12/31/2007
Thousands of candles can be lighted from
a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be
shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.
- Buddha
12/28/2007 Resentment is one burden that is incompatible with your success.
Always be the first to forgive; and forgive yourself first always.
12/27/2007 A man's reach should exceed his grasp, 12/26/2007 The creation of something new is not accomplished by the
intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The
creative mind plays with the objects it loves. 12/25/2007 Contentment is the greatest wealth. 12/24/2007 In the experience of finding the Father in heaven you discover
that all men are your brothers... To become acquainted with one's
brothers and sisters, to know their problems and to learn to love
them, is the supreme experience of living. 12/21/2007 An optimist is the human personification of spring. - Susan J. Bissonette 12/20/2007 The essence of optimism is that it takes no account of the present, but it is a source of inspiration, of vitality and hope where others have resigned; it enables a man to hold his head high, to claim the future for himself and not to abandon it to his enemy. - Dietrich Bonhoeffer 12/19/2007 Be as upbeat as you can be. The basic success orientation is having an optimistic attitude. - John DePasquale 12/18/2007 "...while you are seeking to find God, God is likewise seeking to
find you." 12/17/2007 Challenge is the core and the mainspring of all human activity.
If there's an ocean, we cross it; if there's a disease, we cure it;
if there's a wrong, we right it; if there's a record, we break it;
and finally, if there's a mountain, we climb it. 12/14/2007 He who sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness
gathers love. 12/13/2007 From what we get, we can make a living; what we give, however,
makes a life. 12/12/2007 Fair and softly goes far. 12/11/2007 Everybody can be great... because anybody can serve. You don't
have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your
subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of
grace. A soul generated by love. 12/10/2007 Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I
would still plant my apple tree. 12/07/2007 Unless your heart, your soul, and your whole being are behind
every decision you make, the words from your mouth will be empty,
and each action will be meaningless. Truth and confidence are the
roots of happiness. 12/06/2007 Be willing to be a beginner every single morning. 12/05/2007 "I can forgive, but I cannot forget" is only another way of
saying, "I will not forgive." Forgiveness ought to be like a
canceled note - torn in two and burned up so that it never can be
shown against one. 12/04/2007 God makes direct contact with mortal man and gives a part of his
infinite and eternal and incomprehensible self to live and dwell
within him. 12/03/2007 In order to live free and happily you must sacrifice boredom. It
is not always an easy sacrifice. 11/30/2007 Teach me to feel another's woe, 11/29/2007 Only in silence the word, 11/28/2007 True humility is contentment. 11/27/2007 You've achieved success in your field when you don't know whether
what you are doing is work or play. 11/26/2007 Clinging to the past is the problem. Embracing change is the
answer. 11/23/2007 Are you bored with life? Then throw yourself into some work you
believe in with all your heart, live for it, die for it, and you
will find happiness that you had thought could never be yours. 11/22/2007 Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time; for that's the
stuff life is made of. 11/21/2007 Always be a little kinder than necessary. 11/20/2007 The quest for certainty blocks the search for meaning.
Uncertainty is the very condition to impel man to unfold his powers. 11/19/2007 Laughter has no foreign accent. 11/16/2007 "I think I'll learn more by listening. Anything I would say I
already know." [Explanation given by a pupil for not joining in
discussion] 11/15/2007 A man should never be ashamed to own he has been in the wrong,
which is but saying, in other words, that he is wiser today than he
was yesterday. 11/14/2007 For one human being to love another: that is perhaps the most
difficult of all tasks, and the ultimate, the last test and proof,
the work for which all other work is but preparation. 11/13/2007 There's more to life than increasing its speed. 11/12/2007 To be truly cultivated is to think reasonably, to live grandly,
to love greatly, to shun pettiness, to condemn prejudice and
cruelty. In short, to be cultivated is to be alive in the very
largest sense. 11/9/2007 Without meditation, where is peace? 11/8/2007 The things that matter most must never be at the mercy of the
things that matter least. 11/7/2007 Light tomorrow with today! 11/6/2007 Make it a rule of life never to regret and never to look back. Regret is an appalling waste of energy, you can't build on it; it's only good for wallowing in. - Katherine Mansfield 11/5/2007 This time, like all times, is a very good one if we but know what
to do with it. 11/2/2007 Iron rusts from disuse, stagnant water loses its purity and in
cold weather becomes frozen; so does inaction sap the vigors of the
mind. 11/1/2007 There is but one failure, and that is not to be true to the very
best one knows. 10/31/2007 Anyone can be polite to a king, but it takes a civilized person
to be polite to a beggar. 10/30/2007 God's forgiveness is made actually available and is personally
experienced by man just in so far as he forgives his fellows. 10/29/2007 Poor is not the person who has too little, but the person who
craves more. 10/26/2007 The truth you believe and cling to makes you unavailable to hear
anything new. 10/25/2007 Strengthen yourself with contentment, for it is an impregnable
fortress. 10/24/2007 You are what you are when nobody is looking. 10/23/2007 Your daily life is your temple and your religion. Whenever you
enter into it, take with you your all. 10/22/2007 If you don't like someone, the way he holds his spoon will make
you furious; if you do like him, he can turn his plate over into
your lap and you won't mind. 10/19/2007 Shake off this sadness, and recover your spirit; sluggish you
will never see the wheel of fate that brushes your heel as it turns
going by, the man who wants to live is the man in whom life is
abundant. 10/18/2007 It is bad manners to say "Your are welcome to your own opinion";
but it is perfection of good fellowship to really mean it. 10/17/2007 The person who lives life fully, glowing with life's energy, is
the person who lives a successful life. 10/16/2007 It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare; it is
because we do not dare that they are difficult. 10/15/2007 You are never fully dressed until you wear a smile! 10/12/2007 Never does a person describe his own character more clearly than
by his way of describing that of others. 10/11/2007 Zen is like looking for the spectacles that are sitting on your
nose. 10/10/2007 Believe it can be done. When you believe something can be done, really believe, your mind will find the ways to do it. Believing a solution paves the way to solution. - Dr. David Schwartz Author of "The Magic of Thinking Big" 10/09/2007 Everyone has a photographic memory. Some don't have film. 10/08/2007 The young do not know enough to be prudent, and therefore they
attempt the impossible -- and achieve it, generation after
generation. 10/05/2007 Your children are not your children. 10/04/2007 The majority of impoverished souls are truly rich, but they refuse to believe it. - The Urantia Book 10/03/2007 The whole marvelous and universal mechanism moves on majestically
through space to the music of the meter of the infinite thought and
the eternal purpose of the First Great Source and Center. 10/02/2007 How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before
starting to improve the world. 10/01/2007 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 frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be
brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you
not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve
the world. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is
within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And 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. 09/28/2007 Perfection consists not in doing extraordinary things, but in
doing ordinary things extraordinary well. Neglect nothing; the most
trivial action may be performed to God. 09/27/2007 Don't compromise yourself. You are all you've got. 09/26/2007 The service we render others is really the rent we pay for our
room on earth. 09/25/2007 To be alive, to be able to see, to walk, to have houses, music,
paintings - it's all a miracle. I have adopted the technique of
living life from miracle to miracle. 09/24/2007 The cost of a thing is the amount of what I will call life which
is required to be exchanged for it, immediately or in the long run.
09/21/2007 The onset of decline begins with the loss of the will to
challenge oneself.
You are here for a purpose. There is not a duplicate of you in
the whole wide world: there never has been, there never will be, You
were brought here now to fill a certain need. Take time to think
that over. 09/19/2007 Our thoughts create our reality. How do you typically think about
yourself? Do you berate yourself for being stupid, sloppy, forgetful
or insensitive? Do you watch yourself with interest, respect and
compassion? Stay alert to your self-talk and let go of judgments
that don't serve you. 09/18/2007 The highest potential of God's love and power is available to us
in 09/17/2007 Whenever conscience speaks with a divided, uncertain, and
disputed voice, it is not the voice of God. Descend still deeper
into yourself, until you hear nothing but a clear, undivided voice,
a voice which does away with doubt and brings with it persuasion,
light, and serenity. 09/14/2007 People are lonely because they build walls instead of bridges.
09/13/2007 Millions of people, unseeing, joyless, bluster through life in
their half sleep, hitting, kicking, and killing what they have
barely perceived. They have never learned to see or they have
forgotten that man has eyes to see, to experience. 09/12/2007 I embrace emerging experience. I participate in discovery. I am a
butterfly. I am not a butterfly collector. 09/11/2007 If you don't change your beliefs, your life will be like
this forever. Is that good news? 09/10/2007 Your life work is a statement of Who You Are. If it is not, then
why are you doing it? 09/07/2007 This is the final test of a gentleman: his respect for those who
can be of no possible value to him. 09/06/2007 Whereof one cannot speak, thereon one must remain silent. 09/05/2007 Soon silence will have passed into legend. Man has turned his
back on silence. Day after day he invents machines and devices that
increase noise and distract humanity from the essence of life,
contemplation, meditation. Tooting, howling, screeching, booming,
crashing, whistling, grinding, and trilling bolster his ego. 09/04/2007 The first problem for all of us, men and women, is not to learn,
but to unlearn. 09/03/2007 The more you listen to the voice within you, the better you will
hear what is sounding outside. 08/31/2007 Freedom lies in being bold. 08/30/2007 I have always found that mercy bears richer fruits than strict justice. - Abraham Lincoln 08/29/2007 Humility is attentive patience. - Simone Weil 08/28/2007 Be an explorer ... read, surf the internet, visit customers,
enjoy arts, watch children play ... do anything to prevent yourself
from becoming a prisoner of your knowledge, experience, and current
view of the world.
We worry about what a child will become tomorrow, yet we forget
that he is someone today. 08/24/2007 Giving is a joy if we do it in the right spirit. It all depends
on whether we think of it as "What can I spare? " or as "What can I
share? " 08/23/2007 Live in a way that is full of life… for yourself, for your loved
ones, for your friends. People who do so will find the courage to
transform sufferings into hopes. Not only that, but they will be
able to light the lamp of hope in the hearts of many others, as
well. 08/22/2007 Those who base their lives on the belief that a loving God is
acting in their behalf tend to see problems as opportunities for
growth. 08/21/2007 It is difficult to say what is impossible, for the dream of
yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow. 08/20/2007 Happiness is a butterfly, which, when pursued, is always just
beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may
alight upon you. 08/17/2007 They can because they think they can. 08/16/2007 When asked where God is, people point towards the sky or some far
and distant region; no wonder that He does not manifest Himself!
Realize that He is in you, with you, behind you, and all around you;
and He can be seen and felt everywhere. 08/15/2007 The memory of God comes to the quiet mind. It cannot come where
there is conflict; for a mind at war against itself remembers not
eternal gentleness… 08/14/2007 If you could read the secret history of our enemies, we should
find in each man’s life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all
hostility. 08/13/2007 I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of
His creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own – a God, in
short, who but is a reflection of human frailty. 08/10/2007 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. 08/9/2007 Things don't go wrong and break your heart so you can become
bitter and give up. They happen to break you down and build you up
so you can be all that you were intended to be. 08/8/2007 Habit rules the unreflecting herd. - William Wordsworth 08/7/2007 You are a primary existence. You are a distinct portion of the
essence of God, and contain a certain part of Him in yourself. Why
then are you ignorant of your noble birth? You carry a God about
within you, poor wretch, and know nothing of it. 08/6/2007 A sense of separation from God is the only lack you really need
correct. 08/3/2007 Once you experience the power of not having to be right
you’ll feel like you’re walking across open fields, the perspective
wide and your feet free to take any turn. 08/2/2007 Having to be right shackles your mind. What is right not who is
right….People are culturally conditioned to have to be right. 08/1/2007 Your only obligation in any lifetime is to be true to yourself. 07/31/2007 Nothing is worth more than this day. 07/30/2007 Everything depends on what is in our hearts. If we decide to
ourselves that something is impossible, then, consistent with our
minds in thinking so, even something that is possible for us will
become impossible. On the other hand, if we have the confidence that
we can definitely do something, then we are already one step closer
to achieving it in reality. 07/27/2007 Nothing is so strong as gentleness. Nothing is so gentle as real
strength. 07/26/2007 The way to reduce the pain which you associate with earthly
experiences and events - both yours and those of others - is to
change the way you behold them. You cannot change the outer event,
so you must change the inner experience. 07/25/2007 A man may fulfill the object of his existence by asking a
question he cannot answer, and attempting a task he cannot achieve. Suffering has nothing to do with events, but with one's reaction
to them. What's happening is merely what's happening. How you feel
about it is another matter. 07/23/2007 Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events,
have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which
it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have
just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it. 07/20/2007 No matter how wonderful our dreams, how noble our ideals, or how
high our hopes, ultimately we need courage to make them a reality.
Without action, it's as if they never existed. 07/19/2007 It is easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to
them. 07/18/2007 People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a
miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water
or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a
miracle which we don't even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds,
green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child -- our own two
eyes. All is a miracle. 07/17/2007 A sobering thought: what if, at this very moment, I am living up
to my full potential? 07/16/2007 Thoughts rooted in fear will produce one kind of manifestation on
the physical plane, thoughts rooted in love will produce another.
The masters are those who have chosen only love. In every instant.
In every moment. In every circumstance. 07/13/2007 The measure of a man sir, is not in money, position, station or
possessions. These things mean nothing. The measure of a man is in
his character, wisdom, ability, aliveness, intimacy, creativity,
courage, fearlessness, perspective, independence and maturity. 07/12/2007 Originality is simply a pair of fresh eyes. 07/11/2007 The world is your playground. Why aren't you playing?
For most of us, there's always a long 'to do' list. That's a
fact. 07/09/2007 Quiet minds can't be perplexed or frightened, but go on in
fortune or misfortune at their own private pace, like a clock during
a thunderstorm. 07/06/2007 Above all, challenge yourself. You may well surprise yourself at
what strengths you have, what you can accomplish. 07/05/2007 Look to the future with curiosity as a replacement for fear. - Teacher Michael 07/04/2007 But what is happiness except the simple harmony between a man and the life he leads? - Albert Camus 07/03/2007 When you come right down to it, the secret of having it all, is loving it all. - Dr. Joyce Brothers 07/02/2007 Live the questions now. Perhaps, then, someday far into the
future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way
into the answer. 06/29/2007 Keep your mind open to change all the time. Welcome it. Court it. It is only by examining and reexamining your opinions and ideas that you can progress. - Dale Carnegie 06/28/2007 Sit just to sit. And why not sit? You have to sit sometime, and
so you may as well really sit, and be altogether here. Otherwise the
mind wanders away from the matter at hand, and away from the
present. Even to think through the implications of the present is to
avoid the present moment completely. 06/27/2007 The aphorism, "As a man thinketh in his heart, so he is,"
embraces the whole of man's being. It is so comprehensive that it
reaches out to every condition and circumstance of life. A man is
literally what he thinks. His character is the sum of his thoughts. 06/26/2007 Man is so made that whenever anything fires his soul,
impossibilities vanish. 06/25/2007 When we are aware that each moment of each day, each
gesture and step we take is truly mystical and full of wonder, we will
live our lives with greater thought and care. We will also have greater
respect and appreciation for the lives of others. 06/22/2007 You are what your deep driving desire is. As your desire is, so
is your will. As your will is, so is your deed. As your deed, so is
your destiny. 06/21/2007 Peace is not something you must hope for in the future. Rather,
it is a deepening of the present, and unless you look for it in the
present you will never find it. 06/20/2007 My Father taught me how to be a man - and not by instilling in me a sense of machismo or an agenda of dominance. He taught me that a real man doesn't take, he gives; he doesn't use force, he uses logic; doesn't play the role of trouble-maker, but rather, trouble-shooter; and most importantly, a real man is defined by what's in his heart, not his pants.- Kevin Smith 06/19/2007 There is a thinking stuff from
which all things are made, and which, in its original state,
permeates, penetrates, and fills the interspaces of the universe. 06/18/2007 What God wants is that you should
make the most of yourself, for yourself, and for others; and you can
help others more by making the most of yourself than in any other
way. 06/15/2007 To think health when surrounded
by the appearances of disease, or to think riches when in the midst
of appearances of poverty, requires power; but he who acquires this
power becomes a Master Mind. He can conquer fate; he can have what
he wants. 06/14/2007 The universe is a great Living
Presence, always moving inherently toward more life and fuller
functioning. 06/13/2007 No man is poor because nature is
poor, or because there is not enough to go around. 06/12/2007 Everything you see on earth is
made from one original substance, out of which all things proceed. 06/11/2007 The visible supply is practically
inexhaustible; and the invisible supply really IS inexhaustible. 06/08/2007 There is abundance of opportunity
for the man who will go with the tide, instead of trying to swim
against it. 06/07/2007 The purpose of Nature is the
advancement and unfoldment of life; and every man should have all
that can contribute to the power; elegance, beauty, and richness of
life. 06/06/2007 Whatever may be said in praise of poverty, the
fact remains that it is not possible to live a really complete or
successful life unless one is rich. 06/05/2007 Not he who has much is rich, but he who gives much. - Erich Fromm 06/04/2007 Happiness doesn't exist on the
far side of distant mountains. It is within you, yourself. Not you,
however, sitting in idle passivity. It is to be found in the vibrant
dynamism of your own life as you struggle to challenge and overcome
one obstacle after another, as you clamber up a perilous ridge in
pursuit of that which lies beyond. 06/01/2007 Discovery consists in seeing what
everybody has seen and thinking what nobody has thought. 05/31/2007 The master in the art of living
makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor
and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his
recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is
which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he
does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To
him he's always doing both. 05/30/2007 Life appears to me too short to
be spent in nursing animosity or registering wrongs. 05/29/2007 There are two kinds of people in
the world: those who come into a room and say, "Here I am!" and
those who come in and say, "Ah, there you are!" 05/28/2007 Freedom of speech and freedom of action are meaningless without
freedom to think. And there is no freedom of thought without doubt. 05/25/2007 Sometimes I think we're alone in
the universe, and sometimes I think we're not. In either case, the
idea is quite staggering. 05/24/2007 Freedom doesn't mean the absence
of all restrictions. It means possessing unshakable conviction in
the face of any obstacle. This is true freedom. 05/23/2007 We find comfort among those who
agree with us - growth among those who don't. 05/22/2007 Great Spirit, grant that I may
not criticize my neighbor until I have walked a mile in his
moccasins. 05/21/2007 Dying is no accomplishment; we
all do that. Living is the thing. 05/18/2007 As long as habit and routine
dictate the pattern of living, new dimensions of the soul will not
emerge. 05/17/2007 Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny. - Frank Outlaw 05/16/2007One thought follows another
without interruption. But if you allow these thoughts to link up to
a chain, you put yourself in bondage. 05/15/2007 What matters is that you become a
brilliant beacon, shining with joy and happiness, and live your life
with confidence and courage. Make it a point to do something
every day that you don't want to do. This is the golden rule for
acquiring the habit of doing our duty without pain. Truth is not a crystal you can
stash away in your pocket, it is an infinite liquid into which you
fall. Facing it - always facing it -
that's the way to get through. Face it! Nothing in life is to be feared.
It is only to be understood. 05/08/2007 When your determination changes,
everything will begin to move in the direction you desire. The
moment you resolve to be victorious, every nerve and fiber in your
being will immediately orient itself toward your success. 05/07/2007 One of the secrets of a long and
fruitful life is to forgive everybody everything every night before
you go to bed. There is no value in life except
what you choose to place upon it and no happiness in any place
except what you bring to it yourself. Consider how much more you suffer
from your anger and grief than from the very things for which you
are angry and grieved. 05/02/2007 Many live in the ivory tower
called reality; they never venture on the open sea of thought. 05/01/2007 The art of being wise is the art
of knowing what to overlook. The way to love anything is to
realize that it may be lost. The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new
landscapes, but in having new eyes. 04/23/2007 04/20/2007 04/19/2007 - Doug Firebaugh 04/17/2007 Nurture your mind with great thoughts; to believe in the heroic
makes heroes. 04/16/2007 Intuition will tell the thinking mind where to look next. 04/13/2007 Dependent people need others to get what they want. Independent
people can get what they want through their own efforts.
Interdependent people combine their own efforts with the efforts of
others to achieve their greatest success. 04/12/2007 Step by step. I can't think of any other way of accomplishing
anything. 04/11/2007 The first rule is to keep an untroubled spirit. The second is to
look things in the face and know them for what they are. 04/10/2007 Opportunities? They are all around us... There is power lying
latent everywhere waiting for the observant eye to discover it. 04/09/2007 If you employed study, thinking, and planning time daily, you
could develop and use the power that can change the course of your
destiny. 04/06/2007 Whenever one finds oneself inclined to bitterness, it is a sign of emotional failure. - Bertrand Russell 04/05/2007 Your sole contribution to the sum of things is yourself. 04/04/2007 We are more often frightened than hurt; and we suffer more from
imagination than from reality. 04/03/2007 Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is the noble
art of leaving things undone. The wisdom of life consists in the
elimination of nonessentials. 04/02/2007 They [the good old days] were never that good, believe me. The
good new days are today, and better day are coming tomorrow. Our
greatest songs are still unsung. 03/30/2007 Set your sights high, the higher the better. Expect the most
wonderful things to happen, not in the future but right now. Realize
that nothing is too good. Allow absolutely nothing to hamper you or
