Do you have what it takes?

"It is not a question of whether you "have what it takes," but of whether you take the gifts you have -- they are plenteous -- and share them with all the world." - Neale Donald Walsch - Tomorrow's God

Envy ...

"Envy is the art of counting another's blessings instead of your own." - Harold Coffin

Laugh + Cry = Life

"The main thing in one's own private world is to try to laugh as much as you cry." - Maya Angelou

Give Love

"Instead of looking for love, give it; constantly renew it in yourself and you will always feel its presence within you. It will always be there smiling at you, gazing on you kindly." - Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov

Change Your Mood

"Try this simple 2-step trick to change your mood: First smile. It's awkward but smile anyway. Keep smiling. Second: look for 20 things that are beautiful or that you appreciate. Try finding fifty. Do this for ten minutes and see what happens ..." - Pseudomonk

Stillness - Quiet

"In the stillness of the quiet, if we listen, we can hear the whisper of the heart giving strength to weakness, courage to fear, hope to despair." - Howard Thurman

Love Lost

"Ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation." - Kahlil Gibran

Cast off

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the things you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. . . . Explore. Dream." -  Mark Twain

Candles in the Dark

"It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness." - Chinese Proverb "With all the negativity that surrounds us, it is easy to become overwhelmed. It is also tempting to fight against the negative or to declare war on it. Yet a master teacher offered a better way: 'Resist not evil, but overcome evil with good.'" - from todaysgift@hazenden.info

Joy?

"Since you get more joy out of giving joy to others, you should put a good deal of thought into the happiness that you are able to give." - Eleanor Roosevelt
