Quote for today--We understand that by giving we receive. We grasp that by lighting others' candles, we do not lose our own light. The more candles one lights, the more enlightened the world becomes. Love and Light

Quote for today--Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life, and when it comes, hold your head high. Look it squarely in the eye, and say, "I will be bigger than you. You cannot defeat me." Love and Light

Quote for today-Though trouble may surround you, close in upon you, and grow more challenging with each moment, it does not have to define you. Within you there is always a place for peace to live, and when that peace is there, it radiates powerfully outward. A peaceful response does not mean that you allow others to harm you or take advantage of you. What it means is that you remain committed to being and doing what is right, rather than being overcome by whatever has gone wrong. A peaceful response is not a weak, naive response, but rather a strong, confident, powerful and effective one. Let a part of you remain at peace, no matter what, and the rest of you, as well as those around you, and the situations in which you're involved, will benefit greatly. Love and Light

Quote for today--Your quiet inner voice helps you make decisions, gives you direction and acts as your guide. Intuition talks to you in different ways. Sometimes it's a strong feeling or an inner "knowing" Sometimes it's a sudden flash of inspiration or a moment of clarity. No matter how intuition speaks to you, know it always wants the best for you. Next time you're faced with an important decision, calm your mind, let go of self-serving emotions or thoughts and let your intuition speak. At first, it may be subtle. But with awareness you can recognize it instantly. Trust your intuition to be your guiding light, It will never disappoint you. Love and Light

Quote for today--You were born with a capacity for great courage, for trust in your surroundings and for faith in yourself. But something happened along the way that changed this positive capacity. If you were criticized at an early age and denied encouragement by those you trusted you could learn to believe that something was wrong with you. Over time, such beliefs may appear as the absolute truth-a definition of your identity. Guess what? It's simply not true! You are perfect and it's time to act that way. As hard as it may be to regain your self-esteem, you can forget and forgive what happened when you were young. You can regain courage, trust and faith that are your birthright, by recognizing that, although youthful disillusionment can't be

Quote for today--See clearly what is there in front of you, and think of it in terms of the positive possibilities. There is a positive, forward-looking response to even the most negative and difficult situation. Your thoughts can give power and life to what you don't want, or to what you know is best and most positive. You can choose whatever you prefer by the thoughts you choose to keep in mind. Love and Light

Quote for today--We don't always know why things happen. Disappointments and difficulties may never be explained. You may never fully understand why. No doubt there will be times in your life you will be left scratching your head trying to figure out, "Why?" Letting go when there is no understanding that "why?" is hard. Our culture places such emphasis on finding answers but, finding answers isn't everything. Your life should not stop when you don't understand the events. Instead, you must learn to let go. So, get on with your life. Regain your energy and passion. Let go of the frustration of asking "Why?" and clear the deck for a brighter future. Love and Light

Quote for today--Your life can change at any time, from harmonious to difficult. The reality is that you have no control over circumstances that may turn your life upside down. But there is something you can control. That something is your reaction to the situation. When you accept this and resist the urge to blame and act as the victim, you regain control. Be mindful when life gets tough. Never give away what power you do possess, when confronted with a bad situation. Be calm. Be strong. You can do it! Love and Light

Quote for today--The world is a mirror that reveals what our heart already contains, latent, within it and what we think, feel and expect. All outer existence is merely a school for revealing what the heart itself already knows. Fight with all your being to remove the Veil that covers your heart. Love is like sunshine, it falls everywhere, anywhere, there are no favorite places. Some people build houses to keep the sun out, that is their choice, that is their ego. Love and Light

Quote for today--Try something different today. If you happen to be standing in line and it's moving slowly, instead of becoming agitated by the wait, focus on the positive side. You now have a few extra minutes to review your errands and make sure you have not forgotten anything; a few extra minutes to think about a project at work; a few extra minutes to chuckle about something funny your child said earlier in the day. Don't tie up your emotional energy to become agitated or anxious about situations you can't control. Instead, go with the flow. This change of attitude will make a huge difference in your day. LOve and Light

Quote for today--Most of us don't really give much thought to happiness. We just know whether we feel happy or not. If you're not happy, you may go searching for it. You may think happiness will come with material things or relationships. Often it doesn't. If you feel that people react to you negatively or offensively to things that you do and say, it may be time that you share your troubles with others too often. After a while people begin to avoid you, and that makes unhappiness worse. Lasting happiness comes from sharing your positive attitude with others. The more you share the more you will get it in return. Happiness also comes from serving others, like finding little ways to make others happy. LOve and Light

Quote for today--You are alive and living, with people who love and care about you, in a world filled with opportunities and positive possibilities in every direction. There is plenty to be done, plenty to learn, plenty to experience, and lots of room to grow. What an incredible opportunity you have right in front of you. It is the opportunity to live, and indeed it would be difficult to imagine anything more valuable. Keep yourself attuned to the good, the valuable, the positive things, and they are what will grow in your life. Love and Light

Quote for today--Self-compassion is the ability to acknowledge your shortcomings, your vulnerability and your humanness-yet still perceive yourself as the lovable person you are. You can never truly give to another if you feelempty inside. You can force yourself to give, but your giving won't be genuine and you will feel resentful. This is why it is so important to care for yourself first. No one can give a gift they don't already possess. So, practice self-compassion today. Meet your own deepest needs. Take time for yourself, by listening to your inner voice and feeling your own emotions. Know that they are okay, because your are human. Love and Light

Quote for today--As you go through your life, take the time to live. Take time to appreciate and enjoy the beauty that surrounds you, to make a difference, to do something that you truly care about. Take the time to know your passion, to follow your purpose, to do something more than simply get through the day. Take time to lift up another, to really listen, to truly care. Take time to seek out the real joys of being alive and aware, of being a unique person with a special purpose. Take time to genuinely give of yourself, for that is the best gift you can offer. Love and Light

QUOTE FOR TODAY--Personal goals and dreams are not formed over night; they are built with each passing day. It's important that you do something each day toward fulfilling your personal dreams. Every effort, no matter how small or insignificant, can make a difference. As those daily "blocks" build on one another and, slowly but surely, add up. Be patient with yourself and never give up. Your tower will slowly grow and, sooner than you think, you'll be standing at the top! LOVE AND LIGHT
