Simple Everyday Thoughts !

You simply have to put one foot in front of the other
and keep going. Put blinders on and plow right ahead.

One must work and dare if one really wants to live.
~Vincent Van Gogh

The fishermen know that the sea is dangerous and the storm
terrible, but they have never found these dangers sufficient
reason for remaining ashore.

If you hear a voice within you say "you cannot paint,"
then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.

Great things are done by a series of small things
brought together.

Even the knowledge of my own fallibility cannot keep me
from making mistakes. Only when I fall do I get up again.

Write it on your heart that every day is the best day
in the year.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up
every time we fail.

The reward of a thing well done is having done it.

An ounce of action is worth a ton of theory.

I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost
almost 300 games. I've failed over and over and over again
in my life. And that is why I succeed.
~Michael Jordan

I've always believed that if you put in the work, the results
will come. I don't do things half-heartedly. Because I know if
I do, then I can expect half-hearted results.

I've always believed that if you put in the work, the results
will come.

Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen,
others make it happen.

My attitude is that if you push me towards something that
you think is a weakness, then I will turn that perceived
weakness into a strength.

Reflections On Death

Love, Work & Give as if you'll die tonight. Dream Like Children as if you're gonna live forever. To gain an understanding of the shortness and preciousness of life and how to make it meaningful we need to reflect on the fact that death is certain and that the time of death is uncertain. These points may seem obvious but we rarely stop to accept the truth of them. When we consider that death is certain we can reflect on several points :: there is no possible way to escape death [nobody ever has], life has a definite, inflexible limit and each moment brings us closer to the end of this life, and death comes in a moment and it's time is unexpected [and even while alive we devote very little of our life to spiritual practice]. When reflecting on the fact that the time of death in uncertain we can analyse this further by recognising that :: the duration of our lifespan is uncertain young people can die before old people, the healthy before the sick, etc. ther...

Swami Vivekananda On Love !

I once had a friend who grew to be very close to me. Once when we were sitting at the edge of a swimming pool, she filled the palm of her hand with some water and held it before me, and said this: "You see this water carefully contained on my hand? It symbolizes Love." This was how I saw it: As long as you keep your hand caringly open and allow it to remain there, it will always be there. However, if you attempt to close your fingers round it and try to posses it, it will spill through the first crack it finds. This is the greatest mistake that people do when they meet love...they try to posses it, they demand, they expect... and just like the water spilling out of your hand, love will retrieve from you . For love is meant to be free, you cannot change its nature. If there are people you love, allow them to be free beings. Give and don't expect. Advise, but don't order. Ask, but never demand. It might sound simple, but it is a lesson that may take a lifetime to truly ...

Some Thoughts... !!..

Neti ! Neti ! Neti ! ~Quintessence Of All Vedas I gained nothing at all from Supreme Enlightenment, and for that very reason it is called Supreme Enlightenment. ~Lord Buddha Life is the sum of all your choices. ~Albert Camus There are years that ask questions, and years that answer. ~Zora Neale Hurston People spend a lifetime searching for happiness; looking for peace. They chase idle dreams, addictions, religions, even other people, hoping to fill the emptiness that plagues them. The irony is the only place they ever needed to search was within. ~Ramona L. Anderson Open your heart - open it wide; someone is standing outside. ~ Mary Engelbreit [Believe: A Christmas Treasury] Listen to the still, small voice. Every time you finish anything, stop, sit (if possible), relax, and ask "Now what?" Listen for the answer. Then do it. ~Author Unknown "...God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble." ~1 Peter 5:5 One can remain alive ...
