              Shakespeare Picture Quote

                "Absorb what is useful, Discard what is not, Add what is uniquely your own." ~ Bruce Lee

                  “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 comes to me as seed goes to the next as blossom and that which comes to me as blossom, goes on as fruit.” ~ Dawna Markova

                    “Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.”  ~ Buddha

                    Kimo’s Hawaiian Rules

                      Never judge a day by the weather

                      The best things in life aren’t things

                      Tell the truth – there’s less to remember

                      Speak softly and wear a loud shirt

                      Goals are deceptive – the unaimed arrow never misses

                      He who dies with the most toys – still dies

                      Age is relative – when you’re over the hill, you pick up speed

                      There are two ways to be rich – make more or desire less

                      Beauty is internal – looks mean nothing

                      No Rain – No Rainbows

                        “It’s okay to be sad when you mess up, but don’t dwell for too long. The mistake has already been made, and you can’t erase the fact that it happened. You can either learn from it or mope about it. The choice is yours, but remember, we are only human; we were born to make mistakes.  Simply put, if you have never made a mistake in your life, then that means that you have never taken a risk.  Taking risks means that you go outside of your comfort zone – that you go outside of your boundaries. The most successful people are the ones who are not afraid to give it their all and possibly humiliate themselves greatly in front of others.  It’s like that one saying, ‘The person who asks a question is a fool for five minutes, but the person who never asks and remains silent is a fool forever.’  You choose the way you want to live your life.” ~ Cynthia Amy Tang

                          “What you choose to focus your mind on is critical because you will become what you think about most of the time.” ~ Noel Peebles

                            “Often he who does too much does too little.” ~ Italian Proverb

                              “We in the richest societies have too many calories even as we starve for beautiful, fresh food; we have overly large houses but lack spaces that truly embody our individuality and connectedness; media surround us everywhere while we starve for authentic communication. We are offered entertainment every second of the day but lack the chance to play. In the ubiquitous world of money, we hunger for all that is intimate, personal and unique.” ~ Charles Eistenstein

                                “There is nothing the busy man is less busied with than living; there is nothing harder to learn.” ~ Seneca

                                  “It is doubtful anyone of us will ever have it all figured out, knowing exactly what is right and wrong in each and every circumstance. But this life is too vast, too open, and too messy to be so easily deciphered and conquered. What we can hope for, and what we can accomplish, is to garner a deeper understanding and appreciation for this life, and through continued questioning and investigation live honorably.” ~ Jacob M. Held, Dr. Seuss and Philosophy

                                    “We shall sooner have the bird by hatching the egg than by smashing it.” ~ Abraham Lincoln

                                      “The more you eat, the less flavor; the less you eat, the more flavor.”  ~ Chinese Proverb
