it is easy in solitude to live after your own;
but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd
keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinions;
it is easy in solitude to live after your own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Pay attention to rainbows, and snowflakes,
butterflies and the songs of birds, the crash of storm-driven waves and the mirror-surface of a quiet pond. Let the depths of nature become a part of your innermost being. ~Jonathan Lockwood Huie Be Impeccable With Your Word.
Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using your word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love. ~don Miguel Ruiz Live with intention.
Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Appreciate your friends. Continue to learn. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is. ~Mary Anne Radmacher I Receive ALL of Life with Thanksgiving -
I have gratitude for EVERYTHING that has ever occurred to bring me to this moment. I give thanks for the joys and the sufferings, the moments of peace and the flashes of anger, the compassion and the indifference, the roar of my courage and the cold sweat of my fear. I accept gratefully the entirety of my past and my present life. ~Jonathan Lockwood Huie "I would rather be ashes than dust!
I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time." ~Jack London "Pitiful is the person who is afraid of taking risks.
Perhaps this person will never be disappointed or disillusioned; perhaps he won't suffer the way people do when they have a dream to follow. But when the person looks back - and at some point everyone looks back - he will hear his heart, saying, 'What have you done with the miracles that God planted in your days? What have you done with the talents God bestowed on you?'" ~Paulo Coelho |
