Light Within

People are like stained-glass windows.
They sparkle and shine when the sun is out,
but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed
only if there is a light from within.

- Elizabeth Kübler-Ross

Life is about ...

Life isn’t about finding yourself.
Life is about creating yourself.

- George Bernard Shaw

Love as an Eraser

Love is the biggest eraser there is. Love erases even the deepest imprinting because love goes deeper than anything. If your childhood imprinting was very strong, and you keep saying: "It's their fault. I can't change," you stay stuck.

- Louise Hay

Live Fully

It's only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth - and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up, we will then begin to live each day to the fullest, as if it was the only one we had.

- Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

Potential

The potential of the average person is like a huge ocean unsailed,
a new continent unexplored,
a world of possibilities waiting to be released
and channeled toward some
great good.

-Brian Tracy

Love -- What Else?

If you have it [love],
you don't need to have anything else,
and if you don't have it,
it doesn't matter much what else you have.

- Sir James M. Barrie

Hatred & Love

Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it.

Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it.

Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it.

- Martin Luther King, Jr.

What not to believe

Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it.

Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many.

Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books.

Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.

Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations.

But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.

- Buddha

Success

Success is peace of mind
which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing
you did your best to become the best
you are capable of becoming.


- John R. Wooden

Dreams

Hold fast to dreams - for if dreams die - life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly.

- Langston Hughes

Ever There

To live in hearts we leave behind, is not to die.
