What You Do

“What you do proves what you believe.” – Simon Sinek

Emotions

"Emotions are the next frontier to be understood and conquered. To manage our emotions is not to drug them or suppress them, but to understand them so that we can intelligently direct our emotional energies and intentions.... It's time for human beings to grow up emotionally, to mature into emotionally managed and responsible citizens. No magic pill will do it."
- Doc Childre

Creative Storm

"Rise to meet that which you desire, rise to each occasion. Let your beauty fill the sky with thunder. Bring on the creative storm. The power of desire is potent. In rising to meet it, we remove it from the realm of pure fantasy and free up the energy of action. Fantasy, while giving us hope, can also keep us static, becoming just another story that saps our life force. Fantasy that shifts into desire becomes the energy that feeds our work and infuses our lives with deep satisfaction. When it is rooted in fear, envy, or apathy, fantasy remains in the realm of 'someday.' The potency of desire brings us into the now, freeing us up to walk more fully into our lives." ~ T. Thorn Coyle, Evolutionary Witchcraft

Life Backwards

"Often people attempt to live their lives backwards: they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want so they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then do what you love to do, in order to have what you want." - Margaret Young

Innovation

"Innovation is not about saying yes to everything. It's about saying NO to all but the most crucial features." - Steve Jobs

Our Feelings

"Our feelings are our most genuine paths to knowledge."
- Audre Lorde

A Healthy Way

"One thing we can do is make the choice to view the world in a healthy way. We can choose to see the world as safe with only moments of danger rather than seeing the world as dangerous with only moments of safety."  - Deepak Chopra

The Lesson

Memories

"Memories of our lives, of our works and our deeds will continue in others." - Rosa Parks

Success

"There are many kinds of success in life worth having."

     - Theodore Roosevelt

Firm Foundation

“A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him.”
 - David Brinkley

Difficulties

"Real difficulties can be overcome. It is only the imaginary ones that are unconquerable." - Theodore Vail

 

 

Change

"Any change, even a change for the better, is always accompanied by drawbacks and discomforts." - Arnold Bennett

What We Desire

"If we go down into ourselves, we find that we possess exactly what we desire."
- Simone Weil

Empower You

"Do not accept any prediction that does not empower you." - Sean Stephenson

Shine

"I hate to see you shine, especially if you're shine is outshining mine." - Neyo

Too Small

"Anything or anyone that does not bring you alive is too small for you."

 

                 - David Whyte

Mistakes

“Mistakes are the portals of discovery.” ~ James Joyce

Nourshing Our Souls

"We have to decide for ourselves what's nourishing to our souls, and do those things over others."
                          - Thomas Moore
