― Kahlil Gibran “When I saw you I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew.” ― William Shakespeare “There comes a point when you either embrace who and what you are, or condemn yourself to be miserable all your days.

Every second that you live you are never going to get back. You are never going to get to change what you said, didn’t say, did, or didn’t do. Live how you want to live. Act how you want to be remembered, because you never know how long or short you are going to be here.- Emily Doberstein You can have success now, or you can have it later. It's entirely up to you.- Elements of Success |

It's not from the known, but the unknown, that creativity and inventiveness are born.
Turn away from the predictable, cliché, and reliable. Brave the void where the darkness is greatest. Trust the quiet, find the stillness, feel the calm. Then steadily think, speak, and move as if you were led. Behave as if your vision were clear. Anticipate the emotional rush that will come with your triumph. And as if by magic, as you raise your pen to write, you'll find the words have already been summoned, flooded in light that was there all along, in a world that has just as anxiously anticipated your arrival. ~notes from the Universe |
Greatness isn't supposed to be easy. But you can choose to have great effort every day. Jason Selk
Everything that happens is designed to awaken us. Everything. Leonard Jacobson "When you feel hurt and misunderstood, sometimes the only thing to do is find solace in nature."

I just love this quote... Gets me all warm and fuzzy inside. :mohawk: |
“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!”
― Hunter S. Thompson “I wonder how many people I've looked at all my life and never seen.” ― John Steinbeck “It's not the face, but the expressions on it. It's not the voice, but what you say. It's not how you look in that body, but the thing you do with it. You are beautiful.” ― Stephenie Meyer |
Life is like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt you represents determinism; the way you play it is free will.

If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other. ~Mother Teresa
Five great enemies to peace inhabit with us: avarice, ambition, envy, anger, and pride. If those enemies were to be banished, we should infallibly enjoy perpetual peace. ~Francesco Petrarch If in this present age we were to go back to the old time of "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth," there would be very few hon. gentlemen in this House who would not, metaphorically speaking, be blind and toothless. ~Mr. Graham, 1914, Canadian House of Parliament member, commonly attributed to Mahatma Gandhi as "An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind." |

"I write these words to name myself- to name each of us- worthy of going home, worthy of having our longing met, worthy of awakening in the arms of the Beloved. Finding & voicing our soul’s longing is not enough. Our ability to live in a way that is consistent with our longing- our ability to dance- is dependent upon what we believe we must do. If our intention is to change who we essentially are, we will fail. If our intention is to become who we essentially are, we cannot help but live true to the deepest longings of our soul." ~ Oriah from The Dance
