Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our Light, not our Darkness, that most frighten us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God. Your playing small
does not serve the World.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that
other peolpe will not feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God
that is within us.
It is not just in some of us;
it is in every one.
As we let our own Light shine, we unconsciously
give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.
Nelson Mandela
Whatever You Vividly Imagine
Ardently Desire
Sincerely Belive In
And Diligently Pursue
Shall Inevitably Come To Pass.
"If you can't answer a man's arguments all is not lost:
you can still call him vile names.
Hubbard
Do not feel personally, irrevocably, entirely responsible for everything today.
That is my job.

Courage does not always follow rutted pathways.
The Road Not Taken
Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear
Though as for that passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I ever should come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads divereged in a wood, and I -
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
Work While you work,
Play while you play;
One thing each time,
That is the way.
All that you do,
Do with your might;
Things done by halves
Are not done right.
Will
There is no chance, no destiny, no fate,
Can circumvent or hinder or controll
The firm resolve of the detirmined soul.
Gifts count for nothing; will alone is great;
All things give way before it, soon or late.
What obstical can stay the mighty force
Of the sea-seej=king river on it's course,
Or cause the ascending orb of day to wait?
Each well-born soul must win what it deserves.
Let the fool prate of luck. The fortunate
is he whose earnest purpose never swerves,
Whose slightest action or inaction serves
The one great aim. Why even Death stands still ,
And waits an hour sometimes for such a will.

We live in a modern society that loves short cut techniques. Yet quality of life cannot be achieved by taking the right shortcut. There is no short cut. But there is a path. The path is based on principles revered throughout history. If there is one message to learn from this wisdom it is that meaningful life is not a matter of speed or efficiency. It is much more a matter of what you do and why you do it than how fast you get it done.
Stephen R. Covey
There is no substitute for that wich is earned.
T.S.C.
Listen....something is trying to tell you something
You have at your disposal a foolproof guidance system
to navigate you through life. This system, which consists
solely of your own feelings, lets you know when you are off
track and headed toward unhappiness and conflict - or on
track headed toward peace of mind. Your feelings act a
barometer, letting you know what your internal weather is like.
When you are not caught up in your thinking, taking things too
seriously, your feelings will be generally positive. They will
be affirming that you are using your thinking to your advantage.
No mental adjustments need to be made.
When your experience of life is other than pleasant, - when you
are feeling angry, resentful, depressed, stressed out, frustrated,
and so forth, your warning system kicks in like a red flag to
remind you that you are off track, that it is time to ease up
on your thinking, you've lost perspective. Mental adjustment
does need to be made. You can think of your negative feelings
in the same way you think of the warning lights on the dashboard
of your car. When flashing, they let you know that it is time
to ease up.
Contrary to popular belief, negative feelings don't always need
to be studied and analyzed. When you analyze your negative
feelings, you will often times end up with more to contend with.
(Note the difference between surmountable challenge and endless
cycle).
The next time you are feeling bad rather than getting stuck in
"analysis paralysis wondering why you feel the way you do, see
if instead you can use your feelings to guide you back in the
direction toward serenity. Don't sweat the small stuff.
Don't Sweat the Small Stuff....and it's all small stuff
Richard Carlson, PH.D.
Because we live in an environment inundated by human doing more than human being it is easy to get caught up in imbalance to the point that it no longer reflects your principles.
Stephen R. Covey
As humans we've got to belive in something. Those are our principles. As a race of people living together we must not ever collectively or individually leave our principles out of our actions, or our goals.
T.S.C.
When trying to be helpful, focus on the little things.
We cannot do great things on this earth.
We can do only little things with great love.
Mother Teresa
Helping one in need with their problems will help keep our own problems in perspective.
