“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion to clarity.

~ Margery Allingham

"Everyone at some point will suffer a loss - the loss of loved ones, good health, a job. It's your desert experience - a time of feeling barren of options, even hope. The important thing is not to allow yourself to be stranded in the desert." ~ Patrick Del Zoppo
"Grief is a journey, often perilous and without clear direction, that must be taken. The experience of grieving cannot be ordered or categorized, hurried or controlled, pushed aside or ignored indefinitely. It is inevitable as breathing, as change, as love. It may be postponed, but it will not be denied. ~ Molly Fumia

Grieving does not mean you are weak It is the first step toward regaining balance and strength. Grieving is part of the tempering process.
~ Joseph M. Marshall III
"To find a safe journey through grief to growth does not mean one should forget the past. It means that on the journey we will need safe pathways so that remembrance, which may be painful, is possible. ~ Donna O'Toole
"Every great loss demands that we choose life again. We need to grieve in order to do this. The pain we have not grieved over will always stand between us and life. When we don't grieve, a part of us becomes caught in the past like Lot's wife who,
because she looked back, was turned into a pillar of salt. Grieving is not about forgetting. Grieving allows us to heal, to remember with love rather than pain. It is a sorting process. One by one you let go of the things that are gone and you mourn
for them. One by one you take hold of the things that have become a part of who you are and build again. ~ Rachel Naomi Remen
"Three things are fundamental to an understanding of mourning. First, each loss launches us on an inescapable course through grief. Second, each loss revives all past losses. Third, each loss, if fully mourned, can be a vehicle for growth and regeneration. ~ Vamik D. Volkan, MD

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You don't become happy by pursuing happiness. You become happy by living a life that means something." ~ Harold S. Kushner
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Realize that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside. Remember that there is no happiness in getting, but only in giving. Reach out. Share. Smile. Hug. Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself." ~ Og Mandino
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Real happiness is so simple that most people do not recognize it. They think it comes from doing something on a big scale, from a big fortune, or from some great achievement, when, in fact, it is derived from the simplest, the quietest, the most unpretentious things in the world.” ~ Orison S. Marden
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Realize that if you want joy in your soul, you will have to choose to bring it there." ~ Joseph J. Mazzella

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The ingredients of happiness are so simple that they can be counted on one hand. First of all, happiness must be shared. Selfishness is its enemy; to make another happy is to be happy one’s self. It is quiet, seldom found for long in crowds, most easily won in moments of solitude and reflection. It comes from within, and rests most securely on simple goodness and clear conscience." ~ William Ogden
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance; the wise grows it under his feet."
~ James Oppenheim
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere." ~ Agnes Repplier

~ John B. Sheerin
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Happiness is a warm puppy." ~ Charles Schulz
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"It is not the level of prosperity that makes for happiness but the kinship of heart to heart and the way we look at the world. Both attitudes are within our power so that a man is happy so long as he chooses to be happy, and no one can stop him."
~ Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls." ~ Mother Teresa

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Healing

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
“To embrace one's brokenness, whatever it looks like, whatever has caused it, carries within it the possibility that one might come to embrace one's healing."
~ Robert Benson
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"When an emotional injury takes place, the body begins a process as natural as the healing of a physical wound. Let the process happen. Trust that nature will do the healing. Know that the pain will pass, and, when it passes, you will be stronger, happier, more sensitive and aware. ~ Mel Colgrove
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The greatest healing therapy is friendship and love." ~ Hubert Humphrey
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Eventually in the process of your self-healing, you will find your own strength. Through the careful hand-holding of your own spirit, through recognizing, honoring, and expressing your feelings, by nurturing your body as the vessel that holds your spirit in the web of life, you will discover that you have, without your consciously knowing it, developed the inner sturdiness from which you can function on your own behalf. This interior growth is a miracle of intimate compassion, a seedling of loving yourself that will bloom, in time, into the capacity for truly loving others." ~ Daphne Rose Kingma
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Healing… is an active and internal process that includes investigating one’s attitudes, memories and beliefs with the desire to release all negative patterns that prevent one’s full emotional and spiritual recovery. This internal review inevitably leads one to review one’s external circumstances in an effort to recreate one’s life in a way that serves activation of will – the will to see and accept truths about one’s life and how one has used one’s energies; and the will to begin to use energy for the creation of love, self-esteem, and health. ~ Caroline Myss
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The human being is a surprisingly resilient organism. We impel toward health,
not sickness. Your spirit, as surely as your body, will try to heal. The question you must ask yourself is not if you will heal, but how. Grief and pain have their own duration, and when they begin to pass, you must take care to guide the shape of the new being you are to become. So you should not fear tragedy and suffering. Like love, they make you more a part of the human family. From them can come your greatest creativity. They are the fire that burns you pure."
~ Kent Nerburn
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
“When you move toward that which is most fulfilling and life-enhancing, healing follows regardless of what your health is like in that moment.” ~ Christiane Northrup
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"When we honestly ask ourselves which persons in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares." ~ Henri Nouwen
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Healing may not be so much about getting better as about letting go of everything that isn't you - all of the expectations, all of the beliefs - and becoming who you are." ~ Rachel Naomi Remen
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Never fear shadows. They simply mean there's a light shining somewhere nearby." ~ Ruth E. Renkel
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The question you need to ask yourself is not if you will heal, but how you will heal." ~ O. Carl Simonton
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"After a stormy period of mixed feelings of prolonged sadness there comes a calm. After we become convinced that we are at the very brink of eternal despair, or fear, or guilt, or sadness, we are given a reprieve. We have a breathing space that eventually leads to whole days that have personal value and offer us the opportunity for affection. Then we recognize that no period of misery is endless and unrelenting; it is instead, changeable. ~ Carol Staudacher
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
“If we face our unpleasant feelings with care, affection, and nonviolence,
we can transform them into a kind of energy that is healthy and has
the capacity to nourish us. By the work of mindful observation,
our unpleasant feelings can illuminate so much for us, offering us
insight and understanding into ourselves and society.” ~ Thich Nhat Hanh
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Recognizing and honouring our feelings is the way we recognize and honour ourselves and the spirit of life within us. But what does it mean to honour our feelings? To honour our feelings is to give such regard to them that we are able to act consciously and creatively in accordance with them to care for and protect ourselves and the spirit of life at our centre.” ~ Unknown
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Mountains cannot be surmounted except by winding paths." ~ Von Goethe
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Feet on ground
heart in hand
facing forward
be yourself.” ~ Jan Arden
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly. ~ Henri Bergson

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Acceptance is the universal currency of real friendship... It does not warp or shape or wrench a person to be anything other than what they are." ~ Joan Chittister
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"to be nobody-but-yourself - in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight, and never stop fighting." ~ e.e. cummings
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Who you really are, your True Nature, is no more tied to the kind of person you've been than the wind is tied to the skies through which it moves. Your past is just that, the past, a place within your psyche with no more reality to it than a picture of a castle on a postcard is made from stone. You have a destination far beyond where you find yourself standing today." ~ Guy Finley
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. To be your own man is a hard business. If you try it, you'll be lonely often, and sometimes frigthened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." ~ Arthur Gordon
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"We will discover the nature of our particular genius when we stop trying to conform to our own or to other peoples' models, learn to be ourselves, and allow our natural channel to open. ~ Shakti Gawain
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"There is a vitality, a life-force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action. And because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium, and be lost. The world will not have it. ~ Martha Graham
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You were born an original. Don't die a copy." ~ John Mason
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Find your true path. It's so easy to become someone we don't want to be, without even realizing it's happening. We are created by the choices we make every day. And if we take action in order to please some authority figure, we'll suddenly wake up down the road and say, 'This isn't me. I never wanted to be this person.'"
~ Bernie Siegel, MD

If you can just hold on long enough to see this through, you'll come out a new person - stronger, with more understanding and with a new pride in yourself from knowing you made it." ~ Kathy Obara

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The deepest expression of spirituality is love." ~ Robert L. Simpson
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"We are not human beings trying to be spiritual. We are spiritual beings trying to be human." ~ Jacquelyn Small
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
“I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world.” ~ Mother Teresa

Trust
"We're never so vulnerable as when we trust someone -- but paradoxically, if we cannot trust, neither can we find love or joy." ~ Walter Anderson
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"At the root of our need to control we find FEAR. It may be fear of the unknown. Fear of not coping. Fear of loss. Or possibly even fear of looking stupid. And as our efforts to control other people and events invariably fail, our fear increases. Trust, on the other hand, is a quality of the soul. While control is a tool of the mind, trust and faith are aspects of the heart. When we trust in life enough to give up our need for control, we can relax and open to the flow of energy in our lives. This brings peace of mind." ~ The Daily Guru
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"It belongs to the very substance of nonviolence never to destroy or damage another person's feeling of self worth, even an opponent's. We all need, constantly, an advance of trust and affirmation." ~ Bernard Haring
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

"People are not separated. They are individuated." ~ Barbara Ann Brennan
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Do not follow the ideas of others, but learn to listen to the voice within yourself. Your body and mind will become clear and you will realize the unity of all things." ~ Zen Master Dogen
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent." ~ John Donne
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"We are part of the whole which we call the universe, but it is an optical delusion of our mind that we think we are separate. This separateness is like a prison for us. Our job is to widen the circle of compassion so we feel connected to all people and all situations." ~ Albert Einstein
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The only real hope of people today... is a renewal of our certainty that we are rooted in Earth and, at the same time, in the cosmos. This awareness endows us with the capacity for self- trans-cendence. Transcendence as a hand reached out close to us, to foreigners, to the human community, to all living creatures, to nature, to the universe; transcendence as a deeply and joyously experienced need to be in harmony even with what we ourselves are not, what we do not understand, what seems distant from us in time and space, but with which we are nevertheless mysteriously linked because, together with us, all this constitutes a single world."
~ Vaclav Havel
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Suppose you stand on a high place to enjoy the beauty of the sparkling sea below. You need do nothing to create that beauty; you need only BE IN THE SAME PLACE WHERE IT IS, and let nature do the rest. So it is with the inner life. There is nothing we can DO to gain psychic beauty. It already exists without our effort. We need only be where we belong, that is, in self-union. Then, beauty IS.”
~ Vernon Howard
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"To love is to know that you live in union with all other creatures in a world that is itself alive and constantly becoming; in short, to live is to know that you exist in a world whose highest harmony is love." ~ Daphne Rose Kingma
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"At the heart of each of us, whatever our imperfections, there exists a silent pulse of perfect rhythm, a complex of wave forms and resonances which is absolutely individual and unique, and yet which connects us to everyrthing in the universe."
~ George Leonard
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You can't tell when this will happen. Usually we act as if we are autonomous, independent beings. But occasionally - at a waterfall, on a walk, hugging someone we love - we glimpse a trace of infinity. Something inside us remembers the oneness. ~ Daniel C. Matt
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The fundamental delusion of humanity is to suppose that I am here and you are there. ~ Yasutani Roshi
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The clear bead at the centre changes everything
There are no edges to my loving now
I've heard it said there's a window that opens from one mind to another
But if there's no wall, there's no need for fitting the window, or the latch. ~ Rumi
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Each small task of everyday is part of the total harmony of the universe."
~ St. Theresa of Lisieux
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect." ~ Chief Seattle

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Wisdom is nothing but a preparation of the soul, a capacity, a secret art of thinking, feeling and breathing thoughts of unity at every moment of life." ~ Hermann Hesse
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Wisdom is the understanding of enduring values and the living of those values."
~ J. Krishnamurti
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"We don't receive wisdom; we must discover it for ourselves after a journey that no one can take for us or spare us. ~ Marcel Proust
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Kindness is more important than wisdom, and the recognition of this is the beginning of wisdom." ~ Theodore Isaac Rubin
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
"We should never be ashamed to own we have been in the wrong, which is but saying in other words, that we are wiser today than we were yesterday." ~ Jonathan Swift
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Until we stop ourselves or, more often, have been stopped, we hope to put certain of life's events "behind us" and get on with our living. After we stop we see that certain of life's issues will be with us for as long as we live. We will pass through them again and again, each time with a new story, each time with a greater understanding, until they become indistinguishable from our blessings and our wisdom. It's the way li
fe teaches us to live." ~ Rachel Naomi Remen

Gratitude
“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion to clarity.

"Grief is a journey, often perilous and without clear direction, that must be taken. The experience of grieving cannot be ordered or categorized, hurried or controlled, pushed aside or ignored indefinitely. It is inevitable as breathing, as change, as love. It may be postponed, but it will not be denied. ~ Molly Fumia
"When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and in truth you shall see that you are weeping for that which has been your delight. ~ Kahlil Gibran
"Sorrow comes to all... Perfect relief is not possible, except with time. You cannot now realize that you will ever feel better... and yet... you are sure to be happy again." ~ Abraham Lincoln
"When our spirit tells us it is time to weep, we should weep. It is part of the ritual, if you will, of putting sadness in perspective and gaining control of the situation. . . . Grief has a purpose. Grieving does not mean you are weak It is the first step toward regaining balance and strength. Grieving is part of the tempering process.
~ Joseph M. Marshall III
"To find a safe journey through grief to growth does not mean one should forget the past. It means that on the journey we will need safe pathways so that remembrance, which may be painful, is possible. ~ Donna O'Toole
"Every great loss demands that we choose life again. We need to grieve in order to do this. The pain we have not grieved over will always stand between us and life. When we don't grieve, a part of us becomes caught in the past like Lot's wife who,
because she looked back, was turned into a pillar of salt. Grieving is not about forgetting. Grieving allows us to heal, to remember with love rather than pain. It is a sorting process. One by one you let go of the things that are gone and you mourn
for them. One by one you take hold of the things that have become a part of who you are and build again. ~ Rachel Naomi Remen
"Three things are fundamental to an understanding of mourning. First, each loss launches us on an inescapable course through grief. Second, each loss revives all past losses. Third, each loss, if fully mourned, can be a vehicle for growth and regeneration. ~ Vamik D. Volkan, MD

"You don't become happy by pursuing happiness. You become happy by living a life that means something." ~ Harold S. Kushner
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself." ~ Og Mandino
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Real happiness is so simple that most people do not recognize it.

Marden
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Realize that if you want joy in your soul, you will have to choose to bring it there." ~ Joseph J. Mazzella

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The ingredients of happiness are so simple that they can be counted on one hand. First of all, happiness must be shared. Selfishness is its enemy; to make another happy is to be happy one’s self. It is quiet, seldom found for long in crowds, most easily won in moments of solitude and reflection. It comes from within, and rests most securely on simple goodness and clear conscience." ~ William Ogden
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance; the wise grows it under his feet."
~ James Oppenheim
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere." ~ Agnes Repplier

~ John B. Sheerin
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Happiness is a warm puppy." ~ Charles Schulz
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"It is not the level of prosperity that makes for happiness but the kinship of heart to heart and the way we look at the world. Both attitudes are within our power so that a man is happy so long as he chooses to be happy, and no one can stop him."
~ Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls." ~ Mother Teresa
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour." ~ Unknown

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Healing
"Seek healing, a refilling of energy and spirit, as soon as you see that you need it. You don't have to push yourself to give, do, or perform when what your body, mind, soul and emotions need is to heal. ~ Melody Beattie
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
“To embrace one's brokenness, whatever it looks like, whatever has caused it, carries within it the possibility that one might come to embrace one's healing."
~ Robert Benson
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"When an emotional injury takes place, the body begins a process as natural as the healing of a physical wound. Let the process happen. Trust that nature will do the healing. Know that the pain will pass, and, when it passes, you will be stronger, happier, more sensitive and aware. ~ Mel Colgrove
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The greatest healing therapy is friendship and love." ~ Hubert Humphrey
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Eventually in the process of your self-healing, you will find your own strength. Through the careful hand-holding of your own spirit, through recognizing, honoring, and expressing your feelings, by nurturing your body as the vessel that holds your spirit in the web of life, you will discover that you have, without your consciously knowing it, developed the inner sturdiness from which you can function on your own behalf. This interior growth is a miracle of intimate compassion, a seedling of loving yourself that will bloom, in time, into the capacity for truly loving others." ~ Daphne Rose Kingma
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Healing… is an active and internal process that includes investigating one’s attitudes, memories and beliefs with the desire to release all negative patterns that prevent one’s full emotional and spiritual recovery. This internal review inevitably leads one to review one’s external circumstances in an effort to recreate one’s life in a way that serves activation of will – the will to see and accept truths about one’s life and how one has used one’s energies; and the will to begin to use energy for the creation of love, self-esteem, and health. ~ Caroline Myss
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The human being is a surprisingly resilient organism. We impel toward health,
not sickness. Your spirit, as surely as your body, will try to heal. The question you must ask yourself is not if you will heal, but how. Grief and pain have their own duration, and when they begin to pass, you must take care to guide the shape of the new being you are to become. So you should not fear tragedy and suffering. Like love, they make you more a part of the human family. From them can come your greatest creativity. They are the fire that burns you pure."
~ Kent Nerburn
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
“When you move toward that which is most fulfilling and life-enhancing, healing follows regardless of what your health is like in that moment.” ~ Christiane Northrup
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"When we honestly ask ourselves which persons in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares." ~ Henri Nouwen
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Healing may not be so much about getting better as about letting go of everything that isn't you - all of the expectations, all of the beliefs - and becoming who you are." ~ Rachel Naomi Remen
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Never fear shadows. They simply mean there's a light shining somewhere nearby." ~ Ruth E. Renkel
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The question you need to ask yourself is not if you will heal, but how you will heal." ~ O. Carl Simonton
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"After a stormy period of mixed feelings of prolonged sadness there comes a calm. After we become convinced that we are at the very brink of eternal despair, or fear, or guilt, or sadness, we are given a reprieve. We have a breathing space that eventually leads to whole days that have personal value and offer us the opportunity for affection. Then we recognize that no period of misery is endless and unrelenting; it is instead, changeable. ~ Carol Staudacher
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
“If we face our unpleasant feelings with care, affection, and nonviolence,
we can transform them into a kind of energy that is healthy and has
the capacity to nourish us. By the work of mindful observation,
our unpleasant feelings can illuminate so much for us, offering us
insight and understanding into ourselves and society.” ~ Thich Nhat Hanh
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Recognizing and honouring our feelings is the way we recognize and honour ourselves and the spirit of life within us. But what does it mean to honour our feelings? To honour our feelings is to give such regard to them that we are able to act consciously and creatively in accordance with them to care for and protect ourselves and the spirit of life at our centre.” ~ Unknown
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Mountains cannot be surmounted except by winding paths." ~ Von Goethe
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Individuality
“Who we are never changes. Who we think we are does.” ~ Mary Almanac
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Feet on ground
heart in hand
facing forward
be yourself.” ~ Jan Arden
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Going home means getting comfortable being who you are and who your soul really wants to be. There is no strain with that. The strain and tension come when we're not being who our soul wants to be and we're someplace where our soul doesn't feel at home." ~ Melody Beattie
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly. ~ Henri Bergson
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The easiest thing in the world to be is you. The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be. Don't let them put you in that position." ~ Leo Buscaglia
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are.” ~ Joseph Campbell
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Every human being is intended to have a character of his own; to be what no other is, and to do what no other can do." ~ William Channing
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Who you really are, your True Nature, is no more tied to the kind of person you've been than the wind is tied to the skies through which it moves.

You have a destination far beyond where you find yourself standing today." ~ Guy Finley
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

And if we take action in order to please some authority figure, we'll suddenly wake up down the road and say, 'This isn't me. I never wanted to be this person.'"

Responsibility

Trust
"We're never so vulnerable as when we trust someone -- but paradoxically, if we cannot trust, neither can we find love or joy." ~ Walter Anderson
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"At the root of our need to control we find FEAR. It may be fear of the unknown. Fear of not coping. Fear of loss. Or possibly even fear of looking stupid. And as our efforts to control other people and events invariably fail, our fear increases. Trust, on the other hand, is a quality of the soul. While control is a tool of the mind, trust and faith are aspects of the heart. When we trust in life enough to give up our need for control, we can relax and open to the flow of energy in our lives. This brings peace of mind." ~ The Daily Guru
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The only real hope of people today... is a renewal of our certainty that we are rooted in Earth and, at the same time, in the cosmos. This awareness endows us with the capacity for self- trans-cendence. Transcendence as a hand reached out close to us, to foreigners, to the human community, to all living creatures, to nature, to the universe; transcendence as a deeply and joyously experienced need to be in harmony even with what we ourselves are not, what we do not understand, what seems distant from us in time and space, but with which we are nevertheless mysteriously linked because, together with us, all this constitutes a single world."
~ Vaclav Havel
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Suppose you stand on a high place to enjoy the beauty of the sparkling sea below. You need do nothing to create that beauty; you need only BE IN THE SAME PLACE WHERE IT IS, and let nature do the rest. So it is with the inner life. There is nothing we can DO to gain psychic beauty. It already exists without our effort. We need only be where we belong, that is, in self-union. Then, beauty IS.”
~ Vernon Howard
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You can't tell when this will happen. Usually we act as if we are autonomous, independent beings. But occasionally - at a waterfall, on a walk, hugging someone we love - we glimpse a trace of infinity. Something inside us remembers the oneness. ~ Daniel C. Matt
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The fundamental delusion of humanity is to suppose that I am here and you are there. ~ Yasutani Roshi
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The clear bead at the centre changes everything
There are no edges to my loving now
I've heard it said there's a window that opens from one mind to another
But if there's no wall, there's no need for fitting the window, or the latch. ~ Rumi

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Kindness is more important than wisdom, and the recognition of this is the beginning of wisdom." ~ Theodore Isaac Rubin
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
"We should never be ashamed to own we have been in the wrong, which is but saying in other words, that we are wiser today than we were yesterday." ~ Jonathan Swift
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Until we stop ourselves or, more often, have been stopped, we hope to put certain of life's events "behind us" and get on with our living. After we stop we see that certain of life's issues will be with us for as long as we live. We will pass through them again and again, each time with a new story, each time with a greater understanding, until they become indistinguishable from our blessings and our wisdom. It's the way li
fe teaches us to live." ~ Rachel Naomi Remen Kata kata motivasi diatas semoga bermanfaat untuk anda semua, dimana kami akan memberikan berita dan informasi lainnya untuk anda seperti Puisi Chairil Anwar, dan masih banyak lagi yang lainnya.
