| favorite thoughts |
| Whether you believe you can do a thing or not, you are right. ~Henry Ford |
| The real work of our lives is never complete. The very nature of our existence involves the priviledge to evolve. Each of us is a person in process, an on going masterpiece that grows richer and fuller with each rendering. There is not such thing as a "finished person". Whatever your circumstances are, it is your challenge to keep asking yourself the tough questions that will move you forward in life. Joy isn't waiting on the other side of the process. Joy is the process. And if you put your faith in that you'll always land exactly where you should be. The greatest joy lies not in simply being but becoming. ~Oprah |
| No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. ~Eleanor Roosevelt |
| There are no victims, only volunteers. ~Dr. Phil |
| Courage is not the absence of fear but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear. ~Ambrose Redmoon |
| When fear ceases to scare you it can not stay. ~Gary Zukav |
| Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace to today, and creates a vision for tomorrow. ~Melody Beattie |
| The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresay, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference. ~Elie Wiesel |
| One song can spark a moment. One flower can wake the dream. One tree can start a forest. One bird can herald spring. One smile begins a friendship. One handclasp lifts a soul. One star can guide a ship at sea. One word can frame the goal. One vote can change a nation. One sunbeam lights the room. One candle wipes out darkness. One laugh will conquer gloom. One step must start each journey. One word must begin a prayer. One hope will raise our spirits. One touch can show you care. One voice can speak with wisdom. One heart can know what is true. One life can make a difference. One day may it be you. |
| After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul and you learn that love doesn't mean possession and company doesn't mean security. And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises and you begin to accept your defeats with your head head up and your eyes ahead with the grace of an adult not the grief of a child. And you learn to build your roads today because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans and futures have ways of falling down in mid-flight. After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much so you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure that you really are strong and you really do have worth. And you learn... ~Veronica A. Shoffstall |

| The only difference between a rut and a grave...is in their dimensions. ~Ellen Glasglow |
| We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us. ~Joseph Campbell |
| To be nobody - but yourself - in a world which is doing its best night and day to make you everybody else -- means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting. ~e.e cummings |
| Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream by night. ~Edgar Allen Poe |

| The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes. ~Marcel Proust |
