"Purpose: Expansion of happiness is the purpose of creation and we are all here to enjoy and radiate happiness
everywhere". ~ Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
GRATITUDE is the eternal law of increase, the complete power of Divine multiplication. The prayer of thanksgiving
equals the law of plenty. Through sincere, heart-felt gratitude, the fullness of supply can be discharged in the
increasing abundance to more than fill the measure of one's needs." ~ Karol K. Truman
The Guest House~Rumi
This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all! Even if they're a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house empty of its
furniture, still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out for some new delight. The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door
laughing, and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.
The moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that
would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decisions, raising in one's favor all
manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamed would
have come his way. Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.
Begin it now. ~ Goethe
Let the beauty of what you love be what you do. ~ Rumi
Solitude, silence, and freedom are the nourishers of life. We think we are nourishing ourselves with words, ideas,
thoughts, but though these things are the content of consciousness, they are not the content of reality. - Vimala
Thaker
Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for awhile, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are
never, ever the same ~ Flavia
The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes. ~ Marcel Proust
Reframe your experiences to find the blessing rather than the problem. Then you will become the master of your
world, rather than its victim. ~Alan Cohen
If you want to identify me, ask me not where I live, or what I like to eat, for how I comb my hair, but ask me what I am
living for, in detail, and ask me what I think is keeping me from living fully for the thing I want to live for. ~Thomas
Merton
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our
light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and
fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There
is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people will not feel insecure around you. We were born to make
manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not in just some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light
shine, we unconsciously give people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence
automatically liberates others. ~Marianne Williamson
Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done. ~Louis Brandeis
