Where man sees but withered leaves,
God sees sweet flowers growing.

Albert Laighton

 
 

Greet the day, and be glad to be alive.
Be gladdened by all the experiences
in store for you. Each is making a necessary
contribution to your wholeness.

 It is truly the little and simple things that
we take for granted. Don't miss out on a
blessing because it isn't packaged in a
size pleasing to our eyes nor the
way that we expect.

Remember the five simple rules

to be happy:

Free your heart from hatred.

your mind from worries.

Live simply.

Give more.

Expect less.

We are all inventors,

each sailing out on a voyage of discovery,

guided each by a private chart,

of which there is no duplicate.

The world is all gates,

all opportunities.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

 

Relationships are like glass.

Sometimes it’s better to leave 

them broken than try to

hurt yourself 

putting it back together.

Power in every choice

 
Whatever fills your awareness most intensely 

is what you will bring to life. 

Instead of filling your awareness with excuses, 

fill it with passion.

With your moments, your skills, 

your words and your actions 

you will change your world today. 

Choose to let that change be driven 

by what you love rather than by what you fear.

Focus on the good things, on the possibilities, 

and on those dreams and values 

that are your most authentic. 

Make yourself the living embodiment 

of the best you can imagine.

Your life is constantly shaped 

by the way you live it, 

the way you think of it 

and the way you feel it. 

Even the smallest things have an influence, 

and all those things combine together 

to build the life you experience.

Every day is an opportunity 

to more fully express the unique beauty 

of who you are. 

Every situation is one in which you 

can choose to give rich substance 

and meaning to your world.

Feel the power that exists in every choice, 

and in every moment. 

Use that power wisely 

and purposefully, 

and live life at its best.

Ralph Marston

 

“Your life will always be, to a large extent, what you make it.”

 
Your life is yours. 

You own it, and what you make of it is purely up to you. 

Others may support you in your aspirations, 

but, in the end, it’s your creation.

You are your one and only boss, 

and with that awareness comes a special responsibility.

Once you accept this responsibility 

and stop waiting around for others to make you happy,

 you will become unstoppable. 

There will be no denying you. 

Your life will change, 

all because of you.

So, turn on the green light and go!
