There are no mistakes, no coincidences.
All events are blessings given to us to learn from.

You are not here merely to make a living.
You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply,
with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement.
You are here to enrich the world,
and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.

Woodrow Wilson

Many risks fail because they were not taken in time.
Too many risks are postponed
until unnecessarily elaborate preparations are made.
This does not mean that one should say,
"Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!"
That is foolish and self-destructive....
But don't sit back waiting for the perfect moment.
It almost never comes.

happiness was born a twin.

God is a comedian playing to an audience too afraid to laugh.

Voltaire

l i v i n g..f r o m..t h e..h e a r t

The thought manifests as the word;
The word manifests as the deed;
The deed develops into habit;
And habit hardens into character.

So watch the thought and its ways with care,
And let it spring from love;
Born out of concern for all beings.

Buddha

You learn to speak by speaking, to study by studying,
to run by running, to work by working;
and just so, you learn to love by loving.
Those who think to learn in any other way deceive themselves.

Saint Francis de Sales

A t t i t u d e

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.

Attitude, to me, is more important than facts.

It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people say or do.

It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill.

It will make or break a company… a church… a home.

The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.

We cannot change the inevitable.

The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude…

I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it.

And so it is with you…

We are in charge or our Attitudes.

There are only two ways to live your life.
One is as though nothing is a miracle.
The other is as if everything is.

Albert Einstein
