work that kindness does to others is that it makes them kind
themselves.

Learn from yesterday. Live for today. Hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.

Make bold moves toward your dreams each day. Refuse to stop and nothing can stop you
Need nothing. Enjoy everything. Love all.
Replace your judgments with empathy. Upgrade your complaining to gratitude. And trade in your fear for love
Stop thinking… start doing. Think less.. Do more. Do the thing.. And you will know the way.
The moment you accept responsibility for EVERYTHING in your life, is the moment you gain the power to change ANYTHING in your life.
There is nothing to fear, because you cannot fail.. Only learn, grow and become better than you’ve ever been before.
When you are consciously aware of all that you have to be grateful for, your life is in perfect harmony.
When you live with integrity and value your word over your excuses, you have the power to speak your dreams into existence.
You must establish and maintain the beliefs that you are capable, committed and destined to achieve your goals.

Waldo Emerson 1803-1882
American essayist & lecturer
Be
an opener of doors.
Be brave enough to do the loving thing.
Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude.
For every minute you are angry, you lose sixty seconds of happiness.
Nothing is beneath you.. If it is in the direction of your life.
Of cheerfulness or a good temper.. The more it is spent, the more it remains.
One of the illusions of life is that the present hour is not the critical, decisive hour. Write it on your heart, that every day is the best day in the year.
Peace cannot be achieved through violence, it can only be attained through understanding.
The measure of mental health is to find good everywhere.
The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.

Don’t
find fault.. Find a remedy.
Even a mistake may turn out to be the one thing necessary to a worthwhile achievement.
Obstacles are.. Those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goals.
Quality means doing it right, when no one is looking.
The man who will use his skill and constructive imagination to see how much he can give for a dollar, instead of how little he can give for a dollar is bound to succeed.
Whether you think you can, or think you can’t.. you are right.

Unfinished Or Endless
Do
not judge a biography by its length
Nor
by the number of pages in it
Judge
it by the richness of its contents
Sometimes
those unfinished are among the most poignant
Do
not judge a song by its duration
Nor
by the number of its notes
Judge
it by the way it touches and lifts the Soul
Sometimes
those unfinished are among the most beautiful
And
when something has enriched your life
And
when it’s
melody lingers on in your heart
Is
it unfinished?
Or
is it endless?
Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose.

Service which is rendered without joy helps neither the servant not the served.

Beauty
is not in the face. Beauty is a Light in the heart.
Kahlil
Gibran 1883-1931
Lebanese-American writer & poet
Enthusiasm is a volcano on whose top never grows the grass of hesitation.
Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair, but manifestations of strength and resolution.
The appearance of things change according to the emotions, and thus we see magic and beauty in them, while the magic and beauty are really in ourselves.
The optimist sees the rose and not its thorns; the pessimist stares at the thorns, oblivious to the rose.
Kahlil
Gibran 1883-1931

When I planted my pain in the field of patience, it bore fruit of happiness.

German poet, playwright &

If
you treat an individual as he is, he will remain how he is. But, if
you treat him as he were what he ought to be and could be, he will
become what he ought to be and could be.
It is not doing the things we like to do, but liking the things we have to do, that makes life blessed.
Johann
Wolfgang von Goethe 1749-1832
German poet, playwright &
novelist
Let
your trouble be
Light will follow dark
Though the heaven falls
You may hear the lark
Nothing is worth more than.. This day.
Vincent
van Gogh 1853-1890

things are done by a series of small things brought together.

My
mother always taught us that if people don’t
agree with you, the important thing is to listen to them. But if
you’ve listened
to them carefully and you still think that you’re
right, then you must have the courage of your convictions.
You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.
Alban
Goodier 1869-1939

Ellen
Goodman 1941

The Simple Things In Life
If ever you are feeling down
Whatever it is that makes you frown
Just open your eyes and look about
You’ll find something, without a doubt
To make you smile and appreciate
That the simple things in life are great
A smile, a glance, a hug, a touch
From someone that you love so much
A flower, a leaf, a blade of grass
Nature’s treasures we blindly pass
The serenity of a sleeping child
Even if, in the daytime they tend to run wild
A newborn baby so complete, yet so small
You can’t help but wonder the miracle of it all
Trina

but gets there in the end.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing that couldn’t be done, and he did it.
You

Whether
you’ll do it or

Whether

the goal that’s
afar
Or
just be contented to stay where you are

Thich
Nhat Hanh 1926-2022
Vietnamese monk & peace activist
Walk so that your footprints bear only the marks of peaceful joy and complete freedom. To do this you have to learn to let go. Let go of your sorrows, let go of your worries. That is the secret of walking meditation.
When you plant a lettuce, if it does not grow well, you don’t blame the lettuce. You look for reasons it is not doing well. It may need fertilizer, or more water, or less sun. You never blame the lettuce. Yet, if we have problems with our friends or family, we blame the other person. But if we know how to take care of them, they will grow well, like the lettuce. Blaming has no positive effect at all, nor does trying to persuade using reason and argument. That is my experience. No blame, no reasoning, no argument, just understanding. If you understand, and you show that you understand, you can love, and the situation will change.

Before
you judge me, try hard to love me, look within your heart. Then ask:
have you seen my childhood?
I try to be loving, and I try to find love and see love in all things. I love nature, I love the forest. I love the grace, the gentleness, the easiness of how gentle nature is. It is just giving. I love that.
If you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can be dealt with.
I’m going to search for my star until I find it. It’s hidden in the drawer of innocence, wrapped in a scarf of wonder.
In their innocence, very young children know themselves to be light and love. If we allow them, they can teach us to see ourselves the same way.

For
what I have received may the Lord make me truly thankful. And more
truly for what I have not received.
