Gods in the Chrysalis. ... again. ...

"Whenever you go out of doors, draw the chin in, carry the crown of the head high, and fill the lungs to the utmost;  drink in the sunshine;

Greet your friends with a smile, and put soul into every handclasp.

Do not fear being misunderstood & do not waste a minute thinking about your enemies.

Try to fix firmly in your mind what you would like to do; and then without veering off direction, you will move straight to the goal.

Keep your mind on the great and splendid things you would like to do, and then, as the days go gliding by, you will find yourself unconsciously seizing upon the opportunities that are required for the fulfilment of your desire, just as the coral insect takes from the running tide the element it needs.

Picture in your mind the able, earnest, useful person you desire to be, and the thought you hold is hourly transforming you into the particular individual…

Thought is supreme.

Preserve a right mental attitude — the attitude of courage, frankness, and good cheer.

To think right is to create.

All things come through desire and EVERY sincere prayer is answered.

We become like that on which our hearts are fixed.

Whenever you go out of doors, draw the chin in, carry the crown of the head high.

We are gods in the chrysalis."

— Elbert Hubbard

Soar....no matter!!!

"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions.
Small people always do that, but the really great
make you feel that you, too, can become great."
   - Mark Twain

Let's Go!!!!

"Don't Wait!

Start on your dreams, your impulses,
your longings, your special occasions TODAY!   

Because THIS is your moment."

Bedtime chat....

"Finish each day and be done with it.

You have done what you could;
some blunders and absurdities have crept in;

FORGET them as soon as you can.

Tomorrow is a NEW day;
you shall begin it serenely
and with TOO HIGH A SPIRIT
to be encumbered with your old nonsense."

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Carry on....Today is a new beginning!

"Old friends pass away, new friends appear.

It is just like the days.

An old day passes, a new day arrives.

The important thing is to make it meaningful every time:  a meaningful friend - or a meaningful day.

- Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama

Solitude and peace

We need to find God, and he cannot
be found in noise and restlessness.

God is the friend of silence.

See how nature - trees, flowers, grass -  grows in silence; see the stars,
the moon and the sun, how they move in silence...

We need silence to be able to touch souls.
- Mother Teresa

Flip it.....

"Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile,
but sometimes your smile
can be the source of your joy."
- Thich Nhat Hanh

Amen - Daily Guidance!

Perspective and attitude

"Unexpected events can set you back or set you up.
It's all a matter of perspective."

Wasted Worry

"If only the people who worry about their liabilities would think about the riches they do possess,
they would stop worrying."
- Dale Carnegie

Happy Independence Day!!!

Remember - especially on this significant day - that ALL True visions of Greatness and Opportunity, in order to come to fruition, must begin and persevere with unwavering Faith, endless Hope,  insurmountable Courage and undeniable Strength!!

Many lives have been given in sacrifice of this Great vision and opportunity over the past 200 plus years. Please take a moment to say a prayer today for those "who have laid such a costly sacrifice on the Altar of Freedom" so that we can enjoy a day like today with our friends and family!

Have a Safe and Peaceful Holiday Weekend!!  

Stay Strong and God Bless America!!!
