What inspires you? “It is never about how good your voice is; it is only about feeling the urge to sing, and then having the courage to do it with the voice you are given.” -- Katie in ‘True to Form’ by Elizabeth Berg How often have you allowed fear and your inner critic to stop you from doing something you were inspired to do? Helen Keller said, "Life is either a grand adventure or nothing.” When we allow fear and criticism to stop us in our tracks, we give up that grand adventure. What a waste! “Be an all-out, not a hold-out.” -- Norman Vincent Peale IP: Logged |

You inspire me Solane Star, no joke I'm going to make these quotes accessible so I can see them everyday-maybe put them on my vanity mirror in the bedroom. IP: Logged |

Everything you can imagine is real. -Pablo PicassoDon't let the negativity given to you by the world disempower you. Instead give to yourself that which empowers you. -Les Brown Whatever you vividly imagine, ardently desire, sincerely believe and enthusiastically act upon ... must inevitably come to pass. -Paul Meyer Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined. -Henry David Thoreau IP: Logged |

The Man in the Glass When you get what you want in your struggle for self And the world makes you king for a day, Just go to a mirror and look at yourself And see what THAT man has to say. For it isn’t your father or mother or wife Whose judgement upon you must pass; The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life Is the one staring back from the glass. Some people may think you a straight-shootin’ chum And call you a wonderful guy, But the man in the glass says you’re only a bum If you can’t look him straight in the eye. He’s the fellow to please, never mind all the rest, For he’s with you clear up to the end. And you’ve passed your most dangerous difficult test If the man in the glass is your friend. You may fool the whole world down the path-way of life And get pats on your back as you pass, But your final reward will be heartaches and tears If you’ve cheated the man in the glass. You cannot be lonely if you like the person you're alone with. -- Wayne Dyer

The Oyster There once was an Oyster whose story I tell, Who found that some sand was inside his shell Just one little grain, but it gave him great pain! For oysters have feelings, though they all seem so plain. Now did he berate the workings of fate. Which had led him to such a deplorable state? Did he curse out the government—call for an election, And cry that the sea “should have given protection?” No! He said to himself as he lay on the shelf, “Since I cannot remove it, I’ll try to improve it.” The years rolled along, as the years always do, And he came to his ultimate destiny—stew! And the small grain of sand that had bothered him so, Was a beautiful pearl, all richly aglow! The tale has a moral, for isn’t it grand. What an oyster can do with a morsel of sand? What couldn’t I do if I’d only begin, With all those things that “get under my skin!” IP: Logged |

quote: Jesus said, "Let him who seeks continue seeking until he finds. When he finds, he will become troubled. When he becomes troubled, he will be astonished, and he will rule over the All.
quote: Jesus said, "Recognize what is in your sight, and that which is hidden from you will become plain to you . For there is nothing hidden which will not become manifest.
