Quote of the Day!

Do not confuse 'duty' with what other people expect of you; they are utterly different. Duty is a debt you owe to yourself to fulfill obligations you have assumed voluntarily. Paying that debt can entail anything from years of patient work to instant willingness to die. Difficult it may be, but the reward is self-respect.
~ Lazarus Long (Robert A. Heinlein)

Cherish your visions and your dreams
as they are the children of your soul;
the blue prints of your ultimate
accomplishments.

Quote of The Day!

~ Perhaps the most important thing we bring to another person is the silence within us.

Not the sort of silence that is filled with unspoken criticism or hard withdrawal but he sort of silence that is a place of refuge, of rest, of acceptance of someone as they are.

We are all hungry for this other silence.

It is hard to find. In its presence we can remember something beyond the moment, a strength on which to build a life.

Silence is a place of great power and healing ~


Rachel Naomi Remen
 
‎"Not even the depths of despair are dark enough to smother the spark of hope. The shadow of doubt only exists because the flame of hope burns so brightly."

You can have anything you want --
if you want it badly enough. You can
be anything you want to be, do anything
you set out to accomplish if you hold to
that desire with singleness of purpose.

Making the decision to have a child
it's momentous. It is to decide forever
to have your heart go walking around
outside your body.

Those who love deeply never grow old;
they may die of old age, but they die young.

"Strength comes in many forms, but the most potent is of course the most invisible. And often we do not realize we have the strength within us to conquer all that would oppose our dreams. So we stand idly by, waiting for our beings to be filled with the strength necessary, but with just a little insight we could take that first step ourselves...."

"Where we seek solitude, we find only companions. Where we seek peace we find only journeys. Where we seek fulfillment we find only larger vessels. Where we seek answers...we, of course, find only questions. But are the things we seek and the things we find ever anything less than one and the same?"
 
To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.
~Lewis B. Smedes,

Forgiving is love's toughest work, and love's biggest risk. If you twist it into something it was never meant to be, it can make you a doormat or an insufferable manipulator. Forgiving seems almost unnatural. Our sense of fairness tells us people should pay for the wrong they do. But forgiving is love's power to break nature's rule.
~Lewis B. Smedes

Never does the human soul appear so strong as when is foregoes revenge and dares to forgive an injury.

~ Confucius​

~A lie will easily get you out of a scrape, and yet, strangely and beautifully, rapture possesses you when you have taken the scrape and left out the lie. ~
