Hope

Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work: you don’t give up. Anne Lamott

Changing

Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself. Rumi

You

Accept everything about yourself - I mean everything. You are you and that is the beginning and the end - no apologies, no regrets. Clark Moustakas

True friendship comes when silence between two people becomes comfortable. Dave Tyson Gentry

Striving

Striving for excellence motivates you; striving for perfection is demoralizing.  Harriet Braiker

Happiness

The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance; the wise grows it under his feet. James Oppenheim

Still Mind

To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders. Lao Tzu

Grace

Crossing

You can’t cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water. Rabindranath Tagore

Goals

Goals provide the energy source that powers our lives. One of the best ways we can get the most from the energy we have is to focus it. That is what goals can do for us; concentrate our energy. Denis Waitley

Thoughts

You feel the way you do right now because of the thoughts you are thinking at this moment. David D. Burns

Forgiveness

Those who withhold forgiveness only withhold it from themselves. Paul Ferrini

Truth

Truth is a river that is always splitting up into arms that reunite. Islanded between the arms, the inhabitants argue for a lifetime as to which is the main river. Cyril Connolly

Divine Light

The wise see in every form the divine form; in every heart they see the divine light shining. Hazrat Inayat Khan
