Quote for today--When looking at the big picture, we all know that how we finish is more important than how we start. Many> successful people started out in life with the odds against them, and came through winners. They did not let their starting situation determine their final outcome.

Move past! Don't get discouraged. Don't blame your past! Stop looking back and start looking forward. Then , you will move ahead in leaps and bounds. LOve and Light

Quote for today--We all have needs wants, and desires. These feelings indicate what we value most, But, sometimes, wants, needs, and desires come into conflict, and we must decide where to invest our time and attention. No one can do everything at once. So, when a conflict arises, take the time to think about your long-term values before you make a decision about where to focus your energy. Remember, when you focus on one thing, you often must let go of another (at least for the time being). Ultimately , you must go with the decision that supports your highest values, and will make you happiest both now and in the future. Love and Light

Quote for today--Those things you experience for yourself, in your mind, in your body, in your soul, are the things which are truly real for you. The more you actually taste of life, the better that taste will become. When was the last time you had the exhilarating feeling of being fully and completely alive? When was the last time your mind and your senses and your spirit came in direct contact with the world? Touch it, feel it, smell it, experience it, live it, know it. Jump in, get your feet wet, get your whole body immersed in the awesome, real experience of being alive. Love and Light

Quote for today--Just because there are obstacles to overcome does not mean it cannot be done. When you focus not on the obstacles themselves, but rather on how you'll get beyond them, it will be done, and you'll be the one who does it. Doubt exists entirely in the mind and when you put it out of your mind it ceases to exist. Rather than struggling to fight doubt, or to conquer it, or to live with it, you can simply abandon it and it will evaporate into thin air. Fill your mind with positive thoughts, fill your moments with positive, productive actions, and doubt will have no place in your life. LOve and Light

Quote for today-- When you hold too tightly to the thoughts and feelings that come along, you end up getting stuck. This is true for positive thoughts and feelings as well as for negative ones. Though perhaps it's a little nicer being stuck in a pleasant place than it is being stuck in an unpleasant place, what's even better is not to be stuck at all. What's even better is to be continually moving toward higher and higher levels of joy and fulfillment. Love and Light

Quote of the day--Imagine how dull life would be if you only saw things in black and white. What if all the infinitely wonderful shades that we are able to appreciate turned to shades of gray? Our sensitivity enables us to find magic within the ordinary. Maybe it is our sense of style and innate creativity. Or could it be we know there is much more pleasure in having three colorful sweaters instead of just one white one? Never under estimate your abilities, your creativity and your sensitivity. With all these talents no one can deny that you are amazing. LOve and Light

Quote for today--When you're looking good on the outside, with a new outfit or haircut, your day goes more smoothly and you handle setbacks more easily. This feels good and helps us handle the daily grind. But, tackling challenges is much easier and more dramatic when you feel good about yourself on the inside. A strong self-worth builds, personal resilience, which helps you face challenges and bounce back from adversity. You grow stronger from the inside out, and feel the confidence to persevere and move forward with enthusiasm. So when things go wrong, and they will, don't reach for your credit card. Instead reach inside for that priceless deposit of self-worth. Love and Light

Quote for today--Whatever you desire to do, it's important to start somewhere, and the best somewhere is exactly where you are. If you feel overwhelmed by the task, release that feeling and just get started. When you feel outnumbered or overpowered, choose to let go of that feeling and simply get started. If you think you're unworthy or unable, leave that thinking behind and set about to start where you are. Then work to move yourself steadily toward where you intend to go. Some days you'll make more progress, and some days you'll make less that you'd like. Let the victories and the disappointments all serve to push you continually forward. LOve and Light

QUOTE FOR TODAY--What have you always dreamed of doing, or becoming, or creating, or achieving? Without question, it is possible for you right now. The things you see as limitations may be very real indeed, yet they do not have to be your limitations. When the desire is strong enough, and the dream is meaningful and genuine enough, there is a way to reach it. Your limitations may prevent you from achieving someone else's idea of success. Yet they cannot prevent you from achieving that which you most truly and deeply desire. Love and Light
