Why Not Try And See Positive Things

People deal too much with the negative,

with what is wrong.

Why not try and see positive things,

to just touch those things and make them bloom?
-Thich Nhat Hanh

Happiness Never Decreases By Being Shared

Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle,

and the life of the candle will not be shortened.

Happiness never decreases by being shared.

-Buddha

Aim For The Sky ,But Move Slowly

Aim for the sky but move slowly,

enjoying every step along the way.

It is all those little steps

that make the journey complete.

God Has Perfect Timing

God has perfect timing;

never early, never late.

It takes a little patience and it takes a lot of faith

but it's worth the wait.

Leadership Is Not About A Title

Leadership is not about
a title or a designation.
It's about impact,
influence,
and inspiration.

-Robin S. Sharma

What We Do See Depends Mainly On What We Look For

"What we do see depends mainly on what we look for.

In the same field the farmer will notice the crop,

the geologists the fossils,

botanists the flowers,

artists the colouring,

sportmen the cover for the game.

Though we may all look at the same things,

it does not all follow that we should see them.” 

-John Lubbock

Every Sunrise Is A Blessing

Every sunrise is a blessing,

it's an opportunity to learn something new

and to create something that can benefit others.

It also gives a chance to make amends.

Use it wisely before sunset.

-Euginia Herlihy

Thy Crowned Are Locust

"Thy crowned are as the locusts,

and thy captains as the great grasshoppers,

which camp in the hedges in the cold day,

but when the sun ariseth they flee away,

and their place is not known where they are.”

Nahum 3:17 King James Version

Every Day Can End Beautifully

SUNSETS

are proof that no matter

what happens,

every day can end beautifully.

-Kristen Butler

Each Morning We are Born

“Each morning we are born again. 

What we do today is what matters most.”

- Buddha

Flower and Competition

"A flower does not think

of COMPETING

to other flowers next to it.

It just blooms."

-Zen Shin

Face-To-Face

"Being a survivor doesn't mean being STRONG - 

it's telling people when you need
a meal or a ride, company, whatever.

It's paying attention to heart wisdom,
feelings, not living a role,

but having a unique,
authentic life,
having something to contribute,

finding time to love and laugh.

All these things are qualities of survivors."

- Bernie Siegel

Flower Power Tuesday: Patience

"Patience doesn't mean making a pact with the devil of denial,
ignoring our emotions and aspirations.
It means being wholeheartedly engaged in the process that's unfolding,
rather than ripping open a budding flower
or demanding a caterpillar hurry up
and get that chrysalis stage over with."
-Sharon Salzberg

Wordless Wednesday: A New Beginning

When you wake up in the morning,
don't forget to thank God.
Because everyday is a new beginning. 

Why God is not giving want we want right now?

"To every thing there is a season,
and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, a time to die;
a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose;
a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew;
a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate;
A time of war, and a time of peace."
- Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
