Pay Attention

“For anyone trying to discern what to do with their life: PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU PAY ATTENTION TO. That’s pretty much all the info you need.”

--  Amy Krouse Rosenthal

Take A Walk Out In The Fresh Air

"The people who want to control us through fear and misinformation—the corporations, marketers, politicians—want us to be plugged into our phones or watching TV, because then they can sell us their vision of the world. If we do not get outside, if we do not take a walk out in the fresh air, we do not see our everyday world for what it really is, and we have no vision of our own with which to combat disinformation."

-- Austin Kleon

The Dictionary Defines Will As Choice

"The dictionary defines will as choice, intention, inclination, determination, tendency, and in order to make it the will of Omnipotence you must animate it, make it alive within you by enthusiasm, feeling, and animation until it becomes embodied in the subconscious mind. When man learns to choose wisely, he will choose happiness, peace, security, joy, health, abundance, and all the blessings of life."

-- Joseph Murphy

Now Is The Ony Time You Have

"For now is the only time that we have. It is our only negotiable currency. Yesterday is a canceled check. Tomorrow is a promissory note. It is only today that we may spend in the noble effort of using all the gifts that God gave us."

-- Og Mandino

Take An Honest Look In The Mirror

"Knowledge is different. You can read and gain knowledge; you can go to school and gain knowledge.  With self-awareness or introspection, you step back from the canvas of life, and you take an honest look in the mirror at the person behind the mirror and say, “What am I good at? What do I believe in? What’s important to me? What do I really want to be when I grow up?” This has to do with introspection and authentic self-awareness. We don’t do much of that today, in my opinion."

-- Denis Waitley

Those People With Goals

"It’s interesting—and often quite astonishing—that people with goals tend to live longer than people without them. It’s as if they can extend their lives simply because they have something to do. It must be the interest that lends vitality and energy to their live"

-- Earl Nightingale

Life Is An Art Not A Science

"There are no rules, of course. Life is an art, not a science. Your mileage may vary. Take what you need and leave the rest. Keep going and take care of yourself. I’ll do the same."

-- Austin Kleon

The More Laughter The Better

"Laugh together. The more laughter, the better the quality of life. So focus on subjects that make you both laugh. That, too, will make you feel present. It’s impossible to laugh without being present. Your mind must be where you are if anything is going to be funny. People who laugh cannot have negative thoughts at the same time."

-- Ichak K. Adize

The Measure of Success

"Men don’t fail; they give up trying.” Often it is not the wrong start but the wrong stop that makes the difference between success and failure. To quit while we’re ahead would be silly; to quit when we’re behind is even sillier. It requires will to hold on a little longer. It requires wit to know that the measure of success is not the luck, the breaks of the game, but the conquest of failure. 'The trouble with most of us,' it has been said, 'is that we stop trying in trying times.' There is wisdom even in puns."

-- Elihu Root

The Life Principle

"The Life Principle as it flows through you takes the shape of the mental mold which you prepare for It. Let us take the analogy of water, which will take the shape of any vessel into which it is poured, yet it ever remains the same H2O, regardless of the shape and size of the container. Your thoughts, imagery, and mental patterns mold, fashion, and shape your life."

-- Joseph Murphy
