Harmony

“Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed. Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well.” - Mahatma Gandhi

Action

“Thought is the blossom; language the bud; action the fruit behind it” - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Reach high

“Reach high, for stars lie hidden in your soul. Dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal.” – Pamela Vaull Starr

Look within

‎"Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakens."Carl Jung1875-1961, Psychiatrist

Winners

"History has demonstrated that the most notable winners usually encountered heartbreaking obstacles before they triumphed. They won because they refused to become discouraged by their defeats."Bertie Charles Forbes

Dreams awake

“Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake.” – Henry David Thoreau

Hand in Hand

‎"Remember, we all stumble, every one of us. That's why it's a comfort to go hand in hand." - Emily Kimbrough

Loving Relationship

“A loving relationship is one in which the loved one is free to be himself -- to laugh with me, but never at me; to cry with me, but never because of me; to love life, to love himself, to love being loved. Such a relationship is based upon freedom and can never grow in a jealous heart.” - Leo F. Buscaglia

Attitude

"Any fact facing us is not as important as our attitude toward it, for that determines our success or failure. The way you think about a fact may defeat you before you ever do anything about it. You are overcome by the fact because you think you are." - Norman Vincent Peale

Self vs Others

"Never forget: the secret of creating riches for oneself is to create them for others." - Sir John Templeton

His Graces

we fail to take cognizance of the many wonderful graces we have received from Him with respect to our faith, life, health, material sufficiency, loved ones and friends. How often have we taken the blessings that God has given to us! Miracles are happening all around us every day and yet we are so blind to the wondrous works that God is doing for us and with us each day. We fail to see these as signs from God, tokens of His love and mercy for us.

Taken for granted

Not only do we take God and our faith for granted, we take our loved ones for granted as well. We are more grateful to strangers or to acquaintances who help us with small favours now and then, rather than to our friends and loved ones who spend much time and resources on us. The love and kindness shown to us by our spouse and intimate friends seem to be something owed to us and not perceived as graces given to us. When we take people for granted, especially those who are close to us, we do not grow in our love for them

Press On

Thank God we can press on to what He has in store for us. In the meantime we need to keep our hand to the plow and quit looking back to what once was and will never be again.- joyce meyer

Positive Attitude

A positive attitude enables you to make the best of every situation, and that gives you power over your circumstances instead of allowing your circumstances to have power over you.

Love

It's not how much we give but how much love we put into giving.- Mother Teresa

Destiny

People don't determine your destiny; God does. Don't get caught up in the negativity around you. Instead, trust God and charge forward to His great destiny for you!

Self Discovery

There can be no question of discovering one’s vocation without prayer and a deep intimacy with God. Finding one’s vocation is not simply a question of a rational analysis of what we want to do in life. Vocation is not revealed to “the learned and the clever.” Vocation originates from prayer life. Only a personal intimacy with the Lord can help us to acquire the heart of the Good Shepherd. Only in prayer, will the Lord reveal Himself to us mere children, who know Him and who share in His love

Be True to yourself

"ALWAYS be true to yourself, even if it seems as if you're being difficult. Others can subtly or explicitly undermine you & it may seem okay for them to get away with it; and if you allow them to because of how you might appear, then it's YOU who needs to step into your power. Give yourself permission to express what you truly feel & trust that the outcome will be for the highest good of all concerned." - Helen Lee

Put into action

‎"Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire, and begin at once, whether you're ready or not, to put it into action."- Napoleon Hill

Dare to Dream

"Even the wildest dreams have to start somewhere. Allow yourself the time and space to let your mind wander and your imagination fly.” - Oprah Winfrey

Gentle & Humble

So let us never ever think that success in our work or ministry is due to our hard work and ingenuity. Everything and all glory belongs to Him alone! That is why Jesus said, “learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Yes, my yoke is easy and my burden light.” Yes, learn humility from Him and we will find rest from all anxieties and rest for our souls.

God Knows

God sees and acts for us because He hears our cries and sees our miseries and feels our pain and woundedness. He did not act to show and display how powerful and mighty He is! When there is love, no one speaks of duty and if there is burden, it is always light!

Take Action

"Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence. Inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear. Perhaps the action you take will be successful; perhaps different action or adjustments will have to follow. But any action is better than no action at all." - Norman Vincent Peale

True Self

To show our emotions, to be vulnerable, to open ourselves fully, without holding back, is the most beautiful thing we can ever do. I think it is by bearing yourself that you progress in your growth and become a stronger person. The more you open yourself up, the more you’ll grow.

Letting Go

There are things that we never want to let go of, people we never want to leave behind. But keep in mind that letting go isn’t the end of the world, it’s the beginning of a new life.– Author Unknown

be at your best

Expand your reality to the point where you pursue what you love doing and excel at it. Involve yourself in high-energy levels of trust, optimism, appreciation, reverence, joy, and love when you engage in every activity in your life. - Dr. Wayne Dyer

Silent reflection

Spend some time in awe of your mind and what it is capable of creating for you. Contemplate your inner kingdom and refuse to allow thoughts into that sacred space that might pollute it in any way. - Dr. Wayne Dyer

self reflection

Refuse to ever use the term "failure" again about yourself or anyone else. Remind yourself that when things didn't go as planned you didn't fail, you only produced a result. Then ask yourself this powerfully life-enhancing question, "What am I going to do with the results I've produced?" And proceed to act in such a way as to be grateful rather than resentful for those less than glorious results. - Dr. Wayne Dyer

Persistence

Persistence is the power to hold on in spite of everything - to endure. It’s the ability to face defeat repeatedly without giving up—to push on even in the face of great difficulty or danger. Persistence means taking pains to overcome every obstacle, to do all that is necessary to reach your goals. You win, because you refuse to become discouraged by your defeats. Those who conquer are those who endure.

Be yourself

We are each creating our lives through our thoughts and feelings, and so you cannot hold yourself responsible for someone else’s happiness because you cannot jump inside someone else and think and feel for them. Focus on your joy, and be an inspiration to everyone around you. (The Secret Daily Teachings)

Set your sights high

‎"Set your sights high, the higher the better. Expect the most wonderful things to happen, not in the future but right now. Realize that nothing is too good. Allow absolutely nothing to hamper you or hold you up in any way." - Eileen Caddy, Author

Be the change

You must be the change you wish to see in the world." - Mahatma Gandhi

Ask & Believe

From the moment you’re born, you have a cosmic partner who never leaves your side. This cosmic partner has unbelievable ways of doing anything you want. Time is no obstacle and size is no problem for your cosmic partner. And all you have to do is follow the cosmic rules. Ask, and then really believe that in the moment you ask, what you desire is already yours. (The Secret Daily Teachings)

Decisions

“It's not what's happening to you now or what has happened in your past that determines who you become. Rather, it's your decisions about what to focus on, what things mean to you, and what you're going to do about them that will determine your ultimate destiny.” - Anthony Robbins

Move on

“Don't dwell on what went wrong. Instead, focus on what to do next. Spend your energies on moving forward toward finding the answer.” - Denis Waitley

Passions propel our vessel

“Our passions are the winds that propel our vessel. Our reason is the pilot that steers her. Without winds the vessel would not move and without a pilot she would be lost.” – Proverb

Create

“Whatever you create in your life you must first create in your imagination.” - Tycho Photiou

Find your passion

“If there is no passion in your life, then have you really lived? Find your passion, whatever it may be. Become it, and let it become you and you will find great things happen FOR you, TO you and BECAUSE of you.” - T. Alan Armstrong

Love what you do

“You have to find something that you love enough to be able to take risks, jump over the hurdles and break through the brick walls that are always going to be placed in front of you. If you don't have that kind of feeling for what it is you’re doing, you’ll stop at the first giant hurdle.” — George Lucas

Gratitude

To speak gratitude is courteous and pleasant, to enact gratitude is generous and noble, but to live gratitude is to touch Heaven.- Johannes A. Gaertner

Passion

“Your profession is not what brings home your paycheck. Your profession is what you were put on earth to do with such passion and such intensity that it becomes spiritual in calling.” — Vincent Van Gogh

Wealth

“Wealth, like happiness, is never attained when sought after directly. It comes as a by-product of providing a useful service.” - Henry Ford

Servant Leadership

“The question for each man to settle is not what he would do if he had means, time, influence, and educational advantages, but what he will do with the things he has.” - Hamilton Wright Mabie

Who am I around?

"You must constantly ask yourself these questions: Who am I around? What are they doing to me? What have they got me reading? What have they got me saying? Where do they have me going? What do they have me thinking? And most important, what do they have me becoming? Then ask yourself the big question: Is that okay? Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change." - Jim Rohn

Deepest Desires

‎"So let your deepest desires direct your aim. Set your sights far above the 'reasonable' target. The power of purpose is profound only if you have a desire that stirs the heart." - Price Pritchett

Direction

‎"Don't concern yourself too much with how you are going to achieve your goal - leave that completely to a power greater than yourself. All you have to do is know where you're going. The answers will come to you of their own accord, and at the right time." - Earl Nightingale - 1921-1989, Syndicated Radio Announcer and Author

Independence of Solitude

‎"It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of a crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude"-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Gratitude

“Gratitude bestows reverence, allowing us to encounter everyday epiphanies, those transcendent moments of awe that change forever how we experience life and the world.” - John Milton

Solidarity

Solidarity is when we freely choose to stand side by side with someone, especially the suffering and our actions say " we are in this together"

Love Yourself

“Love yourself—accept yourself—forgive yourself—and be good to yourself, because without you the rest of us are without a source of many wonderful things.” - Leo F. Buscaglia
