Making the World Better

"Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark.... Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won. It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours."- Ayn Rand, was the best selling author of The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged

You can make the world a better place by the choices you make! 

Ahhh...paradise

Just returned from a relaxing trip to La Amada Hotel at Playa Mujeres, Mexico.  It was amazing!  Looking forward to beginning a new yoga class at The Yoga Place in Longview this week! 

Believe

"The only difference I can see between people living a life of their dreams and people dreaming of living another life is their ability to believe (even in the face of massive resistance) that the life they want is possible for them and persist in that belief longer than anyone else. Inside you is a great expression dying to be heard and it shall be if you hang in there, keep going and don't listen to ANYONE who tells you it can't be done."  --thedailylove.com

Heartbeats

"Every heartbeat is not just the mechanism of a sophisticated plumbing system but the echo of God's voice, the murmur of His love." 

Don't take even one heartbeat for granted.  Each one is a gift. 

In Order

"Often people attempt to live their lives backwards; they try to have more things, or more money in order to do more of what they want so they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then do what you need to do in order to have what you want."

- Margaret Young

Wake Up

"God is available to you and me all the time, welling up within us, quenching our unsatisfied desires, overflowing to refresh those around us.  He is in every place, all the time.  And every once in a while, somebody somewhere wakes up."    

--John Ortberg

Release the Attachments

"Enjoy everything that happens in your life, but never make your happiness or success dependent on an attachment to any thing, place or person." --Wayne Dyer

Oh, I have learned this the hard way.  And I hope and pray I learned it well because I don't want to experience it again!
