“Life moves on, whether we act as cowards or heroes. Life has
no other discipline to impose, if we would but realize it,
than to accept life unquestioningly. Everything we shut our
eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny,
denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What
seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty,
joy, and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is
a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as
such.”
– Henry Miller
“Life is all about timing… the unreachable becomes
reachable, the unavailable become available, the
unattainable… attainable. Have the patience, wait it out.
It’s all about timing.”
– Stacey Charter
“There are three hungers that people are trying to feed throughout their lives. The first is to connect deeply with the creative spirit of life. The second
is to know and express your gifts and talents. The third is to know that our lives matter. Fulfillment comes from feeding these three hungers.”
– Richard Leider
“Worry often gives a small thing a big shadow.”
– Swedish Proverb
“It doesn’t matter if the song of life that you sing is simple
or complicated. All that matters is how much you put into that
song. Your life is controlled only by what you give to it. You
won’t get anything from it if you don’t put feeling into life.
That’s why people fall in love. If they give that feeling,
they get it back. Put all you’ve got into this life, and when
the day comes for you to pass on, you won’t regret what you
did.”
– Author unknown
“You have only one life, and no one else will live it for you.
Shouldn’t you take the time right now to figure out what that
life is all about?”

“You cannot convince someone to see something that they do not
want to see, no matter how much you know it would improve their
lives. You have to love and accept them exactly as they are
today. If you cannot do that, you have to let them go and find
their own way, in their own time, if they ever choose to do so.
Otherwise, you’ll be giving them the power over your happiness,
too.”
– Doe Zantamata

“Time is an equal opportunity employer. Each human being has
exactly the same number of hours and minutes every day. Rich
people can’t buy more hours. Scientists can’t invent new
minutes. And you can’t save time to spend it on another day.
Even so, time is amazingly fair and forgiving. No matter how
much time you’ve wasted in the past, you still have an entire
tomorrow.”
– Denis Waitley

power to motivate or de-motivate. The power to teach good or evil. The
power to express love or hate. The power to give or take. The power to
heal or harm. Choose your words carefully.”
– A.D. Williams

“It’s true, the scale can only give you a numerical reflection of your
relationship with gravity. That’s it. It cannot measure beauty, talent,
purpose, life force, possibility, strength, or love. Don’t give the
scale more power than it has earned. Take note of the number, then get
off the scale and live your life. You are beautiful!”
– Steve Maraboli
“Don’t get so anxious for something that you’ll accept anything. Hold to

known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and

concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”
