"You cannot live without dying.
You cannot live if you do not die psychologically every minute.
This is not an intellectual paradox.
To live completely,
wholly, every day as if it were a new loveliness, there must be dying to everything of yesterday, otherwise you live mechanically,
and a mechanical mind can never know what Love is or what Freedom is."

"Death is not extinguishing the light;
it is only putting out the lamp because the dawn has come."

Easter is the perfect day for all of us to focus on re-birth, resurrection and renewal!!
Wherever you are on your journey you can use today as the starting point to begin ANEW!

"The wise man in the storm prays God, not for safety from danger, but for deliverance from fear.
It is the storm within which endangers him, not the storm without.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
"The happiness of one's own heart alone cannot satisfy the soul;
> one must try to include,
> as necessary to one's own happiness,
> the happiness of others.

"Obstacles are like wild animals.
They are cowards but they will bluff you if they can.
If they see you are afraid of them...
they are liable to spring upon you;
but if you look them squarely in the eye,
they will slink out of sight."
- Orison Swett Marden
Do not allow life's bumps and twists to drag you down!
No matter who we are and no matter what challenges or obstacles we have on our plate today - we can overcome it!!
The sooner we can recognize that life is designed to test us - designed to throw us curveballs and to forge our character through hardship, disappointments and roadblocks!
Remember that all of these challenges are merely temporary and they will pass in time!
You are not alone!
You are on the right path and exactly where you are supposed to be at this moment - that includes all of life's challenges and hardships as well!
So enthusiastically accept the trials and tests thrown our way, keep our head down - and keep moving forward!!!!
Focus on the solution and not the problem - and do not fear anything!
Stay Strong - a New Day is dawning!
