Earth laughs in flowers. 
~Ralph Waldo Emerson

 

 

I shall not pass this way again;
Then let me now relieve some pain,
remove some barrier from the road,
or brighten someone's heavy load.

~ Eva Rose York

 

Relationships exist so that we may
 discover ourselves, awaken our hearts,
and heal our barriers to love.

Never pass up any opportunity
to share your gifts with the world.

Become comfortable with criticism.
No matter who you are, you cannot
please everyone all of the time.

Home is not where you live but

where they understand you.  

~Christian Morgenstern

"There is no greater joy nor greater reward
than to make a fundamental difference
in someone’s life."

-Sister Mary Rose McGeady

Happiness always looks small while you
hold it in your hands, but let it go, and
you learn at once how big and precious it is. 

~ Maxim Gork

A difficult situation is challenging enough on its own.

Don’t make it worse by adding your own anxiety to it.

Instead, be peacefully and genuinely thankful.

Whatever the circumstances are,

choose to be thankful for the moment

and for your opportunity to experience it.

Sincere, heartfelt thankfulness will calm your spirit

and open your eyes to the positive possibilities.

Instead of being intimidated by the challenges,

you’ll become inspired by the opportunities.

Be thankful for what has happened to bring you to where you are.

After all, what has happened, has happened,

and your best response is to find the value in it.

That value is most definitely there.

By choosing to recognize it, you can make any moment,

and any situation, into a powerful opportunity for making real progress.

When you feel anxiety creeping into your awareness,

overwhelm it with peaceful, genuine thankfulness.

And fill the moment with the power of your best possibilities.
