"The purpose of life is simply to live a life of purpose. With no reason to get up in the morning life can start to really get you down. Watch out retirees! Make sure you retire to something instead of from something." - Ricky K. |
"My life experience is that I am learning to become more of myself rather than comparing myself with other people. Other people expect me to be like them, but I don't want to be like them, I just want to be more of myself and to accept myself for who I am." - Sharon N. |
“Try to expect nothing, but be open for anything. Don’t look for happiness, but don’t settle for anything less.” — Unknown |
"In war, there are no unwounded soldiers." ~ Jose Narosky |
"Who is not broken in some way or another? Wounded people need healing, not additional bruises....The healing begins when I encounter someone who simply accepts me, listens to my story, and is willing to accompany me in the life I find myself in. Often it is a life without any joy or satisfaction, but it is a life that I have been entrapped in." ~Virgilio Elizondo in Virgilio Elizondo: Spiritual Writings, edited by Timothy Matovina (Orbis) |
I guess I should throw away my map..... :)
A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving.

The antidote for fifty enemies is one friend. ~Aristotle

"I don't understand And I look up and around me As if my surroundings would tell me the answers The wind whisper it in my ear The stars twinkle it in morse code I catch myself Silly to think I could find any answers Any reasons for what happens in this life I don't understand " - Anonymous |
"Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better to take things as they come along with patience and equanimity. " - Unknown |
”Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life. What is it you would let go of today?" --Mary Manin Morrissey |
Our humanity is not an attribute that we have received once and forever with our conception - it is a potentiality which we discover within us and progressively develop or destroy through our confrontation with the different experiences of suffering that will meet us through our life.
(Xavier Le Pichon, Geophysicist) |
JFK Quotes
"A man may die, nations may rise & fall, but an idea lives on." "The path we have chosen for the present is full of hazards, as all paths are. The cost of freedom is always high, but Americans have always paid it. And one path we shall never choose, and that is the path of surrender, or submission." "Tolerance implies no lack of commitment to one's own beliefs. Rather it condemns the oppression or persecution of others." |
Never limit yourself because of others' limited imagination; never limit others because of your own limited imagination.
~ Mae Jemison |
Go with the version of your story that feels best to you when you tell it. Make yourself happy and please yourself. Let everyone off the hook from having to please you or from having to change in order for you to be happy. Don’t blame, complain, explain, ...or apologize. Appreciate what shows up in your life, acknowledging that you called it to you. Let go of perceived offenses quickly. Don’t harbor negative thoughts or feelings. Don’t get trapped in the mental tyranny of stuff you can’t do anything about. Pull back and generalize more when the details become too much for you. Find something to appreciate, praise, celebrate and get excited about. Identify your deal breakers, dealmakers, and personal requirements. Assess your strengths and weaknesses, and then go with your strengths. Be more concerned with being real than being good. If it’s not working for you, don’t export it. Know that the power of your Presence speaks volumes. Have faith that things will get done even if you don’t do it. Invoke joy and freedom by acknowledging your personal power. When your inner being decides to move on, go with her. --Ajike Kendrick

"I was going to wear my happy pants today, but they're in the laundry...hmm" I can totally see her finishing this sentence up with "sucks for you"...LOL |
"You can succeed if nobody else believes it, but you will never succeed if you don't believe in yourself." - William J. H. Boetcker |
