Change

The walls we build around us to keep sadness out also keeps out the joy.
It is the set of the sails, not the direction of the wind that determines which way we will go.
For every disciplined effort there is a multiple reward.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Days are expensive. When you spend a day you have one less day to spend. So make sure you spend each one wisely.
The challenge of leadership is to be strong, but not rude; be kind, but not weak; be bold, but not a bully; be thoughtful, but not lazy; be humble, but not timid; be proud, but not arrogant; have humor, but without folly.

There is a growing body of cosmologists—the scientists who explain the origin and nature of the cosmos—developing theories of a completely new universe, one that is living, conscious, and evolving.

Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more.

If we choose to believe we are helpless victims and that it’s all hopeless, then the Universe will support us in that belief, and we will just go down the drain. It is vital that we release these foolish, outmoded, negative ideas and beliefs that do not support us and nourish us. Even our concept of God needs to be one that is for us, not against us.
