen to the music now
Turn Up Your Radio

One, two, three o'clock, four o'clock rock
Five, six, seven o'clock, eight o'clock rock
Nine ten, eleven o'clock, twelve o'clock rock
We're gonna rock!
Oh yeah we gotta rock around the clock baby
I'll tell you what I do
Yeah you gotta rock around the clock Danny boy

This one always makes me positive and happy  ;)

They're an Australian band that sadly only charted here...

Glad you liked it !  :)

It's kind of a sad song,but it also gives you hope..The Rose - Bette Midler

Some say love it is a river
that drowns the tender reed
Some say love it is a razer
that leaves your soul to blead

Some say love it is a hunger
an endless aching need
I say love it is a flower
and you it's only seed

It's the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance
It's the dream afraid of wakingthat never takes the chance
It's the one who won't be taken
who cannot seem to give
and the soul afraid of dyingthat never learns to live

When the night has been too lonely
and the road has been too long
and you think that love is only
for the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winterfar beneath the bitter snows
lies the seed
that with the sun's love
in the spring
becomes the rose

good choice ninny.  The Rose is one of my favorite songs

Just the first verse

If you've got a problem, I don't care what it is
If you need a hand, I can assure you this
I can help, I've got two strong arms, I can help
It would sure do me good to do you good,
Let me help

It's only when you set your sights high, that you can find out how high you can really reach.......

good choice ninny.  The Rose is one of my favorite songs

Thank You..I've always liked it ever since the movie :)
Here are some lyrics to You Got A Friend-James Taylor,another song that gives me a positive message
When youre down and troubled
And you need a helping hand
And nothing, whoa nothing is going right.
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest nights.

You just call out my name,
And you know whereever I am
Ill come running, oh yeah baby
To see you again.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall,
All you have to do is call
And Ill be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Youve got a friend.

you're 2 for 2 ninny. another good one for this thread. I too loved the movie The Rose, even though it's kinda depressing, but Bette Midler was great and the song is too

That's true the movie was depressing,but despite that I liked it.

Just a little thought...

As your deepest desire is, so are your thoughts.
As your deepest thoughts are, so is your speech.
As your speech is, so are your actions.
As your actions are, so is your destiny.

Old Chinese proverb.....

No act of kindness,
or word of praise
or encouragement, no matter how small,
is ever wasted.

Thanks Bob,At least I try sometimes to be positive.

That's right, I read something to that effect at my success meeting last night . . .

Correct Bobby......It is your decisions, not the circumstances of your life, that determine where you are today. To arrive at a different place you must make different choices and decisions...... :)

Inspired by Bobby's strong new positive attitude.........

It is your duty as a human being to proceed as if there were no limits to your abilities...... 8)

Absolutely, and this leads me on to the Anthony Robbins quote I read on my counsellor's wall a couple of weeks ago . . .

'If you do what you have always done, you will get the results you have always got.'

So..the first question must be .....are you happy with who you are now?

Heh heh, you continued with it . . . Fair enough, I'll answer that. Right now, I'm not completely happy with myself, but the fact that I am willing to remove the kinks makes me happy. :)
