Wake Up Call…

baby and tiger 2This is a wake up call about life and how people choose to live missing what’s important, worrying about what isn’t important, not being grateful for what we have, and ignoring the beauty of life that is all around us. We’re all guilty of this, but perhaps now is the time for a change in perception.

“The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, answered:

“Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived”

What is Your Destination…What is Your Dream

“Life has to have a destination. You decide what you want and the best way to get there, no matter how long it takes. Dreams are hard work…there are no shortcuts. Think about the end result and persevere until you achieve them. If it takes one year or ten years, it doesn’t matter. Dreams are more important than how long they take or what fears you may have”

You Have to Try

Failure and determination“How will you feel going to your grave without having tried to do what you really want to do.  People who have failed are happier for having tried…wiser for what they learned about themselves.  No effort amounts to failure”

Elaine Aron, Author

Love Comes To…

“After a few (or many) bad relationships, it’s so easy to shut down, give up, and stop believing that the right person is out there for us. Our hearts yearn to fall in love, but our minds insist it’s not possible, and we enter into a tug-of-war with ourselves. It’s as if one part of us is screaming, “Yes! I deserve a great relationship!” while another part insists, “I’ll never find him or her.” When our beliefs contradict our desires, we experience an inner conflict that not only paralyzes us, but can actually prevent us from recognizing the possibilities for love that exist all around us.”

Whatever is bringing you down…

“Sometimes you have to let everything go…purge yourself.  If you are unhappy with anything…whatever is bringing you down…get rid of it.  Because you will find that when you are free, your true creativity, your true self comes out”

Look at Your Thoughts

“If you want to know what your thoughts were like in the past,

look at your body. 

If you want to know what your body will be like in the future,

look at your thoughts today.”
