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

    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

          “If you are afraid to write or edit or assemble or disassemble, you are merely a spectator. And you are trapped, trapped by the instructions of those you’ve chosen to follow. Twenty people in the field and eighty thousand in the stands. The spectators are the ones who paid to watch, but it’s the player on the field who are truly alive.” ~ Seth Godin, The Icarus Deception

            “In life you can never be too kind or too fair; everyone you meet is carrying a heavy load. When you go through your day expressing kindness and courtesy to all you meet, you leave behind a feeling of warmth and good cheer, and you help alleviate the burdens everyone is struggling with.” ~ Brian Tracy

              "You must unlearn what you have been programmed to believe since birth. That software no longer serves you if you want to live in a world where all things are possible." ~ Jacqueline E. Purcell

                "You must understand the whole of life, not just one little part of it. That is why you must read, that is why you must look at the skies, that is why you must sing and dance, and write poems, and suffer and understand, for all that is life." ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti

                  “We are not here merely to make a living. We are here to enrich the world with a finer spirit of hope and achievement- and we impoverish ourselves if we forget the errand.” ~ Woodrow Wilson

                    “Have faith in yourself. But have faith in your friends and neighbors, too. I know life is competitive- but it isn’t a jungle. Like begets like. Faith inspires faith. People give back substantially what we give them.“ ~ Bethany College

                      Life is too short to spend time with people who suck the happiness out of you.

                      Life is too short to spend time with people who suck the happiness out of you.

                        “Tomorrow and plans for tomorrow can have no significance at all unless you are in full contact with the reality of the present, since it is in the present and only in the present that you live. There is no other reality than present reality, so that, even if one were to live for endless ages, to live for the future would be to miss the point everlastingly.” ~ Alan Watts, The Wisdom of Insecurity

                          “I’ve learned that, without a strong reason or purpose, anything in life is hard.”

                          Robert Kiyosaki, Rich Dad Poor Dad (Page 204)

                            Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behavior. Keep your behavior positive because your behavior becomes your habits. Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny. ~ Mahatma Ghandi

                              “We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools.” ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.

                                "You don't become happy by pursuing happiness. You become happy by living a life that means something."

                                “You don’t become happy by pursuing happiness.  You become happy by living a life that means something.”

                                  “Every piece of the universe, even the tiniest little snow crystal, matters somehow. I have a place in the pattern, and so do you.” ~ T.A. Barron

                                      ‎”Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will find them gradually, without noticing it, and live along some distant day into the answer.” ~ Rainer Maria Rilke
