    “My whole life I’ve been telling myself, ‘don’t be afraid’. And it is only now that I’m realizing how stupid that is. Don’t be afraid. Like saying, ‘don’t move out of the way when someone tries to punch you’ or ‘don’t flinch at the heat of fire’ or ‘don’t blink’. Don’t be human. I’m afraid and you’re afraid and we’re all always going to be afraid, because that’s the point. What I should be telling myself is ‘be afraid, but do it anyway’. Live anyway.” ~ Unknown

      "In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: It goes on." ~ Robert Frost

        Laugh, Party, Travel, Think, Advise, Care, and Love like you're...

          The World Ain't all Sunshine and Rainbows...

            “This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one… the being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.” ~ George Bernard Shaw

            She is Gone!

              You can shed tears that she is gone,

              or you can smile because she has lived.

              You can close your eyes and pray that she’ll come back,

              or you can open your eyes and see all she’s left.

              Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her,

              or you can be full of the love you shared.

              You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,

              or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.

              You can remember her only that she is gone,

              or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.

              You can cry and close your mind,

              be empty and turn your back.

              Or you can do what she’d want:

              smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

              ~ David Harkins

              I Will Not Die An Unlived Life.

                I will not die an unlived life.

                I will not live in fear

                of falling or catching fire.

                I choose to inhabit my days,

                to allow my living to open me,

                to make me less afraid,

                more accessible;

                to loosen my heart

                until it becomes a wing,

                a torch, a promise.

                I choose to risk my significance,

                to live so that which came to me as seed

                goes to the next as blossom,

                and that which came to me as blossom,

                goes on as fruit.

                ~ Dawna Markova

                  ‎"Think of yourself as dead. You have lived your life. Now, take what's left, and live it properly." ~ Marcus Aurelius

                    I am just striving to be more me than I have ever been

                        “To venture causes anxiety, but not to venture is to lose one’s self… And to venture in the highest is precisely to be conscious of one’s self.” ~ Soren Kierkegaard

                          “A mature person is one who does not think only in absolutes, who is able to be objective even when deeply stirred emotionally, who has learned that there is both good and bad in all people and in all things, and who walks humbly and deals charitably with the circumstances of life, knowing that in this world no one is all-knowing and therefore all of us need both love and charity.” ~ Eleanor Roosevelt

                            "Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens." ~ Jimi Hendrix

                              Isn't it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet?

                                "You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition." ~ Alan Alda

                                  Make anything but excuses. Create anything but barriers.

                                    ...All you need is less.

                                      “You learn to swim by swimming. You learn courage by couraging. ~ Mary Daly

                                          “The rest of the world isn’t nearly as important as the few who are here.” ~ Seth Godin, The Icarus Deception
