"Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who come alive." ~ Howard Thurman | Continue »

Faith is raising the sail of our little boat until it is caught up in the soft winds above and picks up speed, not from anything within itself, but from the vast resources of the universe around us. ~W. Ralph Ward | Continue »

"...choose between little love and big love, between little life and big life, between little God and big God, between little freedom and big freedom, between little joy and big joy..." | Continue »

...that normal is not something to aspire to, it's something to get away from. Jody Foster said that, and she was right. Never settle for normal. Never. Normal is not natural. Extraordinary is natural. Who do you think you are, anyway...? What will you do today that is extraordinary? Plan it. Think it through. And do it. All the angels in heaven are waiting. And even if you 'fail', it will have been an extraordinary effort. That qualifies as extraordinary. Love, Your Friend.... Neale | Continue »

Someone once asked me 'why do you always insist on taking the hard road?' and I replied 'why do you assume I see two roads?' ~ Unknown | Continue »

"I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things:a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life. I've learned that making a living is not the same thing as making a life. I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I've learned that you shouldn't... | Continue »

"...may you realize your power to create such a day and such a life for yourself for you truly do possess it..." | Continue »

Now here is what I know will bring you joy. Decide that the rest of your life — every day, every moment, every word — is something that you will share with everyone whose life you touch in a way that ensures that they will know there is nothing they have to do, nowhere they have to go, and no way they have to be, in order to be loved by you right now. Let them know that they are perfect just as they are, just as they are standing there. Tomorrow's God Neale Donald Walsch Page 383 | Continue »

To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter; to be thrilled by the stars at night: to be elated over a bird's nest or a wildflower in spring ... these are some of the rewards of the simple life. ~ John Burroughs, Naturalist (1837-1921) ~ | Continue »

Spend the rest of your life giving people back to themselves, that they might love themselves. And show them by how you are with them that you know there is nothing they are lacking, nothing they are missing, nothing they need, nothing they are not. Tomorrow's God Neale Donald Walsch Page 384 | Continue »

The adventure of life is to learn. The purpose of life is to grow. The nature of life is to change. The challenge of life is to overcome. The essence of life is to care. The opportunity of life is to serve. The secret of life is to dare. The spice of life is to befriend. The beauty of life is to give. The joy of life is to love. William Arthur Ward American Author and Poet | Continue »

...that you are loved on this day for all the wonder that you bring to your world with the gift of being you. Hard to believe, isn't it, that you are that special in the eyes of God? Yet you are--and not because of what you have done, but because of who you are. You are God's own creation, an expression of Divinity in human form. The fastest way to experience this is to be the vehicle through which others sees it in themselves. Each person is walking his or her path and doing his or her best. God knows... | Continue »

...that you are not the things you do, but the way you are being. Your State of Being is the way you express your very definition of self. This has nothing to do with what you are doing, what you have done, or what you imagine you will do in the future. It has to do with the quality and the essence of the energy that emanates from you right now. Is it love, or is it fear? Everything you express emerges from one of these two starting points. Yet you can return to love, as Marianne Williamson famously wrote,... | Continue »

All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king. ~ J.R.R. Tolkien All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A... | Continue »
