Quotes by Donna Lynn Hope

A friendship has but one chief adversary and that is envy. It is sired by resentment with the potential consequence of unresolved estrangement. She looked at the woman in conflict and said, Do not envy her but imagine what it took for her to have what you resent her for. Would you want to embark upon her journey instead of your own to procure it? You notice her abundance but overlook her losses; do not envy her because she would rather have your friendship than your envy. The woman looked at her and nodded in accord, And how do you do that? she asked. The woman sighed in reflective thought. By changing the way you think.

You wonder why he loves her, shes so unlike any other, but any man can love an ordinary woman. They’re everywhere and whereas he’s had other women love him before, they were women who loved a lot, and such love is fickle, never setting anyone apart.Attaining the love of someone known not to love is an honor and the highest level of love there is, because it’s rare, and real.

Neither one of them could turn off their feelings, even with so much time and distance between them. The more they were apart, and the more they werent allowed to be together, the more they loved each other.

Not only are the poorest people the most generous but they dont expect anything in return, least of all recognition from others by means of showing off or posting a humble brag like so many from average society do and you can identify these people through the abundance of photos they post, literally with their hands in the air, showing off what theyve done for the less fortunate. I guess they missed the part where God said to be humble and to do good works in private.

Attraction isnt wrong. People can’t help who they are drawn to and they certainly can’t control affinity, as uncommon as it is. What is wrong is acting on inclination if it hurts someone else, namely a significant other.

People will sometimes find themselves attracted to others, thats just who they are. Its what they do with that attraction that defines them.
