LIVE YOUR OWN LIFE "We don't always know what makes us happy." "We know,
instead, what we think SHOULD. We are baffled and confused when our attempts
at happiness fail...We are mute when it comes to naming accurately our own
preferences, delights, gifts, talents. The voice of our original self is
often muffled, overwhelmed, even strangled, by the voices of other people's
expectations. The tongue of the original self is the language of the heart."
- Julie Cameron
Even if you could live to be 100, it's really a very short time. So why not
spend it undergoing this process of evolution, of opening your mind and
heart, connecting with your true nature - rather than getting better and
better at fixing, grasping, freezing, and closing down.
We are each unique beings with a unique path in life. If we wish to be
fulfilled, we need to go to our own hearts for direction.

Your mind can only hold one thought at a time make it a positive and

hear it everywhere - books, sermons, television shows, conversations with
friends.
Focus on the positive in your life, for what you focus on increases.

Ignorance breeds fear. Fear breeds hate. Hate breeds violence.

didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away
from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sail. Explore. Dream.
Discover." Mark Twain
Peace, joy, health and well-being can only be found inside us. They exist
within us now, waiting to be discovered. Yet we tend to look to the outside
world to satisfy our needs and longings.

Our outer life reflects back to us the way we think, feel and behave. The
outer world is all effects. Go to the source inside for all of life's
treasures.

becoming his equal. When you encounter someone lesser than you, look within
and examine your own self.
Your behavior while people are watching is important. However, your behavior
while no one is watching is more important, for it reveals your true
character.
Humans cannot create matter. We can, however, create value. Creating value
is in fact, our very humanity. When we praise people for their strength of
character we are actually acknowledging their ability to create value.
Dream more of becoming than of obtaining.
To a great extent, the people with whom you choose to associate influence
the direction of your life.
Align your personality and soul purpose and experience more synchronicity,
fulfillment and happiness. It is never too late to become the person you
were meant to be.

"People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered; forgive them
anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives:
Be kind anyway. What you spend years creating others could destroy
overnight: Create anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, some may be
jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do
good anyway. Give the best you have, and it may never be enough: Give your
best anyway. In the final analysis, it is between you and God: it was never
between you and them anyway." - Mother Teresa

consciousness, and if we want a new world, each of us must start taking

health.
That which you resist will persist.
A smile increases your face value.

trouble.

Alfred Adler

little of each other everywhere.
"Things don't have to change the world to be important."- Steve Jobs
Strangers are just friends waiting to happen.
Dont walk in front of me I may not follow. Dont walk behind me I may not
lead. Walk beside me and be my friend.

If we truly realized how precious the "Gift" of life is, we would not waste
a moment trying to improve it. If we really understood how precious we are
to the "Gift" of life we would not waste time trying to fix ourselves.
Our one choice: All men and women are born, live, suffer and die; what
distinguishes us one from another is our dreams. Weather they be dreams
about worldly or unworldly things, and what we do to make them come about.
Do not wish to be anything but what you are and to be that perfectly.
When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life so that
when you die, the world cries and you rejoice.
If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each
other.
"Even if you're on the right track you'll get run over if you just sit
there."- Will Rogers
The best way to destroy an enemy is to make him a friend.
While you are proclaiming peace with your lips, be careful to have it even
more fully in your heart.
There is no way to peace. Peace is the way.
You must be the change you wish to see in the world.
It is not how much you have that makes people look up to you, its who you
are.
To be wronged is nothing unless you continue to remember it.
It is not what you gather but what you scatter that tells what kind of life
you have lived.
People may fail many times, but they become failures only when they begin to
blame someone else.
The only way to find the limits of the possible is by going beyond them to
the impossible.

caught up.
Angels have no boundaries but are willing to respect yours.
Enlightenment is not achieved by repeating the word "God" but by directly
experiencing God.
We can not take credit for our talents. Its how we use them that counts.

Everywhere, truly those of integrity stand apart. They the good dont
chatter in hopes of favor or gains. When touched by pleasure or by pain the
wise give no sign of highs or lows.
Recognize that you have the courage within you to fulfill the purpose of
your birth. Summon forth the power of your inner courage and live the life
of your dreams.
First I gave up action. Then idle words, and lastly thought itself. Now I am
here.
Often we need to wait for things to unfold gloriously and to take time to
listen to the angels. Good things come to those who wait to accept them with
a grateful heart.
Although there are countless teachings that instruct how to obtain
enlightenment in a future life, almost all of them are nothing more than
expedients, as the ultimate instruction there is simply no teaching that is
superior to the true practice of the awakening to ones own nature.
