"We had to learn ourselves, and furthermore we had to teach the despairing men, that it did not matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life but instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life, daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for the individual."
-- Victor Frankl
"If you think you're too small to have an impact, try going to bed with a mosquito in the room."
-- Anita Roddick

I believe in the sun even if it isn't shining. I believe in love even when I am alone. I believe in God even when He is silent.

âEven the most daring and accomplished people have undergone tremendous difficulty. In fact, the more successful they became, the more they attributed their success to the lessons learned during their most difficult times. Adversity is our teacher. When we view adversity as a guide towards greater inner growth, we will then learn to accept the wisdom our soul came into this life to learn.â
-- Barbara Rose
âNo matter what difficulty you are facing, it is coming from Divine Light to bring you to a higher place within.

-- Barbara Rose

âDonât make someone a priority if they only make you an option.â
Employ the power of positive quitting. Most of us view quitting as something negative, but it's not. 'Winners never quit,' we're told, when, in reality, winners quit all the time: choosing to stop doing things that aren't creating the results they desire. When you quit all the things that aren't working for you, when you quit tolerating all the negative things that hold you back, you'll create a positive 'charge' in your life as well as create the space in your life for more positive experiences.
Jim Allen
I have found that if you love life,
life will love you back.
Arthur Rubinstein
The best day of your life is the one
on which you decide your life is your own.
No apologies or excuses.

The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey -
and you alone are responsible for the quality of it.
This is the day your life really begins.
Bob Moawad
Your life would be very empty
if you had nothing to regret.
Vincent Van Gogh
Worry is a thin stream of fear trickling through the mind.
If encouraged, it cuts a channel into which all other
thoughts are drained.
-anonymous
It's like driving at night in the fog.
You can see only as far as your headlights,
but you can make the whole trip that way.
Edgar Lawrence Doctorow
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.
Confucius
People often say that motivation doesn't last.
Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily.
Zig Ziglar
If I had a formula for bypassing trouble,
I wouldn't pass it around.
Wouldn't be doing anybody a favor.
Trouble creates a capacity to handle it.
I don't say embrace trouble.
That's as bad as treating it as an enemy.
But I do say, meet it as a friend,
for you'll see a lot of it and
had better be on speaking terms with it.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
âThe bad news is time flies. The good news
is (weâre) the pilot(s)!"

because freedom involves responsibility, and
most people are frightened of responsibility."

of creativity, the field of pure potentiality."

The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the
attribute of the strong.

When you hold resentment toward another, you are
bound to that person or condition by an emotional
link that is stronger than steel. Forgiveness is
the only way to dissolve that link and get free.

Always forgive your enemies--nothing annoys them
so much.
Oscar Wilde

power to love.

To understand is to forgive, even oneself.

he himself must pass.

Everything you need you already have.
You are complete right now, you are a whole,
total person, not an apprentice person on the way to
someplace else. Your completeness must be understood
by you and experienced in your thoughts as your own
personal reality.
Wayne Dyer
The universe is full of magical things
patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper.

Power through positive thinking, and you will be able to
draw abundance into your life.
Remez Sasson
Prosperity is not just having things. It is the consciousness
that attracts the things. Prosperity is a way of living and
thinking, and not just having money or things. Poverty is a
way of living and thinking, and not just a lack of money or
things.
Eric Butterworth
The reason most people never reach their goals is that
they don't define them, learn about them, or even seriously
consider them as believable or achievable. Winners can tell
you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way,
and who will be sharing the adventure with them.
Denis Waitley
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.
Orison Sweet Marden
It is not only my right and my privilege to walk in the
abundance God has for me, it is my responsibility...just
as it is my responsibility to live the rest of my truth.
Jan Denise
Expect your every need to be met. Expect the answer
to every problem, expect abundance on every level.
Eileen Caddy
We already have so much abundance. We truly do.
We need not search too far. It is within. The reason
we fail to recognize this is because we haven't quite
mastered the art of being. For abundance to prevail,
we must have love, gratitude, acceptance and compassion.
John Welwood
When you focus on being a blessing, God makes sure
that you are always blessed in abundance.
Joel Osteen
When we give, we simply make room for more to come in.
When we become deeply, authentically generous, it signals to
our abundant universe that there is a conduit open to receive
and distribute. We become part of the vital natural system.
Lenedra J. Caroll
Never again clutter your days or nights with
so many menial and unimportant things that you
have no time to accept a real challenge when it
comes along. This applies to play as well as work.
A day merely survived is no cause for celebration.
You are not here to fritter away your precious hours
when you have the ability to accomplish so much by
making a slight change in your routine. No more busy work.
No more hiding from success. Leave time, leave space, to grow.
Now. Now! Not tomorrow!
Og Mandino, 1923-1996
American Author and Inspirational Speaker
"Always remember others may hate you, but those who hate you don't

communication is the largest single factor
determining what kinds of relationships he
makes with others and what happens to him in the
world about him."

"Mindfulness means moment-to-moment, non-judgmental awareness.
It is cultivated by refining our capacity to pay attention,
intentionally, in the present moment, and then sustaining
that attention over time as best we can. In the process,
we become more in touch with our life as it is unfolding."
-- Myla & Jon Kabat-Zinn
"Higher consciousness, enLIGHTenment, comes from meaningful
experiences and lessons passed with the understanding that
there truly is only one law - the Law of Love. When one leads
a life expressing this belief, the mind and heart begin to
open to new realities, and other dimensional truths become known."
-- Dr. Norma Milanovich & Dr. Shirley McCune
"We need people in our lives with whom we can be as open
as possible. To have real conversation with people may seem
like such a simple, obvious suggestion, but it involves
courage and risk."

"You must speak straight so that your words may go as
sunlight to our hearts."
-- Cochise
