The most sacred place dwells within our heart, where dreams are born and
secrets sleep, a mystical refuge of darkness and light, fear and
conquest, adventure and discovery, challenge and transformation. Our
heart speaks for our soul every moment while we are alive. Listen… as
the whispering beat repeats: be…gin, be…gin, be…gin. It’s really
that simple. Just begin… again.

You may only be someone in the world, but to someone else, you may be the world.

Most people don’t realize how much passion they put into what they don’t want. When you speak to a friend and you tell them all about an “awful” situation, you are putting passion into what you don’t want. When you react to an event negatively, with the response that it is “terrible”, you are putting passion into what you don’t want.
You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Death is sweeter than the blindness of ignorance.
Sri Sathya Sai Baba
Try and fail, but don’t fail to try.

Remember, if you are criticizing, you are not being grateful. If you are blaming, you are not being grateful. If you are complaining, you are not being grateful. If you are feeling tension, you are not being grateful. If you are rushing, you are not being grateful. If you are in a bad mood, you are not being grateful.
We always hear about bucket lists. People putting together lists of
things they want to do for themselves before they die. What about lists
of things they want to do for others? Isn’t that what we’ve been taught.
That” service to man is service to God”. It doesn’t have to be material
things we give to those in need. A smile to one who feels invisible to
the rest of the world can say ” Yes I see you, you’re important too”. A
hug for someone who smiles brightly but hides tears behind tired eyes.
Look closely at the old withered hand that worked so hard yet has no
strength to walk in the garden that was so lovingly tendered. Will it
take too much of your time just to hold that hand while saying thank
you? We can give without always expecting something back. That’s what
love is and we are all capable of it – Unknown source, but supplied by my friend V in South Africa
The journey is the reward – Chinese proverb
Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about learning to dance in the rain.
