Journey

"Your journey has molded you for your greater good, and it was exactly what it needed to be. Don't think that you've lost time. There is no short-cutting to life. It took each and every situation you have encountered to bring you to the now. And now is right on time." - Asha Tyson

Business

"A business has to be involving, it has to be fun, and it has to exercise your creative instincts." - Richard Branson

- Sheng Yen

Perfect

"Don't wait until conditions are perfect to begin. Beginning makes conditions perfect."

- Alan Cohen

Great Things

Withholding

"Whatever you think the world is withholding from you, you are withholding from the world." - Eckhart Tolle

Abandonment

"The original abandonment, the original abuse, the original horror has some reason and meaning in it. It is not senseless. It is not like being run down like a dog on the highway. Its meaning most often is the development of tremendous strength, tremendous power, tremendous intuition. And I will tell you frankly that most of the people who are the greatest healers living on the face of this earth are unmothered children. One of the great gifts of the un-mothered child and also the healer, and the writer and the musician and all those in the arts who live so close with their ear against the heartbeat of the archetypal unconscious - one of their strongest aspects is intuition." 

- Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes

Plans

When defeat comes, accept it as a signal that your plans are not sound, rebuild those plans, and set sail once more toward your coveted goal." - Napoleon Hill

Talent

"Whatever you are by nature, keep to it; never desert your line of talent. Be what nature intended you for, and you will succeed." - Sydney Smith

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

Meaning

"The meaning of life is to give life meaning."
 - Ken Hudgins

Saving

"Splurging activates dopamine and opiate receptors. Saving activates serotonin."

 ~  Teresa Ghilarducci

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

“The lesson will always repeat itself, unless you see yourself as the problem - not others." - Shannon Alder

 

Memories

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