"The world we are experiencing today is the result of our collective consciousness, and if we want a new world, each of us must start taking responsibility for helping create it"
~Rosemary Fillmore Rhea~
Because we do not know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well and yet everything happens only a certain number of times - and a very small number really. How many times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, an afternoon that is so deeply a part of your life that you can’t even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more? Perhaps not even that. How many times will you watch the full moon rise, perhaps twenty, and yet it all seems so limitless…”
Paul Bowles 1910-1999
American Writer and Composer
"Believe in yourself. Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers, you cannot be successful or happy."
~Norman Vincent Peale, 1898-1993, Author of the 'Power Of Positive Thinking'~
"There are two things to aim at in life: first to get what you want and, after that, to enjoy it. Only the wisest of mankind achieve the second."
~Logan Pearall Smith~
"Insight is a great vehicle for understanding why people behave the way they do. More important, it creates the clarity we all need to take appropriate action and to recognize that, in most cases, WE ARE NOT THE CAUSE of their behavior."
—Chelle Thompson, Inspiration Line-
If the only prayer you say in your whole life is “Thank you”, that would suffice.
~Meister Eckhart~
"When you know who you are;
when your mission is clear and you
burn with the inner fire of unbreakable will;
no cold can touch your heart;
no deluge can dampen your purpose.
You know that you are alive.”
Chief Seattle
Native American Indian
THE MAN IN THE GLASS
When you get what you want in your struggle for self
And the world makes you king for the a day,
Just go to a mirror and look at yourself
And see what THAT man has to say.
For it isn't you father or mother or wife
Whose judgement upon you must pass,
The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life
Is the one staring back from the glass.
Some people might think you're a straight-shooting chum
And call you a wonderful guy.
But the man in the glass says you're only a bum
If you can't look yourself straight in the eye.
He's the fellow to please, never mind all the rest,
For he's with you clear to the end,
And you've passed your most dangerous test
If the guy in the glass is your friend.
You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years
And get pats on the back as you pass,
But your final reward will be heartache and tears
If you've cheated the man in the mirror.

"It really doesn't matter if the person who hurt you deserves to be forgiven. Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself. You have things to do and you want to move on.”

"No matter what looms ahead, if you can eat today, enjoy the sunlight today, mix good cheer with friends today, enjoy it and bless God for it. Do not look back on happiness - or dream of it in the future. You are only sure of today; do not let yourself be cheated out of it.”

"Do more than belong: participate.
Do more than care: help.
Do more than believe: practice.
Do more than be fair: be kind.
Do more than forgive: forget.
Do more than dream: work.”
William Arthur Ward
