    “Do the things you used to talk about doing but never did. Know when to let go and when to hold on tight. Stop rushing. Don’t be intimidated to say it like it is. Stop apologizing all the time. Learn to say no, so your yes has some oomph. Spend time with the friends who lift you up, and cut loose the ones who bring you down. Stop giving your power away. Be more concerned with being interested than being interesting. Be old enough to appreciate your freedom, and young enough to enjoy it. Finally know who you are.” ~ Kristin Armstrong

    The 10 Universal Laws of the Warrior Code by Dawn Callen

      1. Pay Attention. Stay in the present. It’s the only place anything real is happening.
      2. Take Responsibility. This is your life, take it back. Either you get to own it or you get to blame someone or something else for it. Choose.
      3. No Kvetching (to complain persistently). No whining, no sniveling – it takes you out of the present and lets you abdicate responsibility.
      4. Don’t Take Any Abuse. It’s very bad for ones self esteem to take any abuse. Stand up to your tyrants, both internal and external. The cost is too great not to.
      5. Do It Anyway. Hard choices temper our strength and our integrity; they make the difference between a life of excellence and a life of mediocrity.
      6. Don’t Quit. Look at what stops you, at where you give the effort up. That is the edge between becoming a victim or a warrior.
      7. Keep Your Agreements. A warrior is only as good as his or her word. The way we build self-trust and trust in others is by making and keeping agreements.
      8. Keep Your Sense of Humor. Otherwise what’s the point? Humor helps us to stretch beyond our own limits and ourselves.
      9. Love One Another. Otherwise where’s the meaning? It’s the way we remember we’re not alone in the universe.
      10. Honor Your Connection To The Source. There is a force in the universe, greater than ourselves that creates us, provides for us, cares for us, guides us, and loves us. It speaks to us from within. Trust it.

      Be Thankful

        “Be thankful that you don’t already have everything you desire,
        If you did, what would there be to look forward to?
        Be thankful when you don’t know something
        For it gives you the opportunity to learn.

        Be thankful for the difficult times.
        During those times you grow.
        Be thankful for your limitations
        Because they give you opportunities for improvement.
        Be thankful for each new challenge
        Because it will build your strength and character.

        Be thankful for your mistakes
        They will teach you valuable lessons.
        Be thankful when you’re tired and weary
        Because it means you’ve made a difference.
        It is easy to be thankful for the good things.
        A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are
        also thankful for the setbacks.

        GRATITUDE can turn a negative into a positive.
        Find a way to be thankful for your troubles
        and they can become your blessings.”

          “Who are we, if not measured by our impact on others? That’s who we are! We’re not who we say we are, we’re not who we want to be – we are the sum of the influence and impact that we have, in our lives, on others.” ~ Carl Sagan

            “Time is the most valuable coin in your life. You and you alone will determine how that coin will be spent. Be careful that you do not let other people spend it for you.” ~ Carl Sandburg

              “You don’t really pay for things with money, you pay for them with time. In five years, I’ll have put enough away to buy that vacation house we want. Then I’ll slow down. That means the house will cost you five years – one-twelfth of your adult life. Translate the dollar value of the house, car, or anything else into time, and then see if it’s still worth it.” ~ Charles Spezzano, Author
