My friend Christine posts the best Facebook status updates. They’re always uplifting and usually contain some nugget of learning. When she gave me permission to reprint her status she let me know that she is not the author – and she wasn’t sure where it came from — so off I went to research the lines. It turns out there are two authors.
The first sentence has been attributed to Chamfort, a French playwright (1741-1794). You can see more of his quotes at thinkexist.com. The second portion, the part about life, comes from Virginia Satir who was an American psychologist and educator (1916-1988).
In researching Virginia Satir I came across one of the most beautiful and inspirational stories I have ever read. I hope you follow this link and read it. It will make your day.
By chance is one of your strengths Input? I love how you chase down information to share with others. THAT is inspiring!
