LIFE
~People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway. If you are successful you will win some false friends and true enemies; Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; It was never between you and them anyway.
~Mother Teresa
Dare to Dream
Dream of the life you want to live
The sights you want to see
The skills you want to cultivate
The you, you want to be...Dream of the life you want to live
Then take your dream to heart
In everything you do or say
Let your dream play a part...Let it be a shining star
That guides you on your way
Dream of the life you want to live
Then Live Your Dream Each Day

a way of LIFE
A mantra by the Dalai Lama:
Activity gets you busy. But productivity gets you results. Activity consumes time. Productivity frees it.Don't ask yourself why life is so complicated. Stop analyzing life. Just live it. Analysis is what makes it complicated.
We are constantly unhappy, because our today is the tomorrow that we worried about yesterday. We worry because we analyze.Worrying has become our habit. That's why we are not happy.Don't worry about uncertainty because it is inevitable, but worrying is optional.Pain is not due to uncertainty. Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.We go through trials but don't have to suffer, it's also optional.With that experience our life becomes better not bitter.Experience is a hard teacher.She gives the test first and the lessons afterwards.She offers beneficial lessons to enhance mental strength.Inner strength comes from struggle and endurance, not when you are free from problems.
And though succeeding fast seems to hurt more than moving in the right direction remember that success is a measure as decided by others. Satisfaction is a measure as decided by you. Knowing the road ahead is more satisfying than knowing you rode ahead. You work with the compass. Let others work with the clock.
Always look at how far you have come rather than how far you have to go. Always count your blessing, not what you are missing.Frankly, in the midst of so many problems, we don't know where we are heading.
We always ask "Why me?" when we suffer, but hardly ever when we prosper.
Everyone wishes to have truth on their side, but few want to be on the side of the truth.Seek not to find who you are, but to determine who you want to be.
Stop looking for a purpose as to why you are here. Create it. Life is not a process of discovery but a process of creation.
To get the best out of life, face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear.
Keep the faith and drop the fear. Don't believe your doubts or doubt your beliefs. Life is a mystery to solve not a problem to resolve

I WANT TO KNOW
It doesnt interest me what you do for a living.
I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your hearts longing.
It doesnt interest me how old you are.
I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool, for love, for your dream, for the adventure of being alive.
It doesnt interest me what planets are squaring your moon...
I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by lifes betrayals, or have become shrivelled and closed from fear of further pain.
I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own, without moving to hide it, or fade it, or fix it.
I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own, if you can dance with wildness, and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to...
be careful, be realistic, remember the limitations of being human.
It doesnt interest me if the story you are telling me is true.
I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself. If you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul. If you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy.
I want to know if you can see beauty, even when it is not pretty every day. And if you can source your own life from its presence.
I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine.
It doesnt interest me to know where you live or how much money you have.
It doesnt interest me who you know or how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me and not shrink back.
It doesnt interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away.
I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.

quote on...
"Think "impossible" and dreams get discarded, projects get abandoned, and hope for wellness is torpedoed.But let someone yell the words "It's possible,"and resources we hadn't been aware of come rushing in to assist us in our quest. I believe we are all potentially brilliant and creative--but only if we believe it, only if we have an attitude of positive expectancy toward our ideas, and only if we act on them." - Greg Anderson
Make it a habit to tell people thank you. To express your appreciation,sincerely and without the expectation of anything in return.Truly appreciate those around you,and you'll soon find many others around you.Truly appreciate life, and you'll find that you have more of it.-- Ralph Marston.
Action is eloquence. Acting is my life and other than that- my favorite thing to do is run, I think the reason I like it so much is because it kind of signifies my life- I can just keep pushing and run forever to the point that it feels like I'm flying- and in life I can keep pushing until all of my dreams come true-push through the hard times, and before ya know it im FlyI can do ANYTHING. I like learning new things,not only expanding my resume, but gaining new ways to relate to the world, and those around me.~unknown
"...whether it is an old friend or new friend,there's not much difference anyway, because I always believe we are the same; we are all human beings.Of course, there may be differences in cultural background or way of life,there may be differences in our faith, or we may be of a different color, but we are human beings, consisting for the human body and the human mind. Our physical structure is the same, and our mind and our emotional nature are also the same.Wherever I meet people, I always have the feeling that I am encoutering another human being, just like myself. I find it is much easier to comunicate with others on that level. If we emphasize specific characteristics,like I am Tibetan or I am Buddhist,then there are differences. But those things are secondary. If we can leave the differences aside, I think we can easily communicate, exchange ideas, and share experiences."-Dalai Lama
