There is a force within that gives you life.
Seek that.

~ Rumi

Promise Yourself By Christian D. Larson

To be so strong that nothing
can disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity
to every person you meet.
To make all your friends feel
that there is something in them
To look at the sunny side of everything
and make your optimism come true.
To think only the best, to work only for the best,
and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others
as you are about your own.
To forget the mistakes of the past
and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful countenance at all times
and give every living creature you meet a smile.
To give so much time to the improvement of yourself
that you have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear,
and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world,
not in loud words but great deeds.
To live in faith that the whole world is on your side
so long as you are true to the best that is in you.”

"To be strong does not mean to sprout muscles and flex.
It means meeting one’s own numinosity without fleeing, actively living with the wild nature in one’s own way.
It means to be able to learn, to be able to stand what we know. It means to stand and live."

- Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Women Who Run With the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype

"You find peace not by rearranging the circumstances of your life, but by realizing who you are at the deepest level."

- Eckhart Tolle

The permanent temptation of life is to confuse dreams with reality.

The permanent defeat of life comes when dreams are surrendered to reality.

James A. Michener

I think a lot about the Department of Energy because energy is my baby; oil, gas, minerals, those things God has dumped on this part of the earth for mankind’s use instead of us relying on unfriendly foreign nations for us to import their resources. I think a lot about the Department of Energy and if I were head of that I’d get rid of it.

—Sarah Palin, when asked if she'd want a post in the Trump administration.

Death is a very dull, dreary affair, and my advice to you is to have nothing whatsoever to do with it.

W. Somerset Maugham
