Create Your Life

“My life didn't please me, so I created my life.”

A Hero

"I am convinced that a light supper, a good night's sleep, and a fine morning, have sometimes made a hero of the same man, who, by an indigestion, a restless night, and rainy morning, would have proved a coward." - Lord Chesterfield

Being Beautiful

~Thich Nhat Hanh

Our Own Lives

"The world is perfect. It's a mess. It has always been a mess. Our job is to straighten out our own lives." - Joseph Campbell

You Belong

Be the One

"Life can beat us down. The insensitivity of people can deter us from following our path. Let not the darkness of others diminish your spirit. Rise above the madness. Be the strong one. Be the one that not only survives but transcends. Be the one who reaches through the darkness to guide people into the light. Be the one who seeks to change the world for the better. Be the one who respects the gift of life. Be the one who creates a new reality where love and spirit flow through everything. Be the one." - Michael Teal
