ENRICHING the MIND and SPIRIT


There is no height, no depth,
that the spirit of man, guided by a higher spirit,
cannot attain.

(John Hunt, 1953)


All human life has its season and cycles,
and no one's personal chaos can be permanent.
Winter, after all, gives way to Spring and Summer,
sometimes when branches stay dark
and earth cracks with ice,
one thinks they will never come
that spring and that summer,
but they do, and always.

(Truman Capote)


Humankind has not woven the web of life.
We are but one thread within it.
Whatever we do to the web,
we do to ourselves.
All things are bound together.
ALL things CONNECT.

(Chief Seattle)


Every man has a train of thought,
which he rides when he is alone.
The dignity and nobility of his life,
as well as his happiness
depend upon the direction
on which that train is going,
the baggage it carries,
and the scenery through which it travels.

(Joseph Newton)


There's a luggage limit
for every passenger on a flight
The same rules apply to your life
You must eliminate some baggage
before you can fly.

(Rosalind Johnson)


Go placidly amid the noise & haste,
& remember what peace there may be in silence.
...Speak your truth quietly & clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull & ignorant;
they too have their story.

...If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain & bitter;
for always
there will be greater & lesser persons than yourself.

Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity & disenchantment
it is perrenial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit
to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself
with imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue & loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.

...you have the right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding
as it should.

Therefore, be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors & aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of this
keep peace with your soul.

... Be careful. Strive to be happy.

(excerpts from DESIDERATA)


God is always at work in you
to make you willing & able
to obey his own Purpose.

(Philippians 2:43)


Life is an opportunity, avail it.
Life is a beauty, admire it.
Life is bliss, taste it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is costly, care for it.
Life is wealth, keep it.
Life is love, enjoy it.
Life is mystery, know it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, brace it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is life, save it!
Life is luck, make it.
Life is precious, do not destroy it.

(Mother Teresa's Philosophy of life)


Know that it's your decisions,
and NOT your conditions
that determine your destiny.

(Anthony Robbins)


The real voyage of discovery
consists not,
in seeking new landscapes,
but in having new eyes.

(Marcel Proust)


Watch your thoughts for they become words.
Choose your words, for they become actions.
Understand your actions, for they become habits.
Study your habits, for they will become your character.
Develop your character, for it becomes your destiny.

The Essence of Destiny


The rock that is an obstacle in the path of one person
becomes a stepping stone in the path of another.

Possibilities


Excellence is the result of caring more than others think is wise
risking more than others think is safe
dreaming more than others think is practical
and expecting more than others think is possible.

EXCELLENCE


If you are humble,
nothing will touch you,
neither praise nor disgrace
because you know
what you are.

(Mother Teresa of Calucutta)


All of life is
readying, attuning, awakening.

(Richard Rohr, OFM)


It is never too late to be
what we might have been.

(George Elliot)


The Art of life lies in a constant readjustment to our surrounding.

(Kakuzo Okakiwa)


Have patience with all things, but most specially with yourself.

(St. Francis de Sales)


Accomplishment- like life -will prove to be a journey,
not a destination.

(Anonymous)


I don't know the key to success.
But I know the key to failure is trying to please everybody.

(Bill Cosby)


Behind every successful man,
there's a lot of unsuccessful years.

(Bob Brown)


Life isn't a matter of milestones, but of moments.

(Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy)


It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.

(Sir Edmund Hillary)


Do not wait for leaders;
Do it alone, person to person

(Mother Teresa of Calucutta)


Live every act fully, as if it were your last.

(Buddha)


Where you stand in the moment,
is where it's unfolding.
Even if you don't know what your life purpose is,
being mindful of the present moment
is your purpose.

(Laura Kwong)


A smile is contagious; be a carrier.

Believe that you have it, and you have it

Latin Proverbs


Destiny is not a matter of chance
it is a matter of choice.

William Jennings Bryan


Faith sees the Invisible
Feels the Intangible
and Achieves the IMPOSSIBLE!

oceanvu


People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered;
....Forgive them anyway
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motive;
....Be Kind anyway
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
....Succeed anyway
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
....Be honest and frank anyway
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
....Build anyway
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
....Be happy anyway
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
.....Do good anyway
Give the world the best you have; and it may never be enough;
....Give the world the best you've got anyway
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God;
....It was never between you and them anyway.

(Mother Teresa's Prayer)

and endeavors to live life which he imagined,

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.
People, even more than things,
have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.
Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands;
one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others..
