My Favorite 
Dove Chocolate Sayings

-- Also, keep the promises you make to others too. Just saying. That would be totally cool if you did. But really though, you just need to be true to God, yourself, and the makers of chocolate. You needn’t worry about anybody else. If you’re in good with a maker of chocolate, you’ll always have friends and family that adore you. And you’ll enjoy a sweet, sweet life!

“Wisdom has two parts: 
1) having a lot to say, 
and 2) not saying it.”

-- Truly divine wisdom with which even the Bible agrees. Proverbs 10:19 (NIV): “When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise.” The next time you feel enraged, write out how you feel on a piece of paper. (The part 1 of “having a lot to say”.) And then use that paper to start a fire with which you roast marshmallows and make S’mores with Dove Chocolate. If only the Hulk would try that little trick once in a while, the military could save lots of wasted tanks and mortar shells. And Doctor Banner could wear the same shirt more than once. 

“Footprints on the sands of time 
are not made by sitting down.”

-- Almost feels like this one should start with: “Confucius say ...” Because this reads like a fortune cookie. But this is sound advice. Resting, dreaming, and planning are all well and good, but at some point, to be effective, you must get up and implement those plans. Dreams come true, not because of pixie dust, but from determination and effort in action! Or if you save the life of a wealthy man who wants to make your every wish come true. 

“If you live in the present, 
every moment is a new beginning.”

-- True again. Another fortune cookie style nugget of wisdom. Only being chocolate, this is way tastier than a fortune cookie. I’m not sure how “in the present” I am, but I do like thinking of the first of each month as Happy New Month Day. Every Sunday is Happy New Week Day. And when I’m up past midnight, I think “Welcome to the new day.”

“The more you praise and celebrate your life, 

the more there is in life to celebrate.”

-- Makes sense to me. I had a girlfriend who could never feel happy, so I told her to write down at least three specific things each day for which she is thankful. ‘Cause in a week she’d have at least 21 things for which to be thankful. 90 or more in a month! How can you not be happy when you’ve got about 100 things for which to be thankful? Over 1,000 in a year! But I don’t think she ever followed my advice. Maybe because it was my advice. She’d rather be miserable, because I advised her to be happy. That’s just one of the reasons for which she became my ex.  And her being my ex is  just one more item on my list of things for which I give thanks. 

“The best ideas come 
after you think you’ve run out of them.”

-- So true. Maybe because the pressure’s off. Or your creative mind needed to make all those awful or silly ideas just to get that one great idea. Little known fun facts: The guy who invented the wheel (Joe Wheel) was trying to invent the Hula Hoop. The guy who invented fire (Joe Fire) was trying to create smoother sticks. The guy who invented rocket fuel (Joe Rocket Fuel) was trying to mix together an after-dinner drink with a little kick. Whew! What a kick! And just think, if Joe Namath hadn’t gone into sports, he might have invented something cool call the Namath. 

“Take time to laugh, 
it’s the music of the soul.”

-- Silly me. I thought music was the music of the soul. But, apparently, so too is laughter, according to the dogma and doctrine of Dove-ology. Fine with me. Laughing produces abundant benefits for the heart and mind. Positive laughter, that is. Like the kind I try to generate with my Heaven-Bent blog and other writings. 

My secret favorite ... 

“Share a smile with someone you love.”

-- Why is this my secret favorite? Honestly, because I had to pick something! And secondly, because it’s a bit mushy. But I truly would love to share lots of smiles with those I love. Especially, if that means, they’ll be sharing their chocolate with me! ;o)

Have a Sweet Day!

Blessings & Joy,

Dean
