Be Open to Change
“The smallest change in perspective can transform a life. What tiny attitude adjustment might turn your world around?” - Oprah
A Beautiful Thing
''Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.'' - Mother Teresa
The Wonder of You
Look within and you will find
A hidden depth to yourself
Ancient wisdom patiently waiting
For an invitation to participate in your life
When you consult your inner guide
There is no question unanswered
Only our unwillingness to listen
To the soul's knowing truth
Open up to new possibilities no matter how small
And you will notice things beginning to change
Find the courage and confidence to
Venture forth and meet your otherside
Seek clarity, wisdom and freedom
Expand as you've never done before
Embrace all around you
And your inner knowing will shine through.

Limited Perspectives
“If you are pained by external things, it is not they that disturb you, but your own judgment of them. And it is in your power to wipe out that judgment now.” - Marcus Aurelius
Discover the treasures inside
“Happiness cannot be travelled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.'' - Denis Waitley
''The great Western disease is, ‘I'll be happy when… When I get the money. When I get a BMW. When I get this job.’ Well, the reality is, you never get to when. The only way to find happiness is to understand that happiness is not out there. It's in here. And happiness is not next week. It's now.'' - Marshall Goldsmith
Who you are
''Are you the baby who was born so many years ago? Are you the child who frolicked in the sunshine?
Are you the brash young person who dreams of changing the world? Are you the mature and gentle person who has learned the value of acceptance and forgiveness?
You are all of these and more.
You are, in part, the substance of the moments you have experienced, and the hopeful anticipation of times to come.
Yet the person you are goes beyond mere experience and thought. For you are the very awareness that gives it all meaning.
No task is mundane and no day is ordinary when you fully grasp who you are. Nothing is impossible when compared to the marvel and wonder of your existence.
Whatever small or great challenge or event may come, be sure to remember who you are and how miraculous is the fact of being.
And who you are, grows even more capable of giving meaning to it all.'' |
