The Gift Of Miracles

Some very meaningful and powerful words worth saving for all to share.  May you find the following quotes the same as I thought.  Indeed with the love of God, hope is all we want for tomorrow! " What we are today comes from our thoughts of yesterday,  and our present thoughts build our life of tomorrow:  Our life is the creation of our mind." ~Buddha~  "By three methods we may learn wisdom:  First, by reflection, which is noblest;  Second, by imitation, which is easiest;  and third by experience, which is the bitterest." ~ Confucius~ "Hope is the companion of power, and mother of success;  for who so hopes strongly has within him the gift of miracles." ~Samuel Smiles~

Inner Peace & Joy

" The great teachings unanimously emphasize that  all the peace, wisdom, and joy in the universe are already within us;  we don't have to gain, develop, or attain them.  We're like a child standing in a beautiful park with his eyes shut tight.  We don't need to imagine trees, flowers, deer, birds, and sky;  we merely need to open our eyes and realize what is already here,  who we really are."   ~Bo Lozoff~ I really like the beauty of these fern leaves, they are forever strong and resilient under all circumstances.  They provide us with I believe some insights; in fact we already have within us as to how we could withstand challenges as well.   _________________________________________ 

A Day of Your Life

"This is the beginning of a new day.  You have been given this day to use as you will.  You can waste it or use it for good.   What you do today is important  because you are exchanging a day of your life for it.   When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever;  in its place is something that you have left behind... let it be something good."   ~Author Unknown~

Life Is Beauty

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it. Life is beauty, admire it. Life is bliss, taste it. Life is a dream, realize it. Life is a challenge, meet it. Life is a duty, complete it. Life is a game, play it. Life is a promise, fulfill it. Life is sorrow, overcome it. Life is a song, sing it. Life is a struggle, accept it.  Life is a tragedy, confront it. Life is an adventure, dare it. Life is luck, make it. Life is too precious, do not destroy it. Life is life, fight for it. ~Mother Teresa~

One Way To Happiness

Life has no smooth road for any of us;  and in the bracing atmosphere of a high aim  the very roughness stimulates the climber to steadier steps,  till the legend, over steep ways to the stars, fulfills itself.  Author: W. C. Doan   Don't waste your life in doubts and fears:  spend yourself on the work before you, well assured that  the right performance of this hour's duties  will be the best preparation for the hours or ages that follow it. Author: Ralph Waldo Emerson   There is only one way to happiness,  and that is to cease worrying things which are beyond the power of our will.  Author: Epictetus
