"Knowledge is awareness, and to it are many paths, not all of them paved with logic. But sometimes one is guided through the maze by intuition.
One is led by something felt on the wind, something seen in the stars, something that calls from the wastelands to the spirit.”

Louis L'Amour

"The greatest accomplishment is not in never falling, but in rising again after you fall."

Vince Lombardi

Self-observation brings man to the realization of the necessity of self-change. And in observing himself a man notices that self-observation itself brings about certain changes in his inner processes. He begins to understand that self-observation is an instrument of self-change, a means of awakening.

George Gurdjieff

not so much one to live by but it is funny.

some people are like slinkies, they aren't really good for anything but always manage to bring a smile to your face when pushed down the stairs.

* Just because I smile doesnt mean that Im happy because it takes one smile to cover a million tears.

* Anyone can make you smile or cry but it takes someone special to make you smile when you already have tears in your eyes.

* I want to be remembered as the girl who always smiles even when she wants to cry. And the one that could always brighten up your day even if she couldnt brighten her own.

* Everything has its beauty just not everyone can see it.

*Its not what you do its the way that you do it and that's what gets results.

* A best friend is like a four leaf clover, hard to find but lucky to have.

* DOnt walk behind me I may not lead, dont walk in front of me I may not follow, just walk beside me and be my friend.

All from Richard Bach -

Every person, all the events of your life are there because you have drawn them there. What you choose to do with them is up to you.

Here is a test to find whether your mission on earth is finished: If you're alive, it isn't.

An easy life doesn't teach us anything. In the end it's the learning that matters: what we've learned and how we've grown.

There are no mistakes. The events we bring upon ourselves, no matter how unpleasant, are necessary in order to learn what we need to learn; whatever steps we take, they're necessary to reach the places we've chosen to go.

The best way to pay for a lovely moment is to enjoy it.

With every choice you risk the life you would have had; with every decision, you lose it.

"We ought to be more concerned about removing wrong thoughts from the mind than about removing tumors and abscesses from the body." - Epictetus. (50-138)

From one of the most brilliant and wisest minds of all time, Thomas Edison:

I find my greatest pleasure, and so my reward, in the work that precedes what the world calls success.

I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

I know this world is ruled by infinite intelligence. Everything that surrounds us- everything that exists - proves that there are infinite laws (http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/t/thomas_a_edison.html#) behind it. There can be no denying this fact. It is mathematical in its precision.

None of my inventions came by accident, they came by work.

If we did all the things we are capable of, we would literally astound ourselves.

Just because something doesn't do what you planned it to do doesn't mean it's useless.

Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.

Nearly every man who develops an idea works it up to the point where it looks impossible, and then he gets discouraged. That's not the place to become discouraged.

"And my aim in my life is to make pictures and drawings, as many and as well as I can; then, at the end of my life, I hope to pass away, looking back with love and tender regret, and thinking, 'Oh, the pictures I might have made.'.."

Vincent Van Gogh

"I put my heart and my soul into my work, and have lost my mind in the process."

Vincent Van Gogh

nothing in life is to be feared. it is only to be understood. - marie curie

"Imagination is more important than knowledge.Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world." -Albert Einstein

When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt. Henry J. Kaiser

Tolkien

Too broke to pay attention. Will work for Adderall.

"You have to be different!"

Monty Python's 'Life of Brian'

Operate from an attitude of gratitude. It makes a world of difference in our lives. There is always something for which to be grateful, even if it is only for life itself. What matters most is here and now, what is right in front of us, and what is within our reach and grasp. That is where we can make a difference. - Bluerose

Not to live by - A summery of the human race


'As humans, we can merely sense the existence of a higher truth, a greater coherence than ourselves, but we cannot see it face to face. That is either funny or sad, and humans stagger from one option to the other. Neither beasts nor angels, we live in twilight, and we are unsure whether it is a prelude to morning to a prelude to night.'

(the fantabulous Andrew Sullivan.)

Quotes by Louis L'Amour

I get this e-mail subscription where I get these notes in my inbox Mon-Fri from something called The Universe and I thought I would just share some...


Have you stopped to consider that it's life's "disconnects," "almosts," and "not quites," that make life's "connections," "gotchas," and "eurekas" so fantastically romantic?

Good, because they were your idea.
One of the things I've learned from witnessing civilization after civilization after civilization, is that one should never underestimate the profound resiliency of the human spirit, nor how swiftly things can change for the better - often overnight.
Sometimes, understanding their fears, helps you to understand their actions, as well as their pain.

Plus, understanding their fears sometimes helps you to understand your own.
People, when given a chance, smile, skip, and dance.

They create, play, and laugh.

They care, share, and love.

And the ones who don't, haven't yet realized that chances are something you give yourself.
Remember the joy you used to feel when you'd find a quarter lying in the street?

And how exciting it was when you got older and found a crumpled $20 bill in the pocket of a pair of jeans you hadn't worn in months?

Well brace yourself, because the day isn't far off when in-between taking naps, swimming laps, and doing the routine happy dance, you'll be busy gathering documents for your tax return preparer and suddenly you'll find a statement to a bank account you don't even remember opening, with more than enough money in it to do whatever it is your heart now longs to do.
Tell me, do folks really think they can become lost, end up lonely, or fail, when all they have to do to change absolutely everything is help another?
Warming planet - check.
Species on brink of extinction - check.
Ice caps melting - check.
Economies in chaos - check.
__________(insert your name in here) "in the house" - the one and only.
Grab a seat. We're about to witness the most exciting comeback in history.

Excuse me, but I don't think I noticed, "do a little dance," on your "to-do list."

"Outside of a dog a book is a mans best friend, inside of a dog its too dark to read"...Grocho Marx:)

Ever notice how, when someone dreams of happiness, abundance, health, romance, or friendship, they never have to wonderif it's in their best interest?
But when someone dreams of a specific house, employer, love interest, deadline, dollar amount, or diet fad, they often end up contradicting themselves?
Keep your "end results" general. Everything else is just a how.

Save the glorious details for visualizing and getting excited about the big picture of your life, yet don't attach to those details or mistake them for what you really want.

It wasn't me!:D

This is so not short, but I love it :D

'In that direction,' the Cat said, waving its right paw round, 'lives a Hatter: and in that direction,' waving the other paw, 'lives a March Hare. Visit either you like: they're both mad.'

'But I don't want to go among mad people, Alice remarked.

'Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: 'we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.'

'How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.

'You must be,' said the Cat, 'or you wouldn't have come here.'

Steve Goodier

When you visualize a great dream of yours coming true, what do you imagine?
Do you see yourself jumping up and down, doing the happy dance, looking to the sky, and shrieking, "THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!"? Can you feel the skin on your face stretch as you smile from ear to ear, or the palm of your hands sting as you slap more high-fives? Can you feel the phone in your hand as you dial your best friends?
Yeah, I think you should.

Happy tears running down your face, tasting their salty bouquet when they reach your lips?

Love is...

giving someone the chance to destroy you and trusting them not to.

Silence is golden...ducktape is silver!

If you take the "dis" out of disabilities, you will find abilities

Success is achieved when you figure out what you were born to do and fashion a lifestyle that enables you to do it

It is by tiny steps that we ascend the stars - Jack Leedstrom

Crises are nature's way of forcing change - Susan Taylor

It is hard to let old beliefs go. They are familiar. We are comfortable with them and have spent years building systems and developing habits that depend on them. Like a man who has worn eyeglasses so long that he gorgets he has them on, we forget that the world looks to us the way it does becayse we have become used to seeing it that way through a particular set of lenses. Today, however, we need new lenses. And we need to throw the old ones away. - Kenichi Ohmae
"Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to."
"I don't much care where as long as I get somewhere."
"Then it doesn't matter which way you go."
-Alice and the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland.

Each day that we wake is a new start, another chance. Why waste it on self-pity, sloth and selfishness? Roll that day around on your tongue, relish the taste of its freedom. Breathe deeply of the morning air, savour the fragrance of opportunity. Run your hands along the spine of those precious 24 hours and feel the strength in sinew and bone. Life is raw material. We are artisans. We can sculpt our existence into something beautiful, or debase it into ugliness. It's in our hands. - Cathy Better

"ADD - it's not just a disorder, it's an ADDed Dimension."

I'm not a heartbreaker...

I just get bored easily!

All roads lead to truth, though some will take you there a whole heck of a lot quicker than others.
Be honest with yourself

Accidents, coincidences, and serendipities don't create dreams.
Your dreams create them.

The one thing all famous authors, world class athletes, business tycoons, singers, actors, and celebrated achievers in any field have in common is that they all began their journeys when they were none of these things.
Yet still, they began their journeys.

In the beginning, the price of giving great love is risking that it won't be returned. Until you understand, of course, that great love is always returned.

In all battles of the heart over the mind, go with your heart. Because, truly, it's a lot easier for your mind to catch up with your heart, than for your heart to catch up with your mind. A whole lot.

Funny, most folks "there" are waiting for a sign of sorts from folks "here," before they make a move, take action, or commit.

9 out of 10 old souls agree that one of the very best things about spiritual maturity, besides the discounts, is appreciating that age is so very meaningless.

Question: What would it take, what would have to happen in your life these days for you to allow yourself to really kick back, relax and just enjoy?
Answer: Whatever it is, whatever, you will achieve it, earn it, acquire it, ore experience it so much faster, if you first, kick back, relax and just enjoy.

You are "here" (your life now) and you want to go "there" (your dreamed of life). And because both are physical places, it would seem that you mus manipulate the physical world to go from "here" to "there."
Ah-ha! This is the ultimate illusion.
Physical places are simply mirages, reflections, of an inner world, the world of your thoughts. So to get from "here" to "there" you must do your manipulating within.

When you get there, wherever "there" is for you, probably nothing else will matter more, than wanting to help others achieve as you have.
Who will yopu first reach out to? What will you do or say? How will you conduct yourself in public? How will you show them what you see?
Better start practicing

Your "challenges" are simply the manifestation of your so-called invisble, limiting beliefs.
Not so invisible after all, eh?

Shhhhh...
The secret to living the life of your dreams, is to start living the life of your dreams, at once, to any degree that you possible can.

To find the shortest path to any dream, work with ideas, not facts. Dwell upon the end result, not the how's. And rely upon the Universe, not yourself.

There is no greater weapon...than kindness. A smile, a compliment, encouragement and compassion belong in the arsenal of every Time ~ Space Adventurer.
Today, may you crush, kill, and destroy the fears you encounter, in others, and in yourself.

Adventurers All Points Warning
Today, you will be challenged. Challenged, by the grand illusion. Tempted to look to time, space and all things material, for understanding; to judge your place in the world; and to make decisions about your life.
Fight it.
Go within.
Remember the magic.
Be vigilant.

The things and events of time and space...the stuff that's surrounding you now, your memory of recent events, all simply reveal where you've been, not where you're headed.

The good thing, about bad things, is that they make way for even better things.

Do you know why you are you?
Because no one else could be.

Never trust appearances.

Thinking...is the ultimate contact sport.

Someone so cool, something so neat, and somewhere so wonderful, are all on the menu. You just have to make up your mind and order.
And you should see dessert.

The reason that some of your thoughts haven't yet become things...is because other thoughts of yours have.

Here's a couple:
Thou art that -the Bagavad Gita
All distinctions are falsely imagined - I think that was the most recent Buddha
The way that can be named is not the true way.

These are the times, when hopes are dashed and chaos abounds, that golden opportunities, prized ideas, and new friends emerge into the view of all, but are only seen by the few who look.
Let's go crazy.

Decide that you're going to have a good day!

never say never

Do you know what happens just before something really incredible takes place? Something mind blowing? Just before a really huge dream comes true?
Do you?
Nothing.
Nothing happens. At least not in the physical world.
So if, perchance, right now, it appears that absolutely nothing is happening in your life...consider it a sign.
Expect to be surprised.

The root if every "evil" is looking to time and space for meaning, for solutions, for identity; for friends, love, and laughter; wealth, health, and harmony.
The source of all - material things - is spirit, which is molded by thought (yours), and then, without judgement, impressed upon matter, before your very eyes. Trying to get what you want, no matter what it is, by looking to time and space first, is like putting the cart before the horse, and will leave you feeling powerless, heartbroken, even sick.
And dear heart, this is the cand-coated version of the truth.

Anger closes the mind, and cools the heart, at a time when both are needed most.

When you look into the mirror each morning, do you apply your make-up or shaving cream to your reflection in the glass?
Ha! Of course not, you'd be locked up.
Instead, you go to the source of the reflection.
So then, when it comes to living the life of your dreams, the same philosphy should apply. Why try to manipulate the illusions of time and space, when you can go to their source, the inner world of your own thoughts, beliefs and expectations, where the real work is done anyway.

Someone once said, "No pain, no gain."
And so it became their reality.
Bummer, huh?

Your supply is the Universe, and its ways are infinite.

The real reason you chose to be here - your purpose and mission in life - was to simply be who you now are.
Good reason

Every day we face extraordinary risks and challenges as we attempt to balance ourselve above the crowd. One slip and we fear we'll find ourselves plunging to the ground. We can't eliminate our missteps, but we can build safety nets to catch us when we fall

"To hell with circumstances; I create opportunities" - Bruce Lee
"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living in someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking.

"A friend is someone who knows all about you and still loves you."

Too often, the only difference between HAVE and HAVE NOT depends on whether or not the initial request was followed by a thank you, yee-haa, and action, rather than a question mark, timidity, and TV.
Don't ask. Give thanks. Bust a move.

A Person's mind stretched by

Man bears the whole universe within himself and comes closet to the mystery of the world by stepping inside himself - Novalis (1722-1801)

There are many planets and galaxies
Beyond the stars we can see
If you love God's creation
You have to learn how to perceive its beauty and mystery
Your life is not the only one whose
Fragrance can ride on the morning breeze
There are hundreds of others around you
Whose fragrance can spread all around, even go against the wind
You are a free bird, flying is your nature
Fly higher, higher, ever higher;
There are skies, and skies beyond skies to explore
At one time I thought I was alone
Even though I was amongst many
Now I realize we share each other's
Secrets and I was never alone or separate from you
-Sir Mohammed Iqbal

We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another, unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations - Anais Nin

To listen to another's soul into a condition of disclosure and discovery may be almost the greatest service that any human being can ever perform for another - Douglas Steere, Quaker

My friends have made the story of my life. In a thousand ways they have turned my limitations into beautiful privileges - Helen Keller

"Love has a transforming power. It is first and foremost a revelation of a person's essential, fundamental beauty and value. If nobody reveals to children their innate beauty and value, they will never know the importance and the meaning of their life. They will hid behind sulking, depression, violence, aggressive attitudes or will try to prove their brilliance. When they are listened to and loved they begin to discover what it means to be human. Little by little they become more trusting and want to live more fully. They realise they do not have to defend or prove themselves or always be at the centre of the stage; they have a place, they belong" - Jean Vanier, Letters of L'Arche

We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it - and stop there, lest we be like the cats that sit down on a hot stovelid. She will never sit down on a hot stove lid again - and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore - Mark Twain

Disabilities don't limit a person; people limit themselves by what they think they can and can't do. If you think you can't do it, you likely won't be able to. If you think you can do it, you will

Have the courage to identify your strengths and weaknesses and the discipline to deal with both. People need to realize that "if they are born short, they won't be playing in the NBA." But, other than those few things you can't accomplish that are directly related to a weakness or LD, do what you can do well and succeed in that area

Believe in yourself

If you are not sure you can do something, try anyway. Why not start high and if that doesn't work move around until you find where you fit

"Passion is the great slayer of adversity. Focus on strengths and what you enjoy" - Charles Schwab

We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time - T.S. Eliot

Life is not a "gimme" either. You have to work at it. You have to take part, contribute. You may get knocked down and you may fail but what you do succeed at will strengthen your self-esteem. You will feel better about yourself with every little success you have. For a while it will seem like one step forward and three back but it progress to one forward and two back and so on. If you think your life sucks, just look around you because believe me, there's always someone worse off. Clichés are true!

"The only true answer is the one you find for yourself"
There are many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in the year's course. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word "happy" would lose its meaning if were not balanced by sadness - Carl Jung

"The more one learns, the more he understands his ignorance."

Louis L'Amour

Do you know what you have in common, with the tiniest percentage of human beings who have ever, ever, ever graced the face of the earth?
You can still walk barefoot. You can still pick flowers. And you can still make a difference.
Life is yummy.

Listen

Your thoughts are free, right?
It must follow, then, that so is everything else.

Therefore, you never, ever again, have to ask, "How much?" Because now you know.

"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment."

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Give it thought. Consider every angle. And then speak your mind.
You've not been drawn into anyone's life just to listen

The place to improve the world is first in one's own heart and head. - Bluerose

You get as many "do-overs" as you like. Of course, you never know you're living a "do-over" until it's over.
There are lots of reasons for wanting a "do-over." Most of all, people want another chance to do things they were afraid to do the first time, and to say things they were afraid to say. Oddly enough, it's not their mistakes they want to rework, but their "unused" minutes.
Yeah, pretty nifty, but you should know that it isn't easier the next time, and because no two ever go exactly the same, the gifts, opportunities, and loves of one, never appear the same way again. Never.
So all in all, it's better to live as if there are no "do-overs", so that you won't need one. But I thought I'd share this with you anyway, to work in the bits about fear, mistakes, and how precious today's opportunities really and truly are.
Of course, more double-chocolate lattes is another reason for many "do-overs."

Never miss an opportunity to make others happy, even if you have to leave them alone in order to do it. ~Author Unknown

"Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own."

Robert A. Heinlein

You can tell more about a person by what he says about others than you can by what others say about him. ~Leo Aikman

Pobody's Nerfect

The few who look forward, while always knocking on new doors, no matter how futile it may seem or insignificant their progress, will carry the many who just keep waiting for things to get better.
And the few will "suddenly" become overnight legends within their families, 'hoods, and countries, while having the most fun, with the most friends, at the most after-parties

"Nothing is lost that we do not first see as lost.

Visions born of fear give birth to our failing.
Visions born of hope give birth to our success.

What is possible lives within us, and it only remains for us to discover it."

Terry Brooks

You're freakin' me out. I can't remember when you last looked so radiant. When your inner beauty shone so bright. When your step was so light and your smile so heavenly. And it's Monday! What's gotten into you?!
Does this have anything to do with recalling your divinity? Have you realized that time truly is on your side, and that more than enough of it remains for us to do your greatest work? Is it that you now see how much you already have, how many you've already helped, and how much you've already done?
Ahhhh! Your eyes just did that sparkly thing! Moonbeams just shot from your fingertips! The aroma, all around you, is like lavender! And your angels are locked wing to wing singing, "Weeeeeeeeeee are the champions..."
...Okay, okay. So I'm pulling your leg a little bit. Truth be told, I can't remember when you didn't look like this.

Ohhhh, to be alive in time and space!
If only those now living could recall what such a prospect once meant to them before their life began. And what it still means to multitudes in the unseen now awaiting their own initiations who, try as they may, can't even imagine the simple ecstasy of breathing.
To them, you already "have it all"

In any moment of decision the best thing you can do is the right
thing. The worst thing you can do is nothing. - Theodore Roosevelt

There isn't a moment in any day, when someone, somewhere, isn't better off because of something you've done.
And no matter what you do, or don't do, with the rest of your life, you cannot now comprehend the amounts of love, joy, and personal assistance that are already being pressed out to you in gratitude.
Must be nice.
Don't paybacks rock?

"What we do for ourselves dies with us.
What we do for others and the world, remains and is immortal."

Viva Buymoria!

"Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain"

--that's my favorite quote..

"A man walks down the street in that hat... people know he's not afraid of anything."

You could not possibly be more loved, than you are right now.
Nor more popular,
By the entire world, and strange, alien life forms beyond.

"Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand." ~ Albert Einstein

The Current Reality of the World's Hidden Imagination

What negative beliefs do to the imagination:

Imagine a world where few people believe they can use their imagination.

Imagine a world where few people believe they possess any strength.

Imagine a world where most people believe what they think is more important than what they feel and have closed down the entrance to their heart.

Imagine a world that causes such fear, people are afraid to dream while they are awake.

Imagine a world where you believe you have no sacred place to go access your creative spirit and connect to the essence of your soul.

Imagine a world where you believe you are in a jail cell where somebody has tossed the key down an endless dark hole.

Imagine a world where you wake up every day with a gut wrenching pain, in your stomach, because you know what awaits you.

Imagine a world that focuses on everything you can't do at the expense of what you can do.

Imagine a world that believes "who" you are is "what" you are able to do or not do.

Imagine a world where you wake up every day with a sense of hope only to realize you believe life is hopeless.

Imagine a world that no matter how dark it is, you still believe you have an inner light, but you don't believe you will ever find it.

Imagination with Possibilities

Imagine a world that never judges you for your performance, but accepts you for who you are.

Imagine a world that honors, respects and embraces different ideas, beliefs and ways of doing things.

Imagine a world that looks at every human being as a divine angel that only brings creativity, cooperation and compassion to everything they do.

Imagine a world where every human being appreciates differences and diversity that make "variety the spice of life."

Imagine a grateful world that does not take for granted what is easily granted.

Imagine the daily power you have to choose to positively change your part of the world; to do that, you accept and embrace all of your unique, divine talents and employ them, daily, to create the change you would like to see.

Imagine that this new possible world is, right now, your new reality. What is the first thing you will do? When will you do it? How will you do it? What will happen as a result of your choices? Imagine what could happen then!!!!!

Imagine having that kind of week, this week!!!!!!

Never trust a smiling dog. - My husband says this all the time!

This is a longish one, but it's one that continually inspires me to consider why I'm doing things, and hopefully make the right decision. It is a quote attributed to John Boyd, a man who was considered one of the greatest fighter pilots of his generation, and was instrumental in the design of some of the most versatile military aircraft used over the last 50 years.

Tiger, one day you will come to a fork in the road,” he said. “And you’re going to have to make a decision about which direction you want to go.” He raised his hand and pointed. “If you go that way you can be somebody. You will have to make compromises and you will have to turn your back on your friends. But you will be a member of the club and you will get promoted and you will get good assignments.” Then Boyd raised his other hand and pointed another direction. “Or you can go that way and you can do something - something for your country and for your Air Force and for yourself. If you decide you want to do something, you may not get promoted and you may not get the good assignments and you certainly will not be a favorite of your superiors. But you won’t have to compromise yourself. You will be true to your friends and to yourself. And your work might make a difference.” He paused and stared into the officer’s eyes and heart. “To be somebody or to do something. In life there is often a roll call. That’s when you will have to make a decision. To be or to do. Which way will you go?

Isn't it nice to know that you haven't yet laughed, all that you'll laugh? That you haven't yet met, some of your very best friends? And that you haven't dreamed, all that you'll manifest?
That all bridges will be mended? That all sadness will be healed? And that life never ends?
That all of your challenges will be one? That all of your triumphs will be shared? And that the difference you'll make, has already begun?
Well, it is for me, because I also know that if you don't see these things yet, you will.
Could it get any better?
To me, it's like life is one big, long Friday

You cannot shake hands with a clenched fist. - Indira Gandhi

Don't critique the job you're doing until you've completed it.
If you can never linger, it is hard to get close to anyone
When you're feeling down on yourself, it's easy to see others as superhuman
Without risking failure, we will never achieve anything that is truly ours.
Begin each day by looking in the mirror and saying, "You don't have to be perfect today!"
Shoulds are someone else's idea of how I ought to do things.

The real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light."
