Begin bringing peace to the outer world
by regaining your own inner peace.

choose forgiveness, choose peace.
Begin with your own inner peace.
Then use that inner peace

to approach the outer world
with perspective, understanding, and patience.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

is not a decision about what to do.
It's a decision about Who You Are.

turn into opportunities to do what you came here to do.
- Neale Donald Walsch

Finish each day and be done with it.
You have done what you could;

to be encumbered with your old nonsense.

Today, like every other day, we wake up empty
and frightened. Don't open the door to the study
and begin reading. Take down a musical instrument.

There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.
- Rumi (Persian poet 1207-1273)

When we come into the present,
we begin to feel the life around us again,

our pain, our desires, our grief,
our loss, our secret hopes our love -
everything that moves us most deeply.
- Jack Kornfield

Before you can forgive others,
you must be a person whose forgiveness matters.
Before you can have gratitude for your life,
you must believe that your life has value.
Before your choices have value,
you must feel that you yourself have value.
Before you can dream a great dream for your future,
you have to believe that your future matters.
Before you can build positive habits of resolve and commitment,
before you can begin to live into the Japanese proverb,
"Fall seven times, stand up eight,"
you must believe that your life matters.
Before you can celebrate your life, you must Honor it.
And, before you can feel unity with,
and Honor toward, Spirit and all creation,
you must Honor yourself to feel worthy of that unity.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does.
Love is a battle, love is a war; love is a growing up.
- James A. Baldwin

When you follow your bliss, you put yourself on a kind of track
that has been there all the while waiting for you,
and the life you ought to be living is the one you are living.
When you can see that, you begin to meet people
who are in the field of your bliss,
and they open the doors to you.
I say, follow your bliss and don't be afraid,
and doors will open where you didn't know they were going to be.
If you follow your bliss,
doors will open for you that wouldn't have opened for anyone else.
- Joseph Campbell

Great relationships begin with two people who are each
self confident and who come to each other with the openness

If there is true love and an alignment of fundamental values,
choose to join your life with your new partner
and vow never to criticize their nature -
the essence that makes them uniquely themselves.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Laugh when you can,
apologize when you should,
and let go of what you can't change.
Life's too short to be anything... but happy.

If your soul has no Sunday, it becomes an orphan.

The world is beyond the winning.
