" Thought of the day "

I looked and did not see a thread for this

Thought for the Day “Good manners will open doors
that the best education cannot.”

Ms. Tabitha · 11-16-2010, 08:21 AM

Wishes you the vision to see what you truly need, the courage to seek what your heart desires and the strength to endure till all your dreams come true.

Ms. Tabitha · 11-16-2010, 08:23 AM

Laugh with your Eyes, Hug with your Soul and Smile with your Heart

Thought for the Day
“The evil of the world is made possible by nothing
but the sanction you give it.”

If you were going to die soon and had only one phone call you could make, who would you call and what would you say? And why are you waiting? ~Stephen Levine

Apocalipstic · 11-16-2010, 03:39 PM

"Thousands of things go right for you every single day, beginning the moment you wake up. Through some magic you don't fully understand, you're still breathing and your heart is beating, even though you've been unconscious for many hours. The air is a mix of gases that's just right for your body's needs, as it was before you fell asleep.

You can see! Light of many colors floods into your eyes, registered by nerves that took God or evolution or some process millions of years to perfect. The interesting gift of these vivid hues is made possible by an unimaginably immense globe of fire, the sun, which continually detonates nuclear reactions in order to convert its own body into light and heat and energy for your personal use.

You can't live without the sun's inexhaustible flood of unconditional love.
Every move you make depends on it. Luckily, it never fails you.

Did you know that your personal star is located at the precise distance from you to be of consummate service? If it were any closer, you'd fry, and if it were any farther away, you'd freeze. Is that just a happy accident? Or is it a sign of favor -- a big, broad hint, from a cosmic intelligence that adores you?

+

Of the many things that have gone right for you during your time on Earth, the most crucial was your birth. As you crossed over the threshold, trading the warm dark sanctuary for the bright noisy enigma, you didn't die! It was a difficult act of high magic that involved many people who worked very hard in your behalf. The skills they provided in helping you navigate your rite of passage were in turn made possible by previous generations of threshold-tenders who bequeathed their expertise.

Months before that initiation, a more secret miracle bloomed: Your life began as a single cell, spawned by the explosive fusion of two highly specialized bundles of chromosomes. How could that tiny package of raw material have possibly grown a brain and liver and heart and stomach over a period of a few months? What inscrutable genius guided and oversaw the emergence of your fully formed infant body, that virtuoso creation, from the slimmest of clues?

"Something unknown is doing we don't know what," said astrophysicist Arthur Eddington about the universe. And we are the beneficiaries.

P.S. You have continued to grow since your birth, with millions of new cells continually blooming to replace the old ones that are always dying.
At this moment, you're host to about 50 trillion cells, and each of them is really a sentient being in its own right. They all act together as a community, implementing the monumental collaboration you call your body."

"According to my own experience, the highest level of inner calm comes from the development of love and compassion. The more concerned we are with the happiness of others, the more we increase our own well-being. Friendliness and warmth towards others allow us to relax and help us to dispel any sense of fear or insecurity so we can overcome whatever obstacles we face." The Dalai Lama

Abigail Crabby · 11-16-2010, 08:01 PM

A good friend will help you up when you fall. A great friend will heal the wound you got from falling. A best friend comes with a bat saying "Who pushed you!?"

Blade · 11-16-2010, 08:30 PM

“Don’t be pushed by your problems.
Be led by your dreams.”

Our march toward the infiite is a long journey, not to be finished within a few hours, a few days, or a few years. Though we see many around us fallling or retreating, we must go forward.

Thought for the Day
“When love is real you don’t get over it at all,
it stays with you forever, expanding your heart
and enabling you to love others more deeply.
Love is a gift child, a grace.”

Blade · 12-25-2010, 06:58 PM

" Be real, be unique, be true and don't let other people dominate you. You can rule the world, but don't let the world rule you. Stand firm in your perception and don't let others walk over you."
