      “Be true to yourself.
      Make each day your masterpiece.
      Help others.

      Build a shelter against a rainy day.
      Pray for guidance and give thanks for your blessings every day.”
      ~ John Wooden

                “When you share love grows, happiness doubles, and sorrow is halved. A life shared is twice as good with half the troubles. A dessert shared tastes twice as nice with half the calories. When you share, you end up with more of what counts and give it to someone else.” ~ Nancy Plum

                      “The sexiest thing in the entire world is being really smart. And being thoughtful, and being generous.  Everything else is crap, I promise you.  It’s just crap that people try to sell to you to make you feel like less. So don’t buy it. Be smart, be thoughtful and be generous.  Everything around us that we call life was made up of people that are no smarter than you. And you can build your own things, you can build your own life that other people can live in. So build a life — don’t just live one, build one.” ~Ashton Kutcher

                            “I don’t live in either my past or my future. I’m interested only in the present. If you can concentrate always on the present, you’ll be a happy man. Life will be a party for you, a grand festival, because life is the moment we’re living now.” ~ Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

                              “We are travelers on a cosmic journey, stardust, swirling and dancing in the eddies and whirlpools of infinity. Life is eternal. We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share.  This is a precious moment. It is a little parenthesis in eternity.” ~ Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
