“Start each day with a positive thought and a grateful heart.” — Roy T. Bennett
Does the world seem void of beauty ?
Does your home with shade abound ?
Then this is your binding duty:
Be the brightest thing around.
Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow. ~ Melody Beattie
“This is a wonderful day. I’ve never seen this one before.” ~ Maya Angelou
I went waking through a nature center. I paused for a moment and looked at the clear blue south Texas sky. I spotted red-tailed hawk gracefully gliding through the endless sky. Each of the hawk’s movements were a testament to the hawk doing what it was designed to do. I think that’s the way it is with each of us when we discover what are destined to do. We do it effortlessly and with a deep sense of joy. It no longer is work. It becomes passion set to music.
Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.” ~ Albert Einstein
You can’t cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water. ~ Rabindranath Tagore
Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness. ~ Desmond Tutu
We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us. ~ Charles Bukowski
Setbacks happen. They happen to everyone. How we respond when we’re knocked down makes all the difference in our lives. Some people turn to anger, resentment, and revenge. Others remain frozen unable to come to grips with the reality that they failed. And others, shake it off, learn from the setback, and forge ahead never looking back. Motivational consultant Og Mandino wrote, “Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough.” A setback gives us the opportunity to learn, rise after a fall, and to dig deep inside and move forward. Develop a never quit attitude. Always confidently move forward seizing every opportunity to do good and make a difference.
