Easter & Passover

The great gift of Easter is hope -

Christian hope which makes us

have that confidence in God,

in his ultimate triumph, and in

his goodness and love, which

nothing can shake.

~ Basil Hume ~

For the religious, Passover

is the grateful remembrance of

a homeward journey after

years of suffering.

~ Andre Aciman ~

Humanity

You must not lose faith in humanity.

Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops

of the ocean is dirty, the ocean

 does not become dirty.

~ Mahatma Gandhi ~

Let Our Light Shine

We are told to let our light shine,

and if it does, we won't need to tell

anybody it does.  Lighthouses don't

fire cannons to call attention to their shining -

they just shine.

~ Dwight L. Moody ~

Leadership

Leadership is practiced not

so much in words as in

attitude and actions.

~ Harold S. Geneen ~

Reclaim Your Power

You reclaim your power by

loving what you were once

taught to hate.

~ Bryant H. McGill ~

Life's Essential Lesson

The essential lesson that I've

learned in life is to just be

yourself.  Treasure the

magnificent being that you

are and recognize first and

foremost you're not here as

a human being only.  You're a

spiritual being having a

human experience.

~ Wayne Dyer ~

Your Ability

Don't measure yourself by what you have accomplished,

but by what you should have accomplished with your ability.

~ John Wooden ~

Doing the Impossible

Start by doing what's necessary;

then do what's possible;

and suddenly you are doing the impossible.

~ Francis of Assisi ~

Sunshine

Wherever you go, 

whatever the weather

always bring your own sunshine. 

~ Anthony D’Angelo ~ 

Successful People

Successful people maintain a positive focus in life

no matter what is going on around them.

They stay focused on their past successes rather than their past failures,

and on the next action steps they need to take them closer

to the fulfillment of their goals rather than all the other

distractions that life presents to them.

~ Jack Canfield ~

Irish Eyes

I see the world through Irish eyes,

and they are smiling.

~ Denise Morrison ~

 

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Positive Thoughts

Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones,

you'll start having positive results.

~ Willie Nelson ~

Be Curious

Look up at the stars and not down at your feet.

Try to make sense of what you see,

and wonder about what makes the universe exist.

Be curious.

~ Stephen Hawking ~

 R.I.P. 

Work Hard

Work hard for what you want

because it won't come to you without a fight.

You have to be strong and courageous

and know that you can do anything you put your mind to.

If somebody puts you down or criticizes you,

just keep on believing in yourself and turn it into something positive.

~ Leah LaBelle ~

Enjoy Every Minute

Learn to enjoy every minute of your life.

Be happy now.

Don't wait for something outside of yourself

to make you happy in the future.

Think how really precious is the time you have to spend,

whether it's at work or with your family.

Every minute should be enjoyed and savored.

~ Earl Nightingale ~

Courage to Continue

Success is not final; failure is not fatal:

it is the courage to continue that counts.

~ Winston Churchill ~

Your Worth

No one can figure out your worth but you.

~ Pearl Bailey ~

A Woman

A woman is like a tea bag -

you can't tell how strong she is

until you put her in hot water.

~ Eleanor Roosevelt ~

Happy International Women's Day!

Winter

No winter lasts forever;

no spring skips its turn.

~ Hal Borland ~

Bad Habits

It is easier to prevent bad habits

than to break them.

~ Benjamin Franklin ~

Great Dancers

Great dancers are not great because of their technique,

they are great because of their passion.

~ Martha Graham ~

The Wind

The pessimist complains about the wind;

the optimist expects it to change;

the realist adjusts the sails.

~ William Arthur Ward ~

Never Alone

For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others;

for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness;

and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.

~ Audrey Hepburn ~
