Thought of the Day
"We are afraid of feelings. We rush through our lives searching yet not living. For those who have the interest to look closely, life becomes art." ~ Diane Mariechild

Time Is My Friend
"My time is expansive and flexible. I have enough time, more than enough time, to accomplish my dreams and my goals. I use my time wisely. I understand the fluidity of time. I pace myself with ease, claiming my right to determine my own tempo and rhythm, velocity and trajectory through life. Time does not rule me. Time does not dominate me. I work with time as a flexible tool. I relish my use of time." ~ Julia Cameron

Attitude
The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more Important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think, say, or do. It is more important than appearance, talent, or skill It will make or break a company…..a church…..a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We can not change our past…we can not change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We can not change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the string we have; and that is our attitude…. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it.

What Is Success?
"To laugh often and love much; To win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; To earn the approval of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty: To give of one's self without the slightest thought of turn; To have accomplished a task, whether by a healthy child, a rescued soul, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; To have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exhalation; To know that only one life has breathed easier because you have lived That is to have succeeded." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
