Secrets that Burden Us
Being vulnerable doesn't have to be threatening. Just have the courage to be sincere, open and honest. This opens the door to deeper communication all around. It creates self-empowerment and the kind of connections with others we all want in life. Speaking from the heart frees us from the secrets that burden us. These secrets are what make us sick or fearful. Speaking truth helps you get clarity on your real heart directives.

Make the World Worthy
Each second we live is a new and unique moment of the universe, a moment that will never be again and what do we teach our children? We teach them that two and two make four, and that Paris is the capital of France. When will we also teach them what they are?
We should say to each of them: Do you know what you are? You are a marvel. You are unique. In all the years that have passed, there has never been another child like you. Your legs, your arms, your clever fingers, the way you move.
You may become a Shakespeare, a Michelangelo, a Beethoven. You have the capacity for anything. Yes, you are a marvel. And when you grow up, can you then harm another who is, like you, a marvel?
You must work, we must all work, to make the world worthy of its children.
- Pablo Casals

What You Put Out
What you put out comes back. The more you sincerely appreciate life from the heart, the more the magnetic energy of appreciation attracts fulfilling life experiences to you, both personally and professionally. Learning how to appreciate more consistently offers many benefits and applications. Appreciation is an easy heart frequency to activate and it can help shift your perspectives quickly. Learning how to appreciate both pleasant and even seemingly unpleasant experiences is a key to increased fulfillment.

You Meant a Lot to You?
When people are asked to remember a person who meant a lot to them in life — a teacher, a friend, a parent, a grandparent — they usually remember a person who really cared and understood them. Think back in your own life. Was there someone who stands out in your memory because they really cared about you?

Compassion Makes A Difference
Follow your dreams of a better world, and keep on trying, even when there seems to be little hope, because it is the right thing to do. We may never know how the seeds of kindness that we plant may help others on their journey, today, or even sometime far in the future. But every act of compassion makes a difference!

You Can Always Do Something
Any change, any loss, does not make us victims. Others can shake you, surprise you, disappoint you, but they can't prevent you from acting, from taking the situation you're presented with and moving on. No matter where you are in life, no matter what your situation, you can always do something. You always have a choice and the choice can be power.

These Are My Wishes For You
May you find serenity and tranquility
in a world you may not always understand.
May the pain you have known
and the conflict you have experienced
give you the strength to walk through life
facing each new situation with courage and optimism.
Always know that there are those
whose love and understanding will always be there,
even when you feel most alone.
May a kind word,
a reassuring touch,
and a warm smile
be yours every day of your life,
and may you give these gifts
as well as receive them.
May the teachings of those you admire
become part of you,
so that you may call upon them.
Remember, those whose lives you have touched
and who have touched yours
are always a part of you,
even if the encounters were less than you would have wished.
It is the content of the encounter
that is more important than its form.
May you not become too concerned with material matters,
but instead place immeasurable value
on the goodness in your heart.
Find time in each day to see beauty and love
in the world around you.
Realize that what you feel you lack in one regard
you may be more than compensated for in another.
What you feel you lack in the present
may become one of your strengths in the future.
May you see your future as one filled with promise and possibility.
Learn to view everything as a worthwhile experience.
May you find enough inner strength
to determine your own worth by yourself,
and not be dependent
on another's judgment of your accomplishments.
May you always feel loved.

Heartprints
Whatever our hands touch -
We leave fingerprints!
On walls, on furniture
On doorknobs, dishes, books.
There's no escape.
As we touch we leave our identity.
Wherever I go today
Help me leave heartprints!
Heartprints of compassion
Of understanding and love.
Heartprints of kindness
And genuine concern.
May my heart touch a lonely neighbor
Or a runaway daughter
Or an anxious mother
Or perhaps an aged grandfather.
Send me out today
To leave heartprints.
And if someone should say,
"I felt your touch,"
May they also sense the love
that is deep within my heart.

To Know Life
To laugh often and much;

To appreciate beauty;

To leave the world a bit better,
whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;
To know even one life has breathed easier
because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded.

How to Take a Compliment
Sometimes we don't want to accept compliments because we don't believe the person giving the compliment is sincere. But their sincerity is not your problem. Take the compliment at face value, say, Thank you, and move on.
Learning to accept compliments graciously may seem awkward at first but gradually it will become second nature. By accepting compliments you will feel better about yourself and you will not be putting down the person who complimented you.

Know Who You Truly Are
The entire process of achieving inner calm is one of searching inside yourself and discovering who you really are. When you strip away all the material aspects of your being and search your higher self, your inner truth, you begin to be filled with a sense of peace.
You realize that maybe you don't need as many material "things" you always thought you did. You become a more spiritual being as you deal with the realities of day-to-day living...

Pursuit of Material Possessions
I like to have "things" just as much as you do. But, I learned long ago not to place my sense of "self-worth" in how much stuff I have.
If you obsess about getting the next house, car, clothes or whatever in order to feel worth something, feeling inner peace and happiness will always elude you.
Learn to place more emphasis on your inner feelings and the present moment.
"The more tranquil a man becomes, the greater is his success, his influence, his power for good. Calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom."

Peace of mind really does come in large part from your ability to shift your thoughts from one of outward focus to inward focus. How you view your world is more important than actual reality.

Motivation
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 frightens us most...We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us; it's in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
- Marianne Williamson

Don’t let the problems of your past prevent you from moving forward. Think of how you can use the problems to motivate yourself to change and resolve.
15. You only have one life
Think about this: you only have one shot at life. So make the most out of every second you have. Reminding yourself of this will help you seize each day.

Happiness
Contrary to what most of us believe, happiness does not simply happen to us. It's something that we make happen, and it results from doing our best. Feeling fulfilled when we live up to our potentialities is what motivates differentiation and leads to evolution.

Difference
There is little difference in people, but that little difference
makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude. The
big difference is whether it is positive or negative.

Peace
The first peace, which is the most important, is that which comes within the souls of people when they realize their relationship, their oneness with the universe and all its powers, and when they realize that at the center of the universe dwells the Great Spirit, and that this center is really everywhere, it is within each of us.

Be Responsible for Your Thoughts
Since you alone are responsible for your thoughts,
only you can change them.
You will want to change them
when you realize that each thought creates
according to its own nature.
Remember that the law works at all times
and that you are always demonstrating
according to the kind of thoughts you habitually entertain.
Therefore, start now to think only those thoughts
that will bring you health and happiness.

I Want to Make a Difference
Do you feel the urge to 'give something back' - but you're not sure what or how?
Sometimes the answer is obvious. It’s right in front of us. It’s looking after a sick relative. It’s dropping a few coins in the collecting box. But often we have to think more deeply. What sort of difference do we want to make? What is the unique contribution that only we can make - because of who we are and what we care about? These are hard questions. Sometimes our whole life slips by before we can answer them. This site helps you to answer these questions.
Find a simple way to make a difference to someone in the next twenty-four hours. Devote between five minutes and half-an-hour to it. Your budget: anywhere from nothing to an hour's wages. It could be as obvious as carrying someone's groceries. It could be buying a book for a friend. It could be phoning someone who's unhappy or troubled. Choose something simple but worthwhile, and go do it. Then see how it makes you feel: our bet is that you'll feel more fulfilled immediately.

Life is Through Gratitude
Living your life through Gratitude, is not one of comparing how you are better than someone else; or Gratitude only for what you own or obtain or achieve. Living your life through Gratitude, is seeing that the world would be missing something very valuable if you were not in it.

Meet Life's Challenges!
You are stronger than you think,
remember to stand tall.
Every challenge in your life
helps you to grow.
Every problem you encounter
strengthens your mind and your soul.
Every trouble you overcome

When all your troubles weigh
heavily on your shoulders,
remember that beneath the burden
you can stand tall,
because you are never given
more than you can handle...
and you are stronger than you think.

A Brand New Day
Each day is a new beginning,
a time to start anew,
while all the stars are sleeping,
and the rose is fresh and new...
Everyday is a new creation,
too lovely to ignore.
Every sunrise is a blessing,
a gift for us today....
The sun climbs higher in the sky,
it's light shimmering and warm.
All things now are clearly seen,
a new day has been born.
The forces of light,
illuminates my life
with a promise of a brand new wisdom...
This is the beginning of a new day,
you have been given this day to use it as you will.
You can waste it or use it for good...
what you do today is important,
because you are exchanging a day of your life for it.
When tomorrow comes,
this day will be gone forever...
in it's place is something that you have left behind....
let it be something good!
