“Life” by Mother Teresa

Candles

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is bliss, taste it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.

Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.

“Risk” by Mark Twain

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you 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 sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

~ Mark Twain

The Universal Truth

Sunset

“Through the rise and fall of empires, through the creation of vast bodies of symbols that give shape to our dreams;
through the forging of magic keys with which to unlock
the mysteries of creation…through it all we are
marching from epoch to epoch towards the fullest
realization of our soul.

“Yes, we are coming, the pilgrims, one and all…
coming to our true inheritance of the world,
we are ever broadening our conciousness,
ever seeking a higher end and higher unity;
ever approaching nearer to the one universal truth
which is the All…comprehensive all embracing.”

-Rabindranath Tagore, 1861-1941

Dale Carnegie on Human Nature

“One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living.
We are dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon, instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today”.

The Winners Creed

“I know that I have the ability to achieve my definite purpose in life;
therefore, I demand of myself persistent, continuous action towards its
attainment, and I here and now promise to render such action.

I fully realise that no wealth or position can long endure, unless built
upon truth and justice; therefore I will engage in no transaction,
which does not benefit all whom it affects.

I am succeeding by attracting to myself the forces I wish to use and
the co-operation of other people. I induce others to serve me because
of my willingness to serve others.

I eliminate hatred, envy, jealousy, selfishness, cynicism, anger and fear
by having true love for all humanity, because I know that a negative
attitude towards others can never bring me success.

I cause others to believe in me, beacause I believe in them and in myself.

This is my creed, this is my quest.

To never stop striving for the top, to always keep moving forward, to
always be the very best I can be.

I am the power. I am the magic. I can not be stopped. I am a winner.

I promise to always be true to myself, because I am the creator and
master of my universe, and am responsible for making a positive
difference in the world and to the quality of life in it.

I live in constant and never-ending improvement!”

Poem on Life

“I bargained with Life for a penny,
And Life would pay no more,
However I begged at evening
When I counted my scanty store.

For Life is a just employer,
It’ll give you what you ask,
But, once you have set the wage,
Why you must bear the task.

I worked for a menial’s hire,
Only to learn, dismayed,
That any wage I had asked of Life
Life would have willingly paid.”


~Unknown

Quote from Brian Tracy

“Seek for the valuable lesson in every setback or disappointment – you will always find one” ~Brian Tracy

I wanted to write an article on coping with adversity. Looking for inspiration I logged onto Twitter and these wise words from Brian Tracy appeared before me.

Co-incidence? I don’t believe in co-incidence.
Do you?

Attracting by Feeling

Noosa Beach“We do not attract what we want, but attract what we are.”
~ Quote by James Lane Allen

According to The Law of Attraction we are attracting to us all the time, whether we’re aware of it or not. It is as if we were living magnets which attract what we’re feeling about rather than what we’re thinking about.

Most people believe that if they just think positively that’ll be enough, but our universe is a ‘feeling universe’…thoughts of what we want don’t quite get us there.

To attract what you want in life, you must feel what you desire in your own reality and feel good about it. This will attract more good feelings and more things to feel good about.

Thoughts of ‘wanting’ just bring more wanting; instead feel that you already have whatever it is that you want to manifest. All forms of matter and energy are attracted to that which is of a like vibration.

Your Universe – short quote by Douglas Adams

“Everything you see or hear or experience in any way at all is specific to you. You create a universe by perceiving it, so everything in the universe you perceive is specific to you.”

Douglas Adams is well known for his wonderful  “Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy” books, and is obviously a very clever man. His above quote is now borne out by the quantum physicists. We are moulding the very universe we perceive.

Any quantum physicists out there? Let me know if I have this wrong!

Quote on Gratitude

“Life without thankfulness is devoid of love and passion.

Hope without thankfulness is lacking in fine perception.

Faith without thankfulness lacks strength and fortitude.

Every virtue divorced from thankfulness is maimed

And limps along the spiritual road.”

~ John Henry Jowett

Woody Allen Said…

“Summing up, it is clear the future holds great opportunities.
It also holds pitfalls.
The trick will be to avoid the pitfalls,
seize the opportunities,
and get back home by six o’clock.”

Groucho Marx on Happiness


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.

~Groucho Marx
