There are two ways
of spreading Light:
to be the candle,
or the mirror that
reflects it.

"May the music of the meadow
with its songs of silver streams
bring sunlight to the path you walk
and magic to your dreams."



           




"If the big picture is confusing,
Concentrate on figuring out
The hour-to-hour mysteries."


















           
"Nothing real can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.
Therein lies the peace of God."

from A Course in Miracles











               


"Real fulfillment comes only when we
first tune into our inner direction
and divine guidance.
That helps unite heaven and earth."

James Redfield








                       


"Home is not a physical place in the outside world,
but an inner quality of relaxation and acceptance."










"How To Be Unhappy"

Make little things bother you.
Don't just let them, MAKE them.

Lose your perspective on things and keep it lost:
don't put first things first.

Get yourself a good worry,
one about which you cannot do anything.

Be a perfectionist, which means not that you
work hard to do your best, but that you condemn
yourself and others for not achieving perfection.

Be right. Be always right. Be the only one who
is always right, and be rigid in your rightness.

Don't trust or believe people, or accept them
at anything but their worst and weakest.

Be suspicious.
Insist that others always have hidden motives.

Always compare yourself unfavorably to others.
This guarantees instant misery.

Take personally everything that happens to you.

Don't give yourself whole-heartily
to anyone or anything.

THAT OUGHTA DO IT!


                       


                       
"Questions & Answers

Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart.
Try to love the questions themselves
Like locked rooms and like books
That are written in a very foreign language.
Do not now seek the answers,
Which cannot be given you
Because you would not be able to live them.

Live the Question now.

Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it,
Live along some distant day into the Answer."

Larry Smith








           









"Regret for the past is a waste of spirit."









"Even in the best of circumstances,
we are all just learning.
No parents are fully enlightened.
Children will unconsciously absorb
their parent' fears and biases and
later in life will, one hopes, learn to
become conscious of these conditioned
attitudes and find ways to release them.
This is normal; this is the work we all have to do."

Richard Moss





           
"What the mind harbors
The soul lives
And the body creates."

 

 

 

 



           

"If that which you seek
you findest not within,
You will never find it without."








           
"Fear is something to be moved through...
Not something to be turned from."

           


           

"Ritual provides the bridge between
inner and outer worlds,
and creates a context for connecting
to the seat of our souls.
The end result of all ritual
is increased balance,
strength, energy and comfort."

Angeles Arrien


           
"Positive thoughts yield positive results...
Loving, caring, sharing, health, wealth, happiness.
Negative thoughts bring negative results...
Dislike, indifference, withholding, dis-ease,
Poverty, fear, lack, alienation."


           








"Don't be afraid to go out on a limb...that's where the fruit is."




"The mind goes insane without the guidance of the heart." Marianne Williamson









"How To Be Happy"

1. Make up your mind to be happy. Learn to find pleasure in simple things.

2. Make the best of your circumstances. No one has everything, and everyone has something of sorrow intermingled with gladness of life. The trick is to make the laughter outweigh the tears.

3. Don't take yourself too seriously. Don't think that somehow you should be protected from misfortune that befalls other people.

4. You can't please everybody. Don't let criticism worry you.

5. Don't let your neighbor set your standards. Be yourself.

6. Do the things you enjoy doing but stay out of debt.

7. Never borrow trouble. Imaginary things are harder to bear than real ones.

8. Since hate poisons the soul, do not cherish jealousy, enmity, grudges. Avoid people who make you unhappy.

9. Have many interests. If you can't travel, read about new places.

10. Don't hold post-mortems. Don't spend your time brooding over sorrows or mistakes. Don't be one who never gets over things.

11. Do what you can for those less fortunate than yourself.

12. Keep busy at something. A busy person never has time to be unhappy.

- Robert Louis Stevenson -


           
""The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious.
It is the source of all true art and science.
He to whom this emotion is a stranger,
Who can no longer pause to wonder
And stand rapt in awe is as good as dead:
His eyes are closed."

Albert Einstein











"Most people are paralyzed by fear.
Overcome it and you take charge
of your life and your world."


           

"Who is more foolish.
The child afraid of the dark,
Or the man afraid of the Light ?"

Maurice Freehill








This is to remind you of that trusting child inside you
who learned a long time ago that you have to fall a few times
before you can walk.

This is to help you remember the light-hearted,
land-on-your-feet spirit that is within you,
and the never-give-up prizefighter you can be
when you want to.

This is to tell you that you've got what it takes-
It's been in you all along,
Just waiting for you to believe again.

If you ever forget, just take a look in the mirror
at the wonderful, powerful person staring you right
in the face-because that's the you that others see,
and are inspired by, and love so very much.
           







"We take risks not to escape Life...
but to prevent Life from escaping us."








"Every morning in Africa, a Gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion,
or it will be killed...
Every morning a Lion wakes up.
It knows it must outrun the slowest Gazelle,
or it will starve to death.
It doesn't matter whether you are a Lion or a Gazelle...
When the sun comes up, you'd better be running!"










Be careful of your thoughts...
  for your thoughts become your words.
Be careful of your words...
  for your words become your actions.
Be careful of your actions...
  for your actions become your habits.
Be careful of your habits...
  for your habits become your character.
Be careful of your character...
  for your character becomes your destiny.

1. Take time to Work - It is the price of success.

2. Take time to Think - It is the source of power.

3. Take time to Play - It is the secret of youth.

4. Take time to Read - It is the foundation of knowledge.

5. Take time to Worship - It is the highway of reverence and washes the dust of earth from our eyes.

6. Take time to Help and Enjoy Friends - It is the source of happiness.

7. Take time to Love - It is the one sacrament of life.

8. Take time to Dream - It hitches the soul to the stars.

9. Take time to Laugh - It is the singing that helps with life's loads.

10. Take time to Plan - It is the secret of being able to have time to take time for the first 9 things.

give them yours !"
