I liked this one also. So true!

'Life isn't about how to survive the


storm, but how to dance in the rain.'

Some people dream about success.
Other people wakes up, and work hard for it to happen.

Who looks outside dreams, who looks inside
awakens. Carl Jung

I am determined to live my life fully conscious - awake, aware, alive!

"If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be.
Now put foundations under them".

Henry David Thoreau

One of my favorites is "Faith precedes the Miracle"

Two favorites, very different though:

"I am the author of myself." Shakespeare

"Baseball is ninety percent mental and the other half is physical." Yogi Berra

You could substitute "transformation" for baseball.

"When you are clear, what you want will show up in your life, and only to the extent you are clear." Janet Attwood Author of "The Passion Test - The Effortless Path to Discovering Your Destiny

Here's a quote from the song Ordinary Miracles:

"Life is like a gift they say
Wrapped up for you everyday;
Open up and find a way
To give some of your own."

OK, I'll give this a shot. I'm not sure if Wayne Dyer came up with this, but I heard him use it:

"You get what you think about.......whether you want it or not"

"If you look at what you have in life,
you'll always have more.

If you look at what you don't have in life,
you'll never have enough."

(Oprah Winfrey)

We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another.

Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough
and we'll be more content when they are.

After that we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage.

We tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or her act together, when we get a nicer car, are able to go on a nice vacation, when we retire.

The truth is, there's no better time to be happy than right now.

If not now ... when?

Your life will always be filled with challenges. It's best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway.

One of my favorite quotes comes from Alfred D Souza ...

"For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin.
But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life."

This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way.

So, treasure every moment that you have. And treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time ... and remember that time waits for no one ...

So stop waiting until you finish school ... until you go back to school ... until you lose ten pounds ... until you gain ten pounds ... until you have kids ... until your kids leave the house ... until you start work ... until you retire ... until you get married ... until you get divorced ... until Friday night ... until Sunday morning ... until you get a new car or home ... until your car or home is paid off ... until spring, until summer ... until fall ... until winter ... until you are off welfare ... until the first or fifteenth ... until your song comes on ... until you've had a drink ... until you've sobered up ... until you die ... until you are born again to decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy ...

Happiness is a journey ... not a destination!!



"Work like you don't need money,
Love like you've never been hurt,
And dance like no one's watching."

"Don't be afraid if things seem difficult in the beginning.
That's only the initial impression.
The important thing is not to retreat;
you have to master yourself."

(Olga Korbut - Gymnast: Four Time Olympic Gold Medallist)

"Spring doesn't guarantee a harvest, but it is the opportunity to plant one."

There is no failure...only feedback.
