Forget mistakes. Forget failures. Forget everything except what you're going to do now and do it. Today is your lucky day.
I gave my life to become the person I am right now. Was it worth it ? ~ Richard Bach
It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are. Never be bullied into silence.Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself. ~Harvey Fierstein
There are things that we don't want to happen, but have to accept.Things we don't want to know, but have to learn. And people we can't live without, but have to let go. ~Author Unknown
Humility means to understand the self and through that to understand others as well. Humility is the attitude where a person is not attached to his or her opinion and feelings. Humility is the most natural expression of truth. Humility does not mean bowing down and being subservient to others. Humility allows you to see benefit in everything. Developing humility brings a lot of comfort and ease into your life.
Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain.... Accept the seasons of your heart, even as you have always accepted the seasons that pass over your fields. ~Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet, 1923
When the Japanese mend broken objects, they aggrandize the damage by filling the cracks with gold. They believe that when something's suffered damage and has a history it becomes more beautiful. ~Barbara Bloom
Sow a thought and reap a deed. Sow a deed and reap a habit. Sow a habit and reap a character. Sow a character and reap a destiny. Your thoughts guide you to your destiny. If you always think the same you will always get to the same place. Think in a new way and you will be a new person. Give happiness to all and you will live in peace. Create peace in your mind and you will create a world of peace around you.
Everything has its beauty but not everyone sees it. ~ Confucius
The Wise Man believes profoundly in silence - the sign of a perfect equilibrium. Silence is the absolute poise or balance of body, mind and spirit. The man who preserves his self-hood ever calm and unshaken by the storms of existence - is the ideal attitude and conduct of life. Silence is the cornerstone of character. ~Ohiyesa Santee Sioux
Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents, which in prosperous circumstances would have lain dormant. Let us not pray to be sheltered from dangers but to be fearless when facing them.To go against the dominant thinking of your friends, of most of the people you see every day, is perhaps the most difficult act of heroism you can perform. - Theodore H. White
“For hatred is corrosive of a person’s wisdom and conscience; the mentality of enmity can poison a nation’s spirit, instigate brutal life-and-death struggles, destroy a society’s tolerance and humanity. I hope therefore … to counter the hostility of the regime with the best of intentions, and defuse hate with love.” - Liu Xiaobo, essayist, and dissident, awarded the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize.
A young man asked Socrates the secret to success.Socrates said to meet him near the river where he took the man and ducked him into the water until he started turning blue. 'What did you want the most when you were there?" asked Socrates? The man replied "Air." Socrates said, "That is the secret to success. When you want success as badly as you wanted the air, then you will get it.There is no other secret."
The beauty of the soul shines out when a man bears with composure one heavy mischance after another, not because he does not feel them, but because he is a man of high and heroic temper. ~Aristotle
There is so much meaness, greed, and hatred in this world. And at times it seems overwhelming. But there is great kindness, goodness, and love in this world and these are far more powerful. By your own soul, learn to live. And if men thwart you, take no heed. If men hate you,have no care.Sing your song, dream your dream, Hope your hope and pray your prayer.
“A human being is part of a whole, called by us the Universe, a part limited in time and space.He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.” - Einstein
"I don't pretend to know what love is for everyone, but I can tell you what it is for me; love is knowing all about someone, and still wanting to be with them more than any other person, love is trusting them enough to tell them everything about yourself, including the things you might be ashamed of, love is feeling comfortable and safe with someone, but still getting weak knees when they walk into a room and smile at you." By: Dan DeClark
I firmly believe that if you follow a path that interests you, not to the exclusion of love, sensitivity, and cooperation with others, but with the strength of conviction that you can move others by your own efforts, and do not make success or failure the criteria by which you live, the chances are you'll be a person worthy of your own respect. - Neil Simon
A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself. Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.For heights and depths no words can reach, music is the soul's own speech.Those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who could not hear the music. ~Angela Monet/Abraham Maslow
Courage is reclaiming your life after a devastating event robs you of your confidence and self-esteem.It is facing tomorrow with a firm resolve to reach deep within yourself to find another strength, another talent..It is taking yourself to another level of your own existence where you are once again whole, productive, special...Courage is not the absence of fear. Courage is the wisdom to act in spite of fear.
A song that takes you away, for there are those who cannot hear.The beauty of a sunset, for there are those who cannot see.The warmth and safety of your home,for there are those who are homeless.Time spent with good friends for there are those who are lonely.A walk along the beach for there are those who cannot walk.The little things are what life is all about. Search your soul and learn to appreciate.
We see injustice being done to our neighbor and remain silent. “I’m not getting involved in fights for nothing” is the explanation. This is a cowardly attitude and whoever travels down a spiritual path carries an honor code to be fulfilled; the voice that is raised against what is wrong is always heard by God. Believing that a miracle can happen at any moment is necessary for our happiness but also for our protection
Alice in Wonderland laughs: - It’s no good trying. Only fools believe that impossible things can happen. - I think what you need is a little training – answers the Queen. – When I was your age I would practice at least half an hour a day, right after breakfast, I tried very hard to imagine five or six unbelievable things that could cross my path, and today I see that most of the things I imagined have turned real, I even became a Queen because of that."
Get around the right people.Associate with positive, goal-oriented people who encourage and inspire you.You need to be aware of what others are doing,applaud their efforts, acknowledge their successes,and encourage them in their pursuits.
When we all help one another, everybody wins.Feelings of worth can flourish only in an atmosphere where individual differences are appreciated and rules are flexible
Solitude is the nurse of enthusiasm,and enthusiasm is the true parent of genius. In all ages solitude has been called for. In solitude we give passionate attention to our lives, to our memories, to the details around us.What a lovely surprise to finally discover how unlonely being alone can be.Our language has created the word loneliness to express the pain of being alone: solitude to express the glory of being alone
The golden opportunity you are seeking is in yourself. It is not in your environment,
it is not in luck or chance or the help of others;it is in yourself alone.There is no scarcity of opportunity to make a living at what you love; there's only a scarcity of resolve to make it happen.Don't sit down and wait for the opportunities to come;
you have to get up and make them.The door to opportunity is labeled 'push'
When you learn to embrace your self with a sense of appreciation and affection, you begin to glimpse the goodness and light that is in you and gradually you will realize that you are worthy of respect from yourself and the sense of inner dignity begins to grow. You become freer and less dependent on the affirmation of outer voices and less troubled by the negativity of others.
I am often accused of being childish.I prefer to interpret that as child-like. I still get wildly enthusiastic about little things. I tend to exaggerate and fantasize.I play with leaves. I skip down the street and run against the wind. I never water my garden without soaking myself. It has been after such times of joy that I have achieved my greatest creativity and produced my best work. ~Leo F. Buscaglia
Just because something cannot be easily quantified, does not mean it holds no value. In fact, the things of most value in life cannot be quantified. As for courage and will - we cannot measure how much of each lies within us. We can only trust there will be sufficient to carry through trials which may lie ahead...
It's not how much you accomplish in life that really counts, but how much you give to other. It's not how high you build your dreams that makes a difference, but how high your faith can climb. It's not how many goals you reach, but how many lives you touch. Believe in the impossible, hold tight to the incredible, and live each day to its fullest potential. You can make a difference in your world.
It takes more courage to reveal insecurities,than to hide them. More strength to relate to people, than to dominate them. More 'manhood' to abide by thought-out principles rather than blind reflex.Toughness is in the soul and spirit,not in muscles and an immature mind. - Alex Karras
One of Albert Schweitzer's last statements was quoted as: "The destiny of man is to be more and more human." He was mistaken. The destiny of man is to become progressively less human and more humane, less compulsive and more creative, less instinctive and more intuitive, less material and more spiritual. Man's destiny is to always become more fully divine.
Before falling in love with someone, learn to love yourself. Before being happy with someone, learn to be happy on your own.Before caring for someone, learn to care for yourself. Before considering someone important, learn that the most important person in your life is YOU.Once you have learnt to unconditionally love your life and yourself, you are ready to love someone else. And the right love will come to you.
You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserves your love and affection. - Buddha
I judge you not by what you wear, Whether your garment is of rag or riches.I know you, for who you are inside of you, Not for your smiles, for smiles could be false. Not for your looks, for looks could deceive. Not for your appearance, for that won’t last. And not for your clothes, for that only covers. For the eye within sees even more. I see you with the eye of Soul.
The success or failure of your deeds does not add up to the sum of your life. Your Spirit cannot be weighed. Judge yourself by the intent of your actions and by the strength with which you have faced the challenges that have stood in your way. The Universe is vast and we are so small. There is really only one thing we can ever truly control....whether we are good or evil
“If a human being dreams a great dream; if a human being dares to be Martin King, or Mahatma Gandhi, or Mother Theresa, or Malcolm X; if a human being dares to be bigger than the condition into which she or he was born—it means so can you.”
You are looked upon as some of the most exceptional souls in the Universe to have taken on the challenge of duality. It was almost unthinkable that you would risk temporarily losing your connection with your Higher Self, your Godself. Yet you had total faith. The awakening grows so rapidly now, give yourselves a pat on the back as Ascension is assured. From our level it has already been achieved – you are victorious
Even so, you are not without immense help, and many loving Beings oversee your lives. If you could truly see the magnificent Beings that draw close to Earth, you would have no fear or doubts about your future.These Wayshowers have ensured that the dark has been unable to completely subdue the Light. Now you are at the doors of success,The Light is waiting to burst out all over and it cannot be repelled.
